The Zebra GK420t arrived today. ÂI am pulling my hair out again concerning

to configure it with a RMTPRTQ of 'PORTLF1' ", and I don't have a solid
understanding how a remote outq is different from a regular outq other than
I see it seems to be using some PASE type features when it is created (i.e.
'/prt01') via iNav.

A Remotq Outq uses the LPR protocol to send a spool file to another
system. The RMTPRTQ parameter specifies to which remote print queue
it's being sent - in case of a directly network attached printer, this
can be either inconsequential (Zebra print servers), specify the type
of content (HP, for example) or in case of another system it can
specify the other print queue (for example, when sending to another
IBM i machine.

Here's how i create my Zebra Remote OUTQ, with which i've installed a
few GK420ts just a few weeks ago:

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(PRTETIK) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ('1') CNNTYPE(*IP)
DESTTYPE(*OTHER) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*WSCST) WSCST(QWPDEFAULT)
INTNETADR('192.168.1.100') SEPPAGE(*NO)

As you can see, RMTPRTQ is '1' in this case - this is a dummy value.

Make sure you print SCS spool files that are 100% aligned to the left,
no spaces, no nothing. This can cause issues, otherwise.
