If possible it is recommended to connect your printers to the IBM directly via the LAN either via a printer device or a remote writer. An alternative e.g. for USB connected printers is to define a 5250 printer session instead. The connection methods are compared here.
You define a 5250 printer session like a 5250 display session via Communication and Configure in iSeries Access:

The final thing missing is a reference to a locally installed printer:
Select one of the locally installed printers and click OK:
