Kirk,

You can use remote out queues, or you can use *LAN devices, which offer 
more functionality (principally printing multiple copies, and printing a 
range of pages). What you can't do, or at least I don't know how, is print 
to a Novell print queue. You need to send output directly to the printer, 
which works fine for HP printers attached via Jet Direct cards. I really 
can't comment on anything else. You just point the AS400 at the IP address 
of the device and port 9100. It's relatively painless. The device will 
accept jobs from either the netware queue or the AS400. If it is busy when 
the AS400 tries to send a job, you will see a message that the device has 
refused the request, but it clears automatically when the device becomes 
available, so no intervention is required. Works fine.
