If you're running IBM's http Server (maybe on a sandbox?), view mainframe datasets from your web browser (if the MVSDS service is enabled). You could then print locally.
It could be secure (basic SAF or LDAP) at the server level (UserId in the config) or just for the MVSDS service (via Protection in the config) or completely open to all within your firewall. An open/unsecured MVS for public datasets would bypass the the usual SAF id/password ftp requirements. (To be even more heretical, you could bookmark the url.) This should work for either local or network printers. The other replies have excellent suggestions regarding network attached printers. MVSDS would NOT be ideal for formatted/print files. I liked Gerry's ASA cc to MS word formatting in the prior post in this thread. Is there an ebcdic mime type that covers the ASA carriage control...SHARE requirement for the WebSphere folk next week? Along these lines, what about hfs files for MVSDS? (Though this functionality is easily gained via PASS with DirAccess. Using DD: should work, but is awkward.)
