The main reason we use TSLLPRD, is that all our printers, hundreds, are installed on various Windows Print Servers.
We also have software that monitors all printing from those servers.
So all our iSeries printers needed to point to its proper corresponding Windows print share.

Subject: Re: Remote outq vs device WAS: Remote OUTQ print to HP M454dn extra page
I think the other way. Devices could restart at a page or print a number of copies while output queues could not. Also with the remote output queue once you tossed it to the printer it was gone. We called it 'black hole printing.'
Adding TSLLPRD fixed a bunch of that but it's still a remote writer not a device.
What the LPR/Remote Output queue did though was support a lot of printers that couldn't otherwise be used.

Wasn't there some reason for a preference of a remote output queue over a device at one time?
Perhaps with restarting at a certain page number or some such thing?
