connect onto the decsever...
 
what are the right instruction to print from the vax to the printer between
the router
 
help is urgent thanks
 
 


The Answer is :

 
  As this is reportedly an urgent question, please contact the customer
  support center directly -- there is insufficient information on the
  available local software to determine the best and most appropriate
  solution for remote printing in this configuration.
 
  Information on printing via reverse LAT is available in the OpenVMS
  documentation and in examples available on the OpenVMS kit, particularly
  SYS$STARTUP:LAT$STARTUP.COM and LAT$SYSTARTUP.*, and in the documentation
  on setting up print queues in the OpenVMS System Manager's manual.
 
  You mention a repeater and a router -- LAT will operate via a repeater,
  bridge, or brouter, but it will not operate via a router.  LAT is not
  a routed protocol.  (This is one of the reasons why the Wizard indicates
  that additional information is required.)
 
  Telnet and other protocols supported by the DECserver 90M are alternatives
  here, and TCP/IP protocols can be routed.  Discussions of telnet-based
  printing are covered in the TCP/IP for OpenVMS (UCX) manuals, and there
  are various discussions of telnet printing here in Ask The Wizard.
