Quickly change printer

This article isn't finished yet or needs to be revised. Please keep in mind that thus it may be incomplete.

Reason: Explain how the OS chains special values until a final printer device is known.

Sometimes it's desirable to quickly change the default printer to another one.

This can be achieved by changing the current job:

CHGJOB PRTDEV(PDFWRITER)

and back:

CHGJOB PRTDEV(*USRPRF)

Note: Since the job is changed, and not the job description, the changed printer definition will reset itself after signoff.
