Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
4. Configure the printer in PSF/MVS
Follow these steps to configure the printer in PSF:
1.Locate the PSF startup procedure in the JES3 or JES2 startup JCL procedure. This is normally kept in SYS1.PROCLIB, although your system may use a different library.
The libraries specified by the //PROC00 DD statement normally contains startup procedures for PSF subsystems. The name of the procedure is specified in the initialization dataset (FSS statement PROC parameter in JES2; the FSSDEF statement PNAME parameter in JES3. See the appropriate section in this appendix for clarification).
2.Add a PRINTDEV statement to define the printer in PSF. (See the example below for the general format or the Print Services Facility for OS/390 Customization for more information.)
The table below contains descriptions of the PSF parameters which need to be set for the printer.
