For 5250 connections

To define print support for 5250 connections, in the editor for your 5250 default connection, click the Printing tab and select the Enable print support check box. Provide a URL for the System i® Access for Web Printer Output window. The default URL is http://hostname/webaccess/iWASpool, where hostname is the name of the 5250 server. Print support for 5250 servers requires that System i Access for Web is installed on the 5250 host containing the print spool. All 5250 print functionality is provided by the System i Access for Web Printer Output servlet on the target 5250 host.

You do not need to perform any additional configuration. When a user of the ZIETrans application issues a command to print files, System i Access for Web converts the host print jobs into PDF format and facilitates the download to the user. The user can click View Print Jobs on the application keypad to display the System i Access for Web Printer Output window. In this window, the user can select the following print options:
  1. PDF device type
  2. Paper size
  3. Destination
Refer to your System i Access for Web documentation for more information about these print options.
