Note:
A customer has reported that AIX 4.1.4 has a limit on the number of characters in the remote queue
name. Thus, if UNIXFF-printername is too long, shortened prefixes (D, DF, U, UF, T) can be used. Also, some systems do not allow a dash "-" in
the remote queue name. For these systems, an underscore "_" can be used instead.
If you are running Windows 3.1, or Windows 3.11 enter one of the following for the "Name of Queue on Remote Printer":
| dos-lpt1 | dos-lpt2 |
| dosff-lpt1 | dosff-lpt2 |

Where lpt# is the port that the printer is attached to.
