Re: Remote OUTQ vs SNA vs CRTDEVPRT

Your best bet is to go to www.iseries.ibm.com/support and put ascii print in 
the search box and press enter. You will get a list, at least, of entries for 
various ascii printers. If you are connected with JetDirect there will be 
something there for HP JetDirect. Don't know about the I-O Print Box RPC.

Basically you need to know the name of the queue used on any of the network 
printers. Remember to put apostrophes around the queue names if they are in 
mixed or lower case - e.g., if you do not say 'raw' on the remote queue 
parameter it'll be sent as RAW and fail. And you need the correct port numbers 
for remote outqs. You might, if using a device, see whether the print servers 
can handle SNMP, it's often easier. Try to avoid remote outqs, as you lose lots 
of the functionality of print devices.
