There is a remote printer set up, using CRTOUTQ OutQ( QUSRSYS/Printer1 ), INTNETADR() etc, host table entry, and CRTDEVPRT DEVCLS(*VRT).

I create my printers more like CRTDEVPRT DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(*IPDS)
LANATTACH(*IP) RMTLOCNAME(nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) and so on.

I need to create another remote outq to print to the same printer but to pull from Drawer 3.

With an actual device description, I just do OVRPRTF DRAWER(3)

If I use the "workstation customization object", will that work for a remote printer?

Maybe?

And if specifying the drawer works, what are the specs in the WSCST() to do this? With RTVWSCST command and look at the source, I see a :DWRSLT parameter with DRAWER= and DATA= entries apparently for DRAWER1 and 2.

It all depends on the printer. There's no particular standard, but
often the printer manufacturer has a reference manual that explains the
escape sequence.

The WSCST characters are hex representations of ASCII characters,
mostly. For my HP4350, tray 1 is set to 1B266C3148
1b - escape
26 - &
6c - l (lower case L)
31 - 4 (the number four)
48 - H

and this matches the HP reference (see page 312)
