5. Define the printer to PSF with a PRINTDEV statement,
including the IP address. See "Define the Printer to PSF" on
page 92.
This section does not provide all the information you need to install
and configure TCP/IP on your z/OS system. For more information
on installing TCP/IP, refer to TCP/IP for z/OS: Customization and
Administration Guide.
The routing of information is determined on the basis of the IP
address, and is performed by IP gateways. After the network is
configured correctly, the z/OS host appears to be communicating
directly with the TCP/IP-attached printer.
Define the Communications Control Unit to z/OS
If you have not already done so, define the communications control
unit for the z/OS host, such as the 3172 or the 3745 control unit, to
z/OS. Use either an z/OS configuration program (MVSCP) or a
hardware configuration definition (HCD), depending on the version
of your z/OS system:
•
When using a version earlier than z/OS 4.1.0, use an MVSCP.
•
When using a version of z/OS 4.1.0 or later, use an HCD or an
MVSCP.
For more information about using these methods, refer to:

Modify the TCP/IP Profile in z/OS
The TCP/IP profile contains system configuration statements used
to initialize the TCP/IP address space. Of those statements, the
following are subject to special considerations when you are
printing from PSF on TCP/IP-attached printers. Samples of these
statements are printed in bold in the example shown in Figure 24.
