For correct addressing just read the Header/Self-defining Section which contains the triplet fields (offset/length/number) and use the right offsets. You should also read the articles by George Ng in IBM Systems Magazine (the links are in the book). His example deals with SMF30. Greetings

AFAIK, you will need to define the printer as a remote printer and use TCPIP (LINE=TCP) for communication. I may be incorrect, but I do not believe NJE is necessary for TCP/IP communication. As others have mentioned, NPF is a possibility (but I would not count on it being around long term).
