Re: User Profile Output Queue & Printer Device vs OVRPRTF

help text for user profile (does not mention a valid value of "blank")
                                             Print device (PRTDEV) - Help
Specifies the name of the default printer device for this user.  If the
printer file being used to create the output specifies to spool the
file, the spooled file is placed on the device's output queue, which is
named the same as the device.
    Note:  This assumes the defaults are specified on the OUTQ
    parameter for the printer file, job description, user profile and
    workstation.
The possible values are:
*SAME
    The printer value does not change.
*WRKSTN
    The printer assigned to the user's work station is used.
*SYSVAL
    The default system printer specified in the system value QPRTDEV is
    used.
printer-device-name
    Specify the name of a printer that is used to print the output for this
user.
