Thank you for your response. One issue I have is that I cannot touch the AS400 other than to tell ot what IP the "printer" is at. So there's no installing, setup, or file location instruction options on the source machine. Setting this up via standard network printer setup would require me to be able to tell the source machine the name of the printer attached to the destination PC. But again, I cannot tell the AS400 anything other than the printer IP. The destination PC will be a designated PC for this process. No printer will actually be attached. Thinking out loud is how we get things done.

I have been on hiatus from scripting for 2 years. I have recently been contracted by my former employer to help out with a couple of time sensitive projects. I am trying to write a script that needs a piece I have never dealt with before. Do to the time crunch; Im looking for some help. I need to tell an AS400 to send a print job to a computer. The AS400 needs to think that it is sending to a printer. I need the PC to have a script running that listens for incoming print jobs and then executes other processes on the incoming file. I cant get my mind around the listening piece. I am looking for a script that will listen for incoming print jobs and then do something with the incoming file. The something is in the rests of my script.
