RE: Remote IP Printer

Note that you can create a dummy device description so that your users
will be able to work with the RMTOUTQ attached printer like they are
used to.
See here, "Creating a Dummy Device Description to Use with a Remote
Output Queue (RMTOUTQ)":

However, the recommended way of printing to LAN printers in order of
preference:
IPDS
SNMP
IPP 
PJL
RMTOUTQ

Start here to see what your printer would support, "Options to Configure
a Printer on an IBM(r) iSeries(tm) Family of Servers".
