» close window

The Question is:

 
i dial up to the alpha from home.  i have wrq reflection installed on my pc
 that has lpd & lpr.  currently, the only way i know how to print is to do a
 print screen.  how do i set up a queue on the alpha so the print jobs will go
 to my local printer?  i h
ave named the printer 'dennislpd' within wrq reflection.

The Answer is :

 
  Regarding Terminal or Windows-attached printers and IP printing, topics
  (2490), (2680), (4935), (5198), (8634), and particularly topics (1020),
  (9311) and (9416), will be of interest here.
 
  As has been stated before, the OpenVMS Wizard cannot recommend using
  host-based LPD due to the relative difficulty of supporting the
  configuration.
 
  For particular assistance with and suggestions for the configuration
  of your Microsoft Windows client and the cited client applications,
  please contact the third-party vendors for the LPD and Relections
  products involved.  The OpenVMS Wizard is not particularly in a
  position to provide support for any of these third-party packages.
