The change I had mad to the /sbin/init.d/lat file was correct. Once I
rebooted it worked just fine.

I have been able to easily change LAT on the MicroVAX to point to the new
printer (PORT_5) with no problems. I am trying to change LAT on the Alphas
to point to PORT_5 rather than PORT_2. I have found (on my Alpha) the
file /sbin/init.d/lat which contains the line

/usr/sbin/latcp -A -p tty0w -H VAXNOD -R PORT_2

I changed PORT_2 to PORT_5. I then killed the lpr job and restarted it.
I also went into latsetup, stopped LAT then restarted it. I was hoping
that this would get my Alpha(s) to print to the new printer, but it did
not work.
