Steve,
It is generally defined in the printer documentation, often I
don't have the documentation and I generally call the support line and
ask them what the name of the print queue is, I have never had them not
know what I was talking about.

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?
