In this example is this a printer with an IP address on a Network?  Or is
this a local printer?  301-253E, is that the name of the printer?  Is that
name a DNS entry, if it has an IP address?  Is it possible to set it to
print directly to the printer's IP address?  In this way I could
circumvent printing to a VAX queue altogether.
