Starting the Printer Writer

The printer writer for a remote output queue is started using the
STRRMTPRT command.
Proceed as follows:
1. Enter the following command at the system console:
Syntax: STRRMTPRT <name of the output queue>
Example: STRRMTPRT MY_DEVICE
If the printer writer has already been started you will receive a
message.
Alternatively, you can give details about message queues (MSGQ)
and restrictions of form types (FORMTYPE).
There may be various reasons that a print job cannot be printed.
Problem
The remote printer
writer is not started.
The output queue is held.
The spool files are not released.
AS/400 - Printing via a Remote Output Queue
Solution
Start the remote printer writer using the
STRRMTWTR command <name of the output
queue>.
Notice: Printer writers for remote output queues
cannot be displayed using the WRKWTR command.
View all output queues using the OS/400 command
WRKOUTQ *ALL.
The status of the output queue should be RLS
(released). If the status is HDL (held), release the
output queue by entering 6.
View the contents of the output queue using the
WRKOUTQ command <name of the output queue>.
If the status of the first spool file to be printed is HDL
(held), release the file by chosing 6. The status will
change from *RLS to SND (send).
Once the file is printed it will be deleted from the list
or will change to the status SAV (save).
