It's not more difficult, but it does take time to learn.  You are going
to want to use workstation customization objects (WSCST) for your remote
printers to control things such as font, CPI, LPI, etc.

I have two examples of WSCST objects on my webpage if you want to take a
look.  They are for an HP5si.  One allows regular 8.5x11 printouts
landscape and the other prints them on 11x17 paper.

        Subject:        TCP/IP Printing and Page Parameters


        Now that I've figured out how to get output to a TCP/IP 
        attached printer, how are page parameters controlled?

        If I use an externally described printer file, lines per page,
        characters per inch, overflow line number, etc. are defined
        in the printer file.  Will these parameters now need to be
        output for the particular printer?  Do I need to make sure
        that my HEADER record in the printer file has the appropriate
        commands for the particular printer? We're using a Printronix
        P5009 with a build in Ethernet card.

        If I do need to create commands, this would mean that output
        going to an IBM 5225 could not be sent to a TCP/IP attached
        printer unless changes to the output specs/printer file were
        made, correct?

        It doesn't seem like many people are doing this type of thing.
        Maybe it's because it's more difficult than using IPDS.

        TIA
