Re: TCPIP printing (Yet again!)

["Guy Murphy"<gmurphy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

        The RMTPRTQ is the name of the printer or printer queue as defined on 
the host system where you're sending the output.  If say, you were sending to 
another AS/400, the RMTPRTQ might be 'PRT01'.  However, it's been my experience 
that you can put anything you want in that field for a stand-alone jet direct 
card.  It doesn't seem to care.
        As to why the printing isn't working, we need a little more info.  What 
are your symptoms?

I'm trying to print to an HP5 printer using TCPIP over an ethernet   
network. This printer does *not* hang off of a Novell server. It is   
standing by itself, but it does have a JetDirect card.
     
I have created a host entry name in the host entry table for the printer.
     
I have created an outq with what I think are the correct options, however   
I'm confused on the RMTPRTQ parameter. What should this be set to? I then   
use strrmtwtr on the outq. It doesn't appear to work. I think I'm still   
not creating the outq correctly.
     
When people post to this list on this subject, it is never clear if there   
is a unix or novell system that hosts the printer. In my case I want to   
go direct to the HP printer via the network.
     
Any help is greatly appreciated.
     
Is there a FAQ for this list?
