Rarely do we need a device description.
First we add the printer to the TCP/IP host table.
Then we use the same name in this command where &OUTQ is the name defined in the TCP/IP Host table.
CRTOUTQ OUTQ(&OUTQLIB/&OUTQ)
RMTSYS(&OUTQ)
??RMTPRTQ(&OUTQ)
AUTOSTRWTR(1)
CNNTYPE(*IP)
DESTTYPE(*OTHER)
TRANSFORM(*YES)
??MFRTYPMDL(&TYPMDL)
DESTOPT(‘XAIX’)
SEPPAGE(*NO)
??TEXT(&TEXT)
DSPDTA(*YES)
JOBSEP(00)
/* DestOpt(‘XAIX’) allows printing of multiple copies. */

use this link to verify what type of printer support you can offer for the device in question.

If you don’t have an IP for the printer and it’s directly attached to a PC then you’ll either need to setup a remote queue (if the PC has a static IP) or you can set up a virtual printer session using client access installed on the PC that’s connected to the printer.

Here’s a link to the Holy grail of AS400 printing.
