PC client print device drivers for use with print shares

iSeries™ NetServer™ acts as a print server that makes the services of the i5/OS^® network print server available to PC clients. The network print server provides client access to i5/OS print objects and resources.

Network Print Server allows clients with the correct print device drivers to spool print jobs onto i5/OS output queues of various spooled file types. These spooled file types are as follows:

• User ASCII

• Advanced Function Printing™ (AFP™)

• SNA Character String (SCS)

• Auto-select

You can access AFP and SCS print device drivers for the supported Windows^® PC clients in either of the following ways:

• AFP print device drivers are available for free download from the IBM^® Printing systems Web site (www.printers.ibm.com).

• You can also find stand-alone AFP and SCS print device drivers in the Qca400\Win32\Install\Printer folder. Under the appropriate directory for your client type, you can find the AFP and SCS print device drivers.
