I forgot to say that im not a mainframe guy. So some of the things
written in this thread are difficult to understand for me.
As a summary, we will use install Z/linux on Z/VM (not LPAR) and we have
2 printers, IBM 4248 and IBM 3230.
So which method can i use in this thread?
Thanks all of you and regards.

SLES has the 'vmur' (VM unit record) device driver. Using the vmur command
your linux guest can write files to the VM line printer same as any CMS guest
could.
The vmur print command also has options to address your print file to an RSCS
printer/node.
See man vmur. I haven't used it myself, I find vmur on SLES 10 and 11.
punch or print
Write file to punch or printer queue
Synopsis:
punch|print [-fr] [-d dev_node] [-t | -b sep.pad] [-u user] [-n node]
[-N name.type] [file]
Minimum abbreviation: pun/pr
Use punch/print when you want to write a file to the VM punch or
printer queue. Specify the --rdr option if you want the file to
be transferred to the VM reader queue.
