Thank you - I'm a little confused - under what parm would I specify the pdt file?  I've been working with the MFRTYPMDL - perhaps that's my issue?  Thanks.

According to this, you should be using HPPCL5.pdt or HPDSKJT.pdt

Subject: 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
