OVRPRTF FILE(SHPADVPT ) FRONTOVL(DMSPRDOBJ/SHPADV) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS)
HOLD(*NO ) SECURE(*YES) COPIES(2) OUTQ(PTSHPADV1 )

The override print file is sending the spool file to the PTSHPADV1 out queue and not to the designated printer out queue. If the program in question is prompting the user for a printer to use then you should use the field defined for the printer (assuming the printer name and the associated outq name are the same) for the override instead of PTSHPADV1.
