Network Printer with 2 OUTQ?

[Silenus paparias]

Hello.

I have a network printer(LAN) which servers 1 outq e.q. OUTQ1

Its possible to tell this printers to servers also the OUTQ2 together
with OUTQ1?

thanks.

Each outq is defined to a printer. You can have multiple outq's servicing a single IP Printer.

Likewise, the printer defined in 1 as400 can also be defined on another as/400 ans/or windows network or Linux/unix network.

Example, i have one printer set up on 2 outq's on my dev iseries, production system, out windows network and as an IP printer on my PC.....

You can point as many AS400/iSeries/IBM i/??? output queues as you want
to a network-attached printer. Obviously, that printer is going to need
to have its own queuing capability to be able to handle multiple print
files coming to it.

Most modern IP printers will have this ability. Depending on how much memory there is onboard will determine how quickly the printer will receive and print jobs.

Read the manual for your printer. It should tell you how to view the
attributes of the printer including how much memory.

Note: Pay attention to the MFRTYPMDL as this will have unexpected results if the wrong model printer is set....

Text from the copy/past below
______________

Here are three ways to configure a remote outque to a LAN printer. The last option resolves the IP address using the actual host name from the DNS Server thereby removing hard-coded IP addresses regardless if the DNS Server IP address changes.

1. Create an outq with hard-coded IP address.

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/STUHP4) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR)RMTPRTQ('d1prn') AUTOSTRWTR(1)CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER)TRANSFORM(*NO) USRDTATFM(QGPL/TSPRWPR) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4)INTNETADR('100.101.109.2') DESTOPT('XAIX XAUTOQ') SEPPAGE(*NO) TEXT('Studio HP4 Laser')

2. Create an outq with host name from the AS400 host table that contains the hard-code IP address.

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/STUHP4) RMTSYS(STUHP4)RMTPRTQ('d1prn') AUTOSTRWTR(1)CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER)TRANSFORM(*NO) USRDTATFM(QGPL/TSPRWPR) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4)INTNETADR('100.101.109.2') DESTOPT('XAIX XAUTOQ') SEPPAGE(*NO) TEXT('Studio HP4 Laser')

In addition, use CFGTCP, Option 10 "Work with TCP/IP host table entries" to enter host name and hard-coded IP address. This option is useful if you need to override the DNS Server IP address.

3. Create an outq with the host name from the DNS Server. This way, the IP address is maintained in one place.

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/STUHP4) RMTSYS(RISTUHP4)RMTPRTQ('d1prn') AUTOSTRWTR(1)CNNTYPE(*IP)
DESTOPT('XAIX XAUTOQ')

What kind of printer are you using? Does it support IPDS/AFPDS?

Are you using a printer defined through CRTDEVD or a simple, primitive OUTQ
with an IP address?

But in terse terms, no you cannot tell a printer to fetch spool data from
two outqs. You may be able to create two printer writers that use the same
physical printer (assigned the same IP address).

But it would help to know what printer we are talking about and what kind of
print stream (SCS / IPDS / AFPDS, etc).
