Bob, I'm pretty sure you can't do *AFPDS printing to a remote outq dot matrix printer. Check this document for details. It would appear that the newer 2581 printers may support it, but not the 2481's.

Wayne thanks for the response. I changed the printer config to match
yours, but I'm still having problems. When I try to print an order
document, it just compresses all of the printing into 7 continuous
lines. The document contains barcodes and different font sizes. The
print file is defined as *AFPDS. Any idea where my problem lies?

Subject: Re: Lexmark 2481 Configuration Help Needed

Here's the remote output queue configuration we've been using for our 2391's attached to port 0 of the Lexmark print server box. I use a command front end that prompts for the output queue name and the IP address. Hope this helps.

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/&OUTQ) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) +
RMTPRTQ('/prt0') AUTOSTRWTR(1) +
CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) +
MFRTYPMDL(*LEX2391) INTNETADR(&IPADDR) +
DESTOPT('XAUTOQ XAIX') SEPPAGE(*NO)

that would point me in the right direction?
