I've used ioconfig directly to set up 97 (currently) network printers and
they always come up spooled, whether the printer is already on the network
or not. So, I would surmise that they should come up spooled from doionow.

If in your case they are not coming up spooled, does a simple startspool
take care of things or are there additional issues?
