1. Open iSeries Navigator and connect to the system you want to work with.
2. Expand Network.
3. Expand Servers.
4. Click TCP/IP to retrieve a list of the TCP/IP servers available.
5. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Open.
6. Right-click Shared Objects and select New and then select Printer.
