RMTLOCNAME is on a device description, not an output queue,
That is why it is not showing up in QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_INFO.
Is there a system catalog for device descriptions?

Reading that post was basically stating:
1 - You can do it all by hand, with about as much fun as inserting bamboo splinters under your fingernails.
2 - You can go read up on how to do it with APIs
3 - You can search the internet for someone else who has written something for this.
4 - You can submit a RFE.
Now I suggest you have the case moved over to database and ask them why it's not returning all desired entries.

I opened a case with IBM for this.
Below is their response.
They did not answer why QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_INFO is not working in regards to REMOTE_PRINTER_QUEUE and REMOTE_SYSTEM_NAME are returning blank for all printers.
Please use the following document for information about getting the list of IP addresses from LAN printer device descriptions or remote output queues:

You're looking at remote_system_name and not remote_printer_queue, right?
They really muffed up the 7.4 documentation.
Go to:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzajq/rzajqviewoutqinfo.htm
and pull down 7.4 from "Change version or product" and watch the columns disappear...
But basically this should be functional at 7.3. So, yes, open a case. I don't have any LPARs still running 7.3.

All blank at V7R3.
Should I open case on this?

select output_queue_name, writer_type, remote_system_name from qsys2.output_queue_info order by writer_type, remote_system_name ; Works for me at 7.4 Now, there are several with a blank writer_type. This indicates that the writer is not started. However even a few with the blank writer type contain a remote_system_name. I found one with an IP address; I deleted it.
We have many output queues which never have a writer on it. For example our main default output queue, BPCSOUTQ, never has a writer associated with it. If the user really wants to kill a tree they have to move it to another output queue.

Both REMOTE_PRINTER_QUEUE and REMOTE_SYSTEM_NAME are returning blank for all printers.
RMTLOCNAME is not included in QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_INFO
Not giving me what I need.
Is there another option?

Some remote location names/ips are changing.
