Configuring Host Print Service
Configuring Host Print service involves the following steps:
Creating Link Services

Configuring Host Print Service
In addition, a print demonstration using a script is available. The following procedures will create and configure the print demonstration:
Configuring Host Print service for a 3270 connection
In SNA Manager, expand the server on which you want to add print services.
Right-click Print Service, point to New, and then click 3270 Session.
The Properties page for this session appears.
On the General tab, type a session name.
Click Printer, and then configure a printer.
Click the 3270 tab, choose an LU Name to use for this print session. If there are no LU names in the drop-down list, you will need to insert a printer LU on the 3270 connection to be used for this print session (To create a print LU, see the earlier procedure).
Configure other parameters as desired.
Click OK to add this print session.
In the console tree, right-click Print Service, and then click Save Configuration.
Right-click Print Service again, and then click Start.
The Host Print service is configured with startup set to Manual. To start the Host Print service at system startup, go to the Services icon of Control Panel. Select the service name. Click Startup. Change the service activation type from Manual (the default) to Automatic for this service.
SNA Manager will only lock the configuration file when you initiate a configuration change. If the lock is obtained, the status bar will flash 'CONFIG LOCK'. When you complete the change and save the configuration file, the lock will be released and the status bar will be cleared. The status bar will display 'OUT OF DATE' on other servers in the domain. To refresh the status on the 'OUT OF DATE' servers, SNA Manager must be closed and reopened.
