I'm not sure what is different here:

I already have some HP Printers attached to the network with HP Print servers at one of our plants. I have created Remote Output Queues related to these printers and can print barcodes from RPG programs.

Now, I have a situation where I have some HP printers at other plants which are directly attached to a PC via LPT1 connections. Is there a trick which I must now do - creating a second printer file to point to those direct attached HP printers, so that I can print barcodes on them as well?

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Don C.
