Hi,
I am attempting to print from an AS/400 to a remote printer at my home. I am tn5250 to connect via tcp and lp5250d to set up the printer/outq on the AS/400. The setup works fine - I can create the queue and when I direct a spool file to that queue it is pushed to my windows spool queue but it never prints. It eventually just disappears from the queue. I am trying to print to an HP Officejet 8610 Pro and I have tried various and sundry values for the MFRTYPMDL parm, but at this point I have kind of hit a brick wall. Does anyone have any ideas on what value to use for the mfrtypmdl parm? Below is my command string for my last attempt.

Thank you!

lp5250d env.DEVNAME=TEST13 env.IBMMFRTYPMDL='*HP5' pub400.com
