The Question is:

 
Configuration:
Alphaserveur 1000  + OpenVms 6.2.1H3
UCX 4.2 ECO 4
Local queue on LAT terminal :
Terminal queue OKBL35, idle, on MSX::LTA041:, mounted form OKI80 (stock=DEFAULT)
  /AUTOSTART_ON=(MSX::LTA041:) /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FORM=OKI132
   (stock=DEFAULT)) Lowercase /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=LATSYM
  /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /RETAIN=ERROR /SCHEDULE=(NOSIZE)
 
A lpq queue definition:
OKBL35|okbl35|okbl35:\
        :lf=/SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/OKBL35.LOG:\
        :lp=OKBL35:\
        :sd=/SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/OKBL35:
 
 
on a server NT 4.0 sp6
a lpr port ( msx:okbl35) used with a generic/text printer
 
this configuration give the following error on the alphaserver :
 
$       save=5+2*f$getsyi("cluster_nodes")
$       purge/keep=5
$       run sys$system:ucx$lpd_rcv.exe
 
%%%%%%%%%%%%                   14-MAY-2001 10:46:01.79  %%%%%%%%%%%%
%UCX-E-LPD_LOSTCONN, Connection lost
 
 
 
 
%UCX-E-LPD_LOSTCONN, Connection lost
  UCX_LPD      job terminated at 14-MAY-2001 10:46:01.80
 
all the TCPIP adresses are ok! and the following command works on the NT server:
 
C:\>lpq -S msx -P okbl35
no entries

The Answer is :

 
  Please start with topic (1020) for general information, and please
  use the SYS$SYSTEM:UCX$LPRSETUP (TCPIP$LPRSETUP on V5 and later)
  tool to set up the printer.
 
  Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center, as additional
  information will be required.
