Change the message queue for a printer

You can change the location of the message queue that stores messages that are associated with each printer. Changing this location allows you to separate your printing messages from system, user, or error messages.

To change the location of the message queue that stores printer messages, follow these steps:
  1. To display a list of printers, at the i5/OS™ Main Menu type WRKDEVD *PRT at the command line. Press Enter.
  2. Enter 2 (Change) in the Opt column, next to the print device that is changing.
  3. From the Change Device Description display, specify the name of the message queue that you want to change in the message queue parameter field.
