The Question is: Running Dcps 1.8 on openvms 6.3 on alpha Need to define queues to support 4050TN The printer queue- prints the first job OK, then when you submit the second job from VMS it goes into a stopped state until you start the queue again. I have tried different reste modules, but none seem to work. The personality is set to postscript...I kn ow other people are printing ok by using escape sequences to rest the printer but so far i have had no luck...can you help! The Answer is :
DCPS V1.8 does not currently support the HP 4050 series printers.
Please first ensure that you have the current ECO kit for TCP/IP
Services V4.2 applied, and please also see topic 1020 for the usual
sorts of IP printing problems.
The OpenVMS Wizard is aware of some customers that have succeeded in
using ip_rawtcp access to communicate via port 9100 on the HP 4500 and
4050 series printers. Reportedly, you will need to use the printer's
configuration menu to select "PS" rather than the default "Auto".
The OpenVMS Wizard has NOT tested the following, but has been informed
that this sequence appears to work in various cases:
First, you can apparently use the printer tray select from the
existing DCPS-supported HP 4000 series printers:
$ LIBR/TEXT/EXTRACT=LPS$$HPLASERJET4000_SETINPUTTRAY -
/OUTPUT=LPS$$UNRECOGNIZED_SETINPUTTRAY.TXT_4050 -
SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$DEVCTL
$ LIBR/TEXT/EXTRACT=LPS$$HPLASERJET4000_INITPSDEVICE -
/OUTPUT=LPS$$UNRECOGNIZED_INITPSDEVICE.TXT_4050 -
SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$DEVCTL
$ LIBR/TEXT/CREATE SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DCPS_DEVCTL_HP4050 *.TXT_4050
Then add the following to the DCPS startup:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE/NOLOG -
DCPS_DEVCTL_HP4500_LIB -
SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS_DEVCTL_HP4050,DCPS$DEVCTL
While in the DCPS startup, add the /LIBRARY qualifier to initialize
the relationship between the HP 4050 queue and the associated library:
$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/LIBRARY=DCPS_DEVCTL_HP4500_LIB
