You have to define the printers to your second level VM system. My guess is that you also had to define them on the first level system. Look at the SYSTEM CONFIG on the first level to see if you have a RDEVICE similar to:
RDEVICE 00E TYPE IMPACT_PRINTER, CLASSES S, FOLDUP YES, IMAGE_LIB IMAG3262 RDEVICE 00F TYPE IMPACT_PRINTER, CLASSES A RDEVICE 01E TYPE IMPACT_PRINTER, CLASSES F, FOLDUP YES, IMAGE_LIB IMAG4248 And then copy it to the second level SYSTEM CONFIG.
