Hi,
I have two questions:
1) I'd like to know how people manage and set up their queues in a
production room environment. We are a VAX shop migrating to OSF and have
two high speed line printers that our OSF applications will have to access.
Users will need to print different form types (like 132 character paper,
different bubble sheets, carbon copies, etc.). The only way I know to get
this done in unix is to set up different queues for different form types and
keep them offline. Users send their files to the printer with the proper
form type and the operators check the queues, turning them off and on as
they change form types. I'm sure there are other ways. Those who have this
environment, would you let me know what works well for you?
2) On our VAX system, our Macintosh users can print VAX files to the
printer designated in their "Chooser". There's a little program written
that changes the terminal type to /form and sends an escape sequence that (I
think) does the same thing as the F2 key on a VT100 type terminal. If you
have this capability on your OSF machine, please let me know how you get it
done.
Thanks in advance.
