HP OpenVMS Systems

Setting up print queues? (LN03+, HP, IP)

» close window

The Question is:

 
We have a Digital LN03 plus printer that we wish to use on our VAX. It was
formerly set up to work with a LN03R Postscript printer.
How do I set it to use the LN03?
 
Also we want to send the output to file in PS format and then print it out
on PS printer on the network via TCP/IP. This printer is a HP Laser Jet 5M.
How can I do this?
 
I do not know too much about VAX systems, so please try to keep the answer
on a newbie level.
 
Thanx
Chris
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The LN03+ is not a Postscript printer, you will need a converter and
  you will likely not be using DCPS -- DCPS is needed for the Postscript
  communications used with the LN03R -- to access the LN03+ printer.
 
  Setting up serial printers and print queues is covered in the OpenVMS
  System Management Essentials documentation.
 
  Setting up a network connection to the HP LaserJet 5M (a Postscript
  printer) is available via recent versions of DCPS, as well as via
  non-Postscript queues using a NIC or a LATprint associated with the
  target printer.  Information on setting up IP-based print queues is
  covered in detail in the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS documentation.
