RE: where is the host table?

Tim:

Also, keep in mind that you probably won't find these entries in your system's 
host table anyway, not unless someone has manually entered them and kept them 
maintained. AFAIK, they won't be added automatically.

I believe the remote host name or IP address is stored with the *outq 
description or printer device description. In order to find it, you need to 
already know the *outq or device name or you need to inspect each one.
