Re: TCPIP printing (Yet again!)

["Mike Kenney" <kenney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "RMTPRTQ" parameter refers to your Print queue name on the remote 
system. Depending on your LPD software it may or may not be required. 
We have implemented several local printers using NIPrint. As a rule 
we just use the same queue name as that of the AS400.
