No printer expert here but we have several thousand remote queues setup on our AIX 6.1 server. When you say a remote queue I take that as a printer that has an IP defined on it. So you have set up a queue on the AIX machine to print to this print server? If your manual or when you enter the setup don't specify a port name it could be hard. We have that issue on several different print servers. Some just take some default name and others like Trendnet must have a remote queue name of P1. Can you telnet to that IP on port 515 or 9100 to verify the print server is talking? Again not much help here but the port name might be found in the config page if you print it out or in the setup screens. Also I found out that you can't just modify the rq name in the qconfig file and save it. Even a re-digest will not do it or has not for me. I have had to remove the queue each time and re-add it. Hope something I have said helps.
