Re: Issues with new HP M404dn printer

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a thought on remote OUTQs and DEVDs (maybe this was already said 
somewhere, but the entire thread is not here) - some applications 
require using a DEVD - the main one, IIRC, is Query for [pick your 
version of the system name].

That was, for places where I worked, the main reason to create the DEVD 
over the remote OUTQ. The other was support for things like page range 
and number of copies. There were a couple special values one could set, 
to make the remote OUTQ be able to use copies, at least.

So there it is - long-time-ago memories!
