    7. In the Job name field of the Printer output - Include screen, note the current value (usually All).
    8. Replace the current value in the Job name field with the job number noted earlier, PSOBJOWNS and PSEGETLOGS. For example, 015395/PSOBJOWNS/PSEGETLOGS
    9. Click OK.
    10. Drag and drop all spooled files for PSEGETLOGS to your desktop.
    11. Press F11 and replace the job identifier with the default value noted earlier.
    12. Repeat steps a through k for each required job by replacing PSEGETLOGS with PSEAGENT, PSEAGENTD, or PSEREPORT.
