Copying a printer definition

To add a new printer definition, you can copy an existing definition and modify fields in the definition as necessary. To make sure that the correct fields are displayed on the ISPF panels, be sure to copy the same type of printer definition (IP PrintWay™, PSF, or General) as the one you want to add. If the printer definition is an IP PrintWay printer definition, also be sure to copy a printer definition that uses the same protocol (LPR, direct sockets, IPP, VTAM®, or email) as the one you want to add.

When you copy a printer definition, you can change any field. However, you must change the Printer Name field.

To copy a printer definition:

1. List the printer definition you want to copy, as described in Listing printer definitions.

2. On the Printer Definition List panel, type C in the A column in front of the printer definition you want to copy and press Enter.

3. On the Printer Definition panel:
   1. Change the Printer Name field and any other field. To validate the fields, press Enter.
   2. To save the new printer definition, but maintain the panel on the screen, type SAVE on the command line and press Enter. You can now add additional printer definitions. To save the new definition and return to the Printer Definition List panel, press the END function key.
      Tip:

      Type SAVE on the command line to easily add more than one printer definition of the same type.
   3. To save the new definition and exit the panel, press the END function key.
