Thanks to Rochelle Lauer. Through working back and forth on several

emails, we verified that I set up a local queue using the lpr$setup

executatble. Rochelle gave me a sample printcap of the unix side print

queue. We also verified the ucx$lpd_queue was running on the vms side.

The final solution I sortta stumbled onto. I had to define a

"communication" proxy under ucx.



ucx> add proxy system /host=unixhost/remote_user=root



Worked just great after this!



Thanks to Paul Thompson who said I could just bypass all this and go

straight to Lat. That would be too easy and it would mean the machine

won.



Thanks to Leonid Kolytchev who suggested checking the existence of the

spool directories and to check that the ucx$lpd_queue is running. All

good suggestions but not the answer. These were ok.

I hate to bother you all with this one but I haven't been able to access

the archives all day. I am using printconfig to create a remote queue

on an OpenVms system. I then try to print the test page and nothing

comes out. I can do a $reply/enable on the vms side and see the request

coming over but no printout!!



The queue on the vms side is a lat queue so theoretically I could set it

up to print straight to the terminal server and port, I think. Anyway,

has anyone set up unit --> vms printing? Thank you in advance!
