Once the print plan has been created, Control-D searches for a "free" printer in order to print the bundle. You specify potential printers using the PRINTER field of the printing mission parameters.

The printer names specified in this parameter must be defined in the PRINTER parameter in member CTDPARM in the IOA PARM library. For details, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing. Using this parameter, you specify the default values for each printer, such as a destination code, relative printer speed, printer disposition (OPEN or CLOSED), and default chunk size.
Note that you should only define the mainframe printers (not remote printers) in this member.
If you do not specify any printer name in the printing mission parameters, Control-D will select (from the list of defined printers) the fastest printer (determined by the Relative Printing Speed parameter) that is OPEN (set by the default Printer Disposition parameter or overridden by an operator command) and currently available to Control-D (that is, not in use). We recommend that you define your printers as OPEN during the installation process. This will save you from specifying operator commands to Control-D to logically open and close printers when you want to print.
