When moving a spool file the OS asks for a printer

Problem:

When moving a spool file to another queue, the AS/400 OS asks for a printer

Answer:

This is caused when moving a spool file to the REMOTE OUTQ and a printer is being selected instead of a Queue. When moving the spool file do a 2 for change then a F4 to prompt then move the spool file to a queue not to a printer.
