It's the other way around: You set up the Jetdirect to pull jobs from the
print queue. Enter the Jetdirect setup; I dont think you'll have a hard
time figuring it out,

He may mean he doesn't know how to get the dos job into the print
queue.

We always used the capture command eg

capture.exe /l=2 /q=laser_q /nb /nff - capture lp2 to laser_q
or in the login script

#capture.exe /l=2 /q=laser_q /nb /nff

or
if member of "group"
#capture.exe /l=1 /q=laser2_q /nb /nff
end
