Tim,

Found several references to your experience with the Ricoh printers,
specifically these links:

Why did you change the port number on the printer, instead of just
specifying the one that the printer had in your device description? Will
changing the port on the Ricoh affect anything already printing to it? Our
Ricoh displays the base port number as 10000. Will everything work fine if
the CRTDEVPRT uses PORT(10001)?

I am confused about the discussion where you adjust the PORT parameter up by
1 from the port number defined on the printer:

I checked out the following link that was provided in one of those threads,
but didn't find any reference to adjusting the port number the way you did:

Also, are you aware of pros/cons to doing it this way as opposed to just
setting up a remote outq? I know we lose PAGERANGE() capability with the
remote outq; perhaps there are other functions lost as well?

TIA,
 Dan

p.s. Steve, appreciate your response, but I think I may be looking at
something a little more specific to the Ricoh with its default port of
10000.
