All -

Someone today asked me a question today about Remote Outq setup on the System i 
that I'm not sure how to answer.

Long ago I did some research on System i TCP/IP printer setup, in particular 
setting up remote output queues on the System i, but in the end I just called a 
friend who had done it before and he told me what to do...

One requirement of creating remote output queues that I don't understand fully 
(yet) is the "Remote printer queue" (RMTPRTQ) name that must be specified.  On 
the printers here at work, they are mostly HP 4xxx LAN-attached laser printers, 
and in the System i Outq description (using WRKOUTQD) the remote printer queue 
name is specified as 'PR1'.

When I browse to the web interface for any of these printers on the LAN, I 
don't see the queue name PR1 defined under the LPD queue names on the printer 
itself.  Is this where I should be looking?

So my real question is this - 
If I were setting up a remote outq description for an HP 4350 laser printer 
from scratch, how would I know that I should use PR1 as the remote printer 
queue name?  Is this information typically documented in the printer manual?  

Regards,
Steve
