Changing IP Host Address?

» close window

The Question is:

 
There is a VAX machine on my network which prints to a HP network printer.
 Recently, the IP address of the printer was changed BUT I don't know how to
 change the printer settings on the VAX machine! The error message that appears
 is:
 
UCX$TELNETSYSTEM - OPEN "HP5SI:9100" : REMOTE NODE IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
 
Thanks for your time,
 
Richard.

The Answer is :

 
  Assuming a version of TCP/IP Services likely to be found on OpenVMS
  VAX V5.5-2, use the UCX utility command (or the TCPIP utility command
  on TCP/IP Services V5.0 and later) SET NOHOST to remote the entry and
  SET HOST to add the new entry.  If you do not have the host entered
  in your local host database and are using DNS (BIND) to locate it,
  you will have to change the address in your DNS server and then
  reinitialize your local DNS (BIND) cache, typically via the command
  SET NAME/INITIALIZE or similar.
 
  If you have a third-party IP stack, please contact the vendor for
  assistance.
 
  For general IP Printing questions, please see the available TCP/IP
  Services documentation -- the FAQ has pointers -- and please see topic
  (1020) and the various other topics referenced from that topic.
