We were just forced to change everything over to IP Printing. No servers for printers just IP address. Example printer address is 10.50.50.10

We have a software program that must use a queue. For example \\ads4\dev1_que

Is there anyway to make this work using IP Printing?
 
You're going to have lots of problems trying to run without queues. What happens when two users send jobs to the same printer at the same time? One of those jobs is thrown away...

If you can't run queues on a server, you can buy small "print server" boxes that hang on the side of a printer and act as a local queue.

Or do I misunderstand your question? Are you by chance migrating away from Netware print queues?
