I have an LP2844 connected to my PC via USB and I am trying to get

labels to print on it from an >RPG program. I generate the labels in
one outq but when I move the labels to this outq the wtr >ends. I have
also done an OVRPRTF and it doesn't work that way either. Does anyone
have this same> scenario that they could tell me what I have missed? We
are on V5R4 and using EPL2.

his is how I have my outq and devd set up.

When you set up a rmtoutq like this, whatever is at the IP address you
specify must be an LPD server since that is the protocol used for remote
queues. I'm going to go ahead and guess that the IP address you listed
is the PC, which is not running an LPD server? In that case the
behaviour you see it what would be expected, the server tries to connect
to the PC on the port used for LPD, gets no response since nothing is
listening, and eventually times out.

You might have seen this config in other threads involving zebras, but
those machines where equipped with zebra's internal print server, or
possibly just connected to something like an HP JetDirect box or the
like.

So you'll either need to put an actual print server in the mix to make
the rmtoutq setup work, or maybe it could be made to work via client
access as a printer session, but I've never needed to muck with that
myself.
