<div><p>Many jobs on the iSeries™ server result in printer output. Learn how
to find, track, and manage printer output across the iSeries server.</p>
<p>Many jobs generate output that requires printing. The operating system
handles this by creating spooled files that contain the document data and
processing instructions for the print job. After creating the spooled files,
the operating system sends them to an output queue. Similar to a job queue,
output queues hold many spooled files until a printer becomes available. The
output queue that the operating system sends the spooled file to varies according
to the job attributes, user profile, and workstation settings. Before any
of the spooled files can be printed, a printer device must be varied on, and
a print writer started. The print writer is an <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> function
that runs for each active printer on the system. When started, the print writer
watches the specified output queue (or queues) and sends the
spooled files to its printer.</p>
