About Host Print Services
Host Print enables SNA LAN Gateway to provide print queue services to client
workstations on the LAN. It allows client print jobs to be directed to any shared
print queue on the network. It is an optional service.
In the past, LAN users were required to run a printer emulation program from
their workstations to output jobs to printers. With Host Print, the printer
emulation function is transferred from the client workstation to the SNA LAN
Gateway. The printer may be connected directly to the gateway, or may be
attached as a LAN or workgroup printer. This reduces LAN traffic and
improves printing efficiency, speed, and reliability.
Host Print uses the SNA Resource Manager module to allocate printer LU
sessions. For details about defining LUs, refer to Chapter Three, “SNA
Resource Manager.”
