How to setup remote AS/400 OUTQ

Question:

I have installed RPM Remote Print Manager®, but now I do not know how to setup my AS/400 to print to it. Do you have steps for setting up a remote OUTQ in the AS/400?

Answer:

1. From the AS/400 command line, issue the command CRTOUTQ.
2. The first parameter is Output queue. This is the name of the local queue on your AS/400.
3. The Library parameter should be QUSRSYS.
4. The Remote system is the host name of your PC, AS/400 host table entry. We recommend that you use the fully qualified name in both the host table and in this file and screen or you can use *INTNETADR and enter the IP address in the IP Address key later on.
5. The Remote printer queue is the name of a queue defined on your PC in RPM.
