3270 Host Printing

This feature is available to 3270 host sessions. You can create one or more 3287 printer sessions and associate them with the current 3270 terminal session. Each printer session is bound to a Logical Unit (LU) on the host system and any subsequent print jobs sent to that LU will be directed to the Reflection ZFE web client.

The 3287 session builds a PDF file that contains the file to print and sends it to the Reflection ZFE web client. After receiving the file, the Reflection ZFE web client downloads the file following your browser’s configured download options. Different browsers provide different options for handling downloaded files. When the PDF file is received, you can direct it to any printer that you have access to.

NOTE:An administrator can provide end users with the ability to print by setting the Host Printing User Preferences option.
