CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PRTXX)
          DEVCLS(*LAN)
          TYPE(*IPDS)
          MODEL(0)
          LANATTACH(*IP)
          AFP(*YES)
          PORT(9100)
          FONT(11)
          FORMFEED(*CONT)
          RMTLOCNAME('1.2.3.4')

Replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP Adress. Maybe use Port 5001 if 9100 does
not work. If you want, you can add a *PSFCFG object for proper retries
and everything.

You don't need to use any PC programs.
