Instead of using the IBM i Access client, use the Access Client Solutions client. There is an Actions menu, and one of the menu options is Printer Output - from this you can see all your spooled files, view and/or download them as PDFs.

Very cool, actually - and no remote output queues or other fancy stuff needed - unless there is something I'm missing in your requirements.

I am loading IBM i Access Client on my home PC to do some programming
at home.

I also have the need to print so I assume I can setup a Remote Output
Queue on our Power 8
(correct me if I am wrong)

My ISP assigned my home a static IP address with my PC and printer
having IP addresses of 192.168.1.xxx

Can anyone tell me how I can create a remote output queue on the Power
8 that will connect to my HP laser printer at home.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions you may offer
