  PRINT XPSF6000                                                                
                                                                                
I have a customer with a host MVS, him need use a psf/6000 as print             
server connected to MVS through parallel channel, the questions is              
Which are the elements of hardware and software necesary to print data          
from MVS to PSF/6000 ?                                                          
Best Regards.                                                                   
A:                                                                              
If you have PSF/MVS then the best product to use is the MVS/DOWNLOAD            
component of PSF/MVS.  If you do not have PSF/MVS and it is line data           
then you could use the IP PrintWay component of the OS/390 Print Server        
if you have OS/390 V2R5 or if on MVS then IP PrintWay independent               
feature of PSF/MVS which does not require a base license of PSF/MVS.            
With the latter solution (IP PrintWay) you would use the TCP/IP LPR             
method to send the print data to an AIX queue to be picked up by                
PSF/AIX.                                                                        
Regarding hardware... As long as the channel connection supports TCP/IP         
then both methods will work.  If not you will either have to establish          
a LAN connection or figure out another way to get the data across a             
link such as SNA NJE and the associated software.  That information             
would have to come from the AIX folks.  Hope this answers your questions
