The Question is: I have a Digital LG14Plus line printer with a RapidPrint 500 attached to it. It has a class-C IP address. I set up a printer queue using SYS$STARTUP:DCPS$EXECUTION_QUEUE.COM with p1: Printer$xxx p2: "IP_rawTCP/ip_address:2001" (where ip_address is the IP-address of the RapidPrint 500) p3: DCPS_LIB p4: "data=ansi" When the command file is executed, it creates a print queue with PRINTER$XXX and is in idle state. I typed a print command to PRINTER$XXX, and its printer queue status says "Starting". It just stays at this status forever. I'm running DCPS V2.3. Did I missed any setup? The Answer is : The LG14+ series printer is a line printer and does not provide a Postscript engine or Postscript printing capabilities, and is accordingly incompatible with DECprint Services (DCPS) printer expectations; this and similar printers cannot be used with DCPS. Please use an LPR or Telnet symbiont queue for IP access to the printer via the RapidPrint 500 server. For general information on this, please see the TCP/IP Services documentation (or the documentation of the particular IP stack in use), and please see topics here including (1020).
