The Question is: I know -- another HP printer question -- but please read further as the actual question has nothing to do with the printer, but actually is asking how can I emulate "SET TERM/FORM/PASTHRU/PERM" when using a VMS print queue. I set up a serial connection to an HP printer with FORM and PASTHRU using reverse LAT and the name of LTA108: I also set up a TCP/IP print queue to the same printer using the following script and name of LTA2501: $ set verify $ set noon $ ! $ ! tcpip.faw -- sample of setting up a TCP/IP print queue $ ! $ ! hint: . to show that the HP is alive we added a TELNET command $ ! (type 'exit' at the ">") $ ! $ define/user sys$input sys$command $ telnet 10.0.1.201 exit $ init/queue/start/proc=ucx$telnetsym/on="10.0.1.201:9100"/def=(nofeed) rdhp4 $ mcr latcp create port lta2501 $ set term/perm/form/pasthru lta2501: $ set device/spooled=(rdhp4,disk$disk1) lta2501 $ assign/system lta2501: tt997: $ term tt997 $ sho queu rdhp4 $ copy tcpip.faw tt997:/lo $ set noverify I have a VMS file which contains a set of HPPCL commands. I can $ COPY this file serially to LTA108: and the HP receives them fine and prints the graphic. When I copy the same file to the same printer using tcp/ip to lta2501: the HP receives only fragments of the file and hence prints garbage. QUESTION: How can I emulate the FORM and PASTHRU capabilities of the terminal driver in a TCP/IP connection? Your assistance and help is appreciated! The Answer is : Please contact the customer support center. Expect to be asked the version of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX) in use here, as well as if any of the ECO kits available have been applied. (If you are not already using the most current UCX version and its associated ECO, please upgrade to it.)
