Remote Printing via tn5250 lp5250d

Hi,
    I am attempting to print from an AS/400 to a remote printer at my home.  I am tn5250 to connect via tcp and lp5250d to set up the printer/outq on the AS/400.  The setup works fine - I can create the queue and when I direct a spool file to that queue it is pushed to my windows spool queue but it never prints.  It eventually just disappears from the queue.  I am trying to print to an HP Officejet 8610 Pro and I have tried various and sundry values for the MFRTYPMDL parm, but at this point I have kind of hit a brick wall.  Does anyone have any ideas on what value to use for the mfrtypmdl parm?  Below is my command string for my last attempt.

Thank you!

lp5250d env.DEVNAME=TEST13 env.IBMMFRTYPMDL='*HP5' pub400.com
