Start writers to the output queue

If you did not direct iSeries™ to automatically start remote writers to the output queue when you created it, you need to take one additional step. To begin sending spooled files from your remote output queue, enter the Start Remote Writer (STRRMTWTR) command:

  1. On the iSeries command line, type STRRMTWTR and press F4 (prompt).
  2. Specify the name of your remote print queue in the Output queue field.

Now you should be ready to print from iSeries to a NetWare printer. iSeries sends spooled files to the remote printer queue on the NetWare network.

The NetWare server receives the files in a print queue. For information on how to print jobs from NetWare print queues, refer to Novell product documentation for NetWare Link outside the Information Center.
