Re: TCPIP printing (Yet again!)

     



        The RMTPRTQ is the name of the printer or printer queue as defined on 
the host system where you're sending the output.  If say, you were sending to 
another AS/400, the RMTPRTQ might be 'PRT01'.  However, it's been my experience 
that you can put anything you want in that field for a stand-alone jet direct 
card.  It doesn't seem to care.
        As to why the printing isn't working, we need a little more info.  What 
are your symptoms?

I'm trying to print to an HP5 printer using TCPIP over an ethernet   
network. This printer does *not* hang off of a Novell server. It is   
standing by itself, but it does have a JetDirect card.
     
I have created a host entry name in the host entry table for the printer.
     
I have created an outq with what I think are the correct options, however   
I'm confused on the RMTPRTQ parameter. What should this be set to? I then   
use strrmtwtr on the outq. It doesn't appear to work. I think I'm still   
not creating the outq correctly.
     
When people post to this list on this subject, it is never clear if there   
is a unix or novell system that hosts the printer. In my case I want to   
go direct to the HP printer via the network.
     
Any help is greatly appreciated.
     
Is there a FAQ for this list?
