On the NetPort there is a button that can be pressed which prints the configuration data. On the Jet Direct, you can use TELNET to connect to the Jet Direct to see the setup information. Use the command TELNET 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' where xxx.. is your IP address which is set in the Jet Direct. Our new Printronix P5009 with an ethernet card can be connected to using TELNET also. It, however, acts like a Unix machine. You sign on using a userid and password, then you are able to access device information. The queues for this printer are something like d1_prn, d2_prn, d3_prn, and d4_prn. One of these, usually the first one, must be specified in the RMTPRTQ parameter of the CRTOUTQ command, if on V3R2. >I knew you had to setup the queue relationship, its also done for >JetDirect and I guess I knew you could create multiple queues for >the same IP address.

The NetPort information I've seen, a note from a support page, mentions using COM1_PASSTHRU for the RMTPRTQ parameter of the CRTOUTQ command. Apparently, the NetPort knows about this parameter although it hasn't worked for me yet.
