Ed,
Take a look at XMITIP from Lionel Dyke at http://wwww.lbdsoftware.com/
It's free and easy to set up.

Subject: Light Weight Printing from Development z/OS 1.8 to HP Laser Jets

Hi all and Happy New Year.

I'd like to setup a facility whereby I can print directly from JES2 to an HP
Laser Jet type printer without dedicating a printer, buying a printer, or
spending time I don't have in INFOPRINT jail. What do you do for z/OS
printing in a development context?

The requirement is to be able to print small listings locally and
conveniently. The difference between today, where we FTP the listing to a PC
and print, and tomorrow, is that I want the carriage control characters to
be honored. I define small as less than 5000 lines per report and maybe 5
reports per day.

I've spent several lovely hours cruising the INFOPRINT website and getting
reacquainted with PSF, AFP, and their cousins. Most of this technology
qualifies as gross overkill for my needs. I did not see anything directly on
point that could be considered lightweight.

Is there an easy way to tell Jes2 about a TCPIP connected printer and to
have the printer respond to basic CC commands? No fancy forms or checks to
be printed, just short reports.

Thanks for your ideas, comments, and grand one liners.
Edward Long
