RE: Configuring Epson LQ1170 for AS400

This will work, with one possible change, only if the _printer_ has the IP
address. If it's your PC, you need to install an LPD - a print server
component. If you have NT or higher, these may be installable from their
CD. If not, you need a 3rd party LPD server.

But do you have Client Access? Have you paid for PC5250 licenses? Then you
can set up a printer emulation session. This is the easiest way but does
require a license (c.$300/seat - is it less than that now?)

If you are going straight to the printer, the remote print queue parameter
might need to be lowercase, as in

RMTPRTQ('raw')

Not definitely -- _maybe_!

If you use an LPD server, YOU define the printer queue. Be sure, if you
create it lowercase in the server, that you put apostrophes around it on
the 400.
