The Question is: We just bought a new HP LaserJet 4000 to print Postscript files generated by a Alpha I use LPD (UCX version 4.0) on Openvms 6.2 1H3 When I print 1 file, everything is fine But if a command file (.COM) print 2 files one after the other, I sometime get the error message: "LPD Retrying failed job: PROF Number: 475 User: P Status: %SYSTEM-F-REJECT, connect to network object rejected" and after that, the job is automatically resubmitted in the queue with a 5 minutes delay. 1- Can I change the delay? (with the logical name UCX$LPD_RETRY_INTERVAL or any other) I found nothing that tell me the default 5 minutes, where can I find this information? 2- How can I fix the problem?: Is it a printer problem or LPD problem? And a bonus question: I always get this trailer page: "User: P Host: GBXAXP.ALCAN.CA Class: Job: CONN" Is it generated by my system or the printer? And how remove it? (I called HP and they say it is the system but I dont trust them) Thanks The Answer is :
Seriously consider an upgrade to TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX) V4.1
or V4.2, with the associated ECO kit -- V4.2 is the current release at
this writing.
DCPS is the mechanism typically used to print Postscript files -- the
DCPS-OPEN license supports a number of third-party Poscript printers.
LPR/LPD doesn't tend to be the best approach for use with bi-directional
communications -- most Postscript printers actually communicate with the
host for various purposes, and DCPS is set up to deal with this.
The usual logical names used to control retries are UCX$LPD_RETRY_INTERVAL
and UCX$LPD_MAXIMUM_INTERVAL, typically defined /SYSTEM/EXEC. Also available
is UCX$LPD_DONT_NOTIFY_ON_RETRY. As an example:
$
$! Tell UCX LPD to retry the job every minute:
$
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE UCX$LPD_RETRY_INTERVAL "0 00:01:00.00"
And please contact the customer support center for assistance with this
particular problem.
