That's not a hostname, it's an e-mail address.  Perhaps it should be
"ibm.myoffice.com"?

The outputcommand is probably also wrong.  I'm assuming that you're a
Windows user?  If so, it should be something like:
     outputcommand = printer:HP Color LaserJet 5

and that string "HP COlor LaserJet 5" must match EXACTLY what your system
lists the printer name as.  If not, it won't work.   Alternately, just
make the printer the "default" printer, and leave off the outputcommand
statement altogether.

If you're a FreeBSD/Linux/Unix/etc user, then outputcommand should be the
actual programs that you want to run.  For example:
    outputcommand = scs2ascii | lpr -Plj5

Possibly?  It depends on how your system is configured.   In my case, I've
told my AS/400 to automatically create virtual devices, so I don't have to
set them up manually.  You do that by setting the QAUTOVRT system value to
'1'.

If for some odd reason you're not allowed to have the system auto-config
the devices, you'll have to do it manually.  I haven't had to do that
myself, so I can't give you any specifics, you'll have to figure it out.

I strongly recommend using the auto-create method.
