One problem here. We are talking about 40 printers now and over a hundred by
the end of the year.

I haven't used remote outqs in so long that I can't recall all the
restrictions anymore.  Try a *DEVD instead.  If that doesn't cut it, create
a WSCST (workstation customisation object) that matches your printer.  I
think the normal procedure is to retrieve source from an existing printer
definition that's close to yours, and modify it.  You'll need to know the
command language for the printer in question.  The archives have examples of
these objects, and I'm fairly certain Bryan Dietz has posted links to the
IBM 'printer web site' several times over the years.  Here's one:
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/$searchform?Open&view=wall  Try
searching for your printer type, WSCST, CRTDEVPRT or anything else you could
think of for *LAN printing.  There's also an example in the FAQ for
producing bar codes.
