to ease your migration (SNA-Print to IP-Printers or IP-Printservers) you should use z/OS Infoprint Server (or OS/390 Infoprint Server). Using this aproach there is no need to change any application or transaction for a new (non-SNA) printer infrastructure - means use your IP-Printers for any host-generated (Line-Print, SNA-SCS, AFP ...) output.

One thing to check is if these printers also support LPR. If they do, than the project would involve changing the SNA definitions to LPR definitions. That might seem pretty simplistic and I'm sure there would be more challenges (report formatting, spacing, etc), but in a nutshell that's what I've done in the past.

Our current NT SNA print servers are entering their end-of-life cycle. These servers handle our current IMS/CICS SNA requirements out to the field. If anyone has successfully done this port/migration I'd appreciate hearing from them concerning the challenges of doing so. Thanks in advance.
