HP OpenVMS Systems

Configuring TCP/IP (UCX) lpr/lpd?

» close window

The Question is:

 
TCP/IP printing from VMS to Win NT.
 
Our company specialises in selling an electronic forms package called
Autoform.
 
Our system usually runs on a Windows NT server, and receives print jobs from
AS400 or various flavours of UNIX using LPR/LPD.
NT provides the LPD if the service is installed, and the host printer setup
needs to specify NT IP address and remote q name on NT server.
 
A potential  customer has approached us and asked if we can attach to his
VAX VMS system.
 
By reading some of the previous responses, I can see that this should
possible.
 
Please can you advise on steps to set up such a queue, and min O/S
requirements (e.g. UCX  V4.1 or better )
 
TIA
 

The Answer is :

 
  Please see the existing discussions of setting up lpr/lpd queues
  using TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS.  If these -- and the associated
  TCP/IP Services product documentation -- prove insufficient, please
  contact the customer support center.
 
  The Wizard would recommend using the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
  V4.1 or V4.2 package, with the associated current ECO kit.
