Configuring virtual printers

You can use IBM® Navigator for i to create a virtual printer device description.

  1. Using IBM Navigator for i, expand Basic Operations > All Tasks > Printers > Virtual Printers.
  2. Click Create Virtual Printer.
  3. Specify the properties of the virtual printer and click the create button to create your virtual printer.
