Eric.
        I don't have any direct experience in setting up remote outqs for 
AS/400 
to AS/400 communications but I found the following.  There is more 
information in the OS/400 Printer Device Programming Manual.  HTH.


2.3.5.1 Source System Activity - Creating the Remote Output Queue

The result of using this example would be spooled output files sent to 
output queue OUTQRMT on the target system
(SYSNMDLC).

Type CRTOUTQ and prompt (F4). The following screen appears. Type in the 
values shown and press the Enter key. The
remote output queue RMTOUTQ is created. The other parameter values are 
needed to ensure connection and delivery to the
designated system.

     The printer is actually attached to 5394 as remote printer from
     Dallas. I need an outq locally(waco) to communicate to the AS400 in
     Dallas, which drives the printer in wherever(chicago?).

     Since I have to use TCP/IP to talk to Dallas (going over frame
     relay), I'm not sure how to pass spooled output from waco to
     dallas, targeting the remote printer. LPD? (What I know about TCPIP
     amounts to the proverbial "hill o' beans")

     Preferably, I'd just like to create splf in waco, outq redirects to
     dallas, then prints at remote site. Am I hopelessly lost here?

Specify the IP address of the interface to your printer (Jet Direct???) in
the configuration of your remote outq.  Anything that goes in that queue
goes to that printer.  Does that help or I have missed the jist of this
message entirely?

OK folks, I'm feeling pretty dumb right now..... We're setting up access to 
our
production system to a remote office. Heres the layout:

DSP/PRT(5394somewhere) <-(SNA)-> AS400(dallas) <-(TCP/IP via FR)->
AS400(waco)

As I understand it, we'll create a rmt outq in Waco, same name outq in
Dallas
that drives a remote printer at wherever. Is that right? Somehow, I've
developed
a mental block on the whole TCPIP printer thing. Anything I need to know?
We'll be using telnet to pasthru from Dallas to Waco for interactive
access.
