Hello,
What do you want to use for "printing any files"?
There are many, many utilities that might do this in one way or another.
Suggest you post an example of what you want as output and what kind of data you want to use as input. Depending on the data and what you want to "print", different tools might be used.
Printing is usually the same for local and remote printers. . . |

Hello,
Suggest you use something like the following for the most simple example:
| Code: |
//PRINTIT EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//*
//* PRINT PGM
//*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=bims.ipo.pli(aaa),DISP=SHR
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//* PGM PRINT OUTPUT
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=* |

That is site sprcific information, and as you may have guessed, we are not psychic. (Well, maybe on Thursday  ).
You will need to speak with someone at your site to find out the site specific details and then substitute those details into the code that Dick has given you. |

please review, get trained on zOS things...
printing is a two stage process
1) the program produces the report/callitanythingYouwant
2) JES2/3 takes care of physically print the thing
directly for some printers, using some additional product for others,
all depends on the printer type and the way the printer is connected ( physically and logically ) to the MF |

SUSOUT is typically how one prints to a "local" printer. Unless you do not mean the accepted definition of a mainframe local printer. . .
If you by chance mean the printer available to your Windows environment (which you did not mention), it is easiest to download the source and print it using any of the Win-based tools. . . |
