Print from an integrated Windows server to iSeries printers

To send a print job to i5/OS™, you must set up the i5/OS printer for TCP/IP printing. You must also set up the integrated server to use that printer through the LPD/LPR protocol. Your integrated server must also have the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Network Service installed. See the Windows documentation for more information about TCP/IP Printing.

To set up an integrated server to print to i5/OS printers, perform these tasks:

  1. Set up the i5/OS printer for TCP/IP printing. For more information, see TCP/IP Configuration and Reference Link to PDF.
  2. Set up the integrated server to print to i5/OS printers:
    1. From the Start menu on Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003, click Settings, then Printers. The Printers window appears.
    2. Double-click the Add Printer icon. The Add Printer Wizard starts.
    3. Click the Network Printer button.
    4. On the Locate your Printer panel, type the printer name or click Next to browse for the printer.
