Re: Java print to remote outq?

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Normally, when you create a printer DEVD, the system creates an OUTQ of the
same name.

If the OUTQ already exists, (IIRC) you'll get a warning message.

See the section, "*Configuring a Dummy Device Description to Use with a
Remote Output Queue"*
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1010090


Note however, that a remote outq is the least prefered method of printing..
