When you print data on the AS/400 the printer output is
written to a printer spool file. Typically, this is the default
printer specified in your user profile.
To see your printer output, use the command Work with Spool File:
WRKSPLF
By using the command this way you are actually specifying:
WRKSPLF SELECT(*CURRENT)
You can look at another user's spool file (if you have authority) by using:
WRKSPLF USERXXX
The WRKSPLF command shows a list of all spool files in your queue. It will
look like:
Work with All Spooled Files
Type options, press Enter.
1=Send 2=Change 3=Hold 4=Delete 5=Display 6=Release
8=Attributes 9=Work with printing status

If the list is too big for one page, use the PAGE DOWN key to scroll down.
