Thanks Gary Patterson . Could you please give me a example command to create Remote Printer
Can you provide more of an explanation of what, exactly, you mean by a "remote printer"?  For example, what make and model?  How is it attached?
Printer configuration can be a pretty big, complex topic, and there are numerous alternatives depending on type of printer, protocols printer supports, communication mechanism, need to share printers with other systems and platforms, degree of control needed over printing, etc.  If you'll respond to my earlier question, I can provide you with more specific advice.

Here is a good IBM Technote that explains many of the various options for configuring various different types of printers, and for different connection mechanisms:
