Interesting, this was new to me.  Here's a link for more info:

Note that you're still using RMTOUTQs and subject to the (most of the
original) limitations of them.  Biggest problem with RMTOUTQs in my opinion
is the fact that feedback to the iSeries is non-existent.  If you want to
know when a printer jams or runs out of paper, you need to use something
other than RMTOUTQs.
