SUMMARY: remote print OSF->VMS with Multinet

From: J.Amon <BAMON_at_OCVAXC.CC.OBERLIN.EDU>

Problem:
  Trying to setup a remote print queue to print to a VAX queue, using
  Multinet for lpd on the VAX side.

Solution:
  The setup on the alpha side was fine.
    lpd running
    printcap okay
    spool directory okay

  I needed the lpd-default-username on the VAX side.

              [VMS Device: EXA0, Link Level: Ethernet]


    Official Host Name: ocvaxc.cc.oberlin.edu
    Default IP Route: 132.162.34.10

    Timezone Rules: US/EASTERN
    Anonymous FTP Directory: ADMIN15:[ANONYMOUS]
--->LPD Default Username: REMOTE_PRT
    Load UCX $QIO driver: TRUE
    Load PWIP (Pathworks) driver: TRUE

Followup Question: (I hope this isn't really stupid.)
  Can't I somehow setup to print to the networked printers without
  going through another machine? They are not directly connected
  to the alpha, but they are directly connected to the campus
  ethernet, and are accessible via TCP/IP.

Note:
  We are without a system manager for our OpenVMS and OSF machines. If you
  are interested, let me know and I'll forward the job description, etc.
  to you. The applications are being accepted until May 17th, and may be
  submitted via email.

  In the mean time, I'm muddling along with your help. THANKS!!!
