How could I connect PC to AS400 so that it could print JDE report. I am using Client Access.
 
Create a C/A print session on the PC. You create it much like a display session, just look for the check box on the config screen that say "Printer" (instead of Display). You specify the Output Queue name in the Workstation ID field. Once you "start" the session, it will create the Outq on the 400 and start the writer as well. Send stuff from JDE to this outq just like any other and out it pops on your local printer.

The key is the printer session MUST be running for things to work. If it isn't running, stuff just goes in the Outq on the 400 and sits there until you fire up the printer session. Also, I'm assuming you are on C/A version V3R2 or higher. I don't think print sessions were available until at least version V3R2...
