Err... I don't remember when we set ours up, whether it was on V3R2 or
whether it was after that...  I don't remember if the support for PJL was
available in V3R2.   I'm pretty sure that LPR/LPD was available when you
configure the printer as a "remote output queue" but I find that method to
be cumbersome.

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but there's some V3R2
stuff here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/v3r2eng.htm

There's an old list of PTFs for TCP printer support here:

And there's a document that describes PJL (the protocol used for
communicating with a JetDirect card over TCP/IP) here:

Hope that helps...
