iSeries NetServer print shares

You can share any iSeries output queue with PC clients in the network by using iSeries NetServer™. Consequently, you can create, display, configure, and end print shares. A print share consists of any iSeries output queue and supports the following spooled file types:

• User ASCII
• Advanced Function Printing
• SNA Character String
• Auto-select

The spooled file type determines how the spooled files are created on your iSeries. If autoselect is not used, the spooled file type must correspond exactly to the output queue destination or you will experience a print error.
