RE: Trying to Remote Print from AS400 ( v5r1) to a Xerox DC265

Neat stuff, Jim. What's this Internet thing?

In the original remote outq setup, the remote queue looked like it was LP 
(uppercase). It looks, from the Xerox doc, that it needs to be 'lp' 
(lowercase, hence the apostrophes are required). This is all it takes for 
this not to work.
