As with many AS/400 commands, there are shortcuts to get there faster. Instead of using the ‘WRKOUTQ’ command by itself, then choosing the correct queue and using the ‘5’ option, you can specify which queue you want to work with at the beginning. Just enter the command ‘WRKOUTQ DP6010’ and hit . Now you will get directly to the ‘Work with output queue’ just for the queue you wanted. Our example above has 3 files ‘queued’ for printing and their status is ‘RDY’, yet another TLA, it of course stands for ‘Ready to print’. On the Opt field, we can enter ‘2’ to change the attributes for that particular file or we could enter a ‘6’ to release it for printing. If it hasn’t printed already, enter a ‘6’ and hit . Congratulations! You have just successfully printed from the AS/400! A note about PTF’s. A Program Temporary Fix is a patch file provided by IBM for either updating or enhancing the operating system. The requirement for printing to the DP-35/45/6010 series will be included in version V5R3 of the OS400 operating system. Support for printing to these machines on V5R1 and V5R2 is provided via PTF. These can be obtained from IBM for supported installations of OS400. The required PTF’s are as follows: OS 400 Version New WCO (Workstation Customization Object) New MFRTYPDMDL’s (Manufacturer Type and Models) V5R1 SI08528, SI11177 SI11179 V5R2 SI08548, SI11246 SI11270 These PTF’s can be obtained from IBM through their web-site at: Quick Setup Guide Remote Output Queue setup Command CRTOUTQ Output queue Enter desired name (e.g. DP6010, etc.) Remote system *INTNETADR Remote printer queue ‘lpr’ Writers to autostart 1 Connection type *IP Destination type *OTHER Host print transform *YES Manufacturer type and model *PANASONIC6010 (or PANASONIC2310 or PANASONIC4520) Internet address Enter unit’s IP Address within single quotes (e.g. ‘192.168.0.60’) Text description Enter a brief description of the queue or printer Notes: AS/400® is a registered trademark of IBM Corporation WORKiO® is a registered trademark of Matsushita Electric Industrial, Co.
