TCP/IP LPD Printing and Flag Pages?

» close window

The Question is:

 
	I have been researching a problem we have getting FLAG pages to
print on a remote printer using UCX$LPD_SMB.  I think that I've done
everything according to the information available and have scoured the
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management manual (11-
DEC-98) on the net.
	We can't get FLAG pages to print.  Flag pages print fine on all
queues served by a DECserver using LAT.
 
	Can you help ... I've included info re versions and the setup
parameters used here.  Help!
 
	Thanks a bunch!

Information as entered into the PRINTCAP via sys$system:ucx$lprsetup:
 
                    Symbol  type  value
                    ------  ----  -----
Error log file    :  lf     STR   /SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/$LAB.LOG
Printer Queue     :  lp     STR   $LAB
PS extensions flag:  ps     STR   non_ps
Remote Host       :  rm     STR   00218
Remote Printer    :  rp     STR   HPIII
Spool Directory   :  sd     STR   /SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/$LAB
/PASSALL flag     :  pa     BOOL  on
cr  flag          :  cr     BOOL  on
 
Are these the final values for printer $LAB ? [y] y
 
Adding comments to printcap file for new printer, type '?' for help.
Do you want to add comments to the printcap file [n] ? : y
Enter comments below - Press RETURN on empty line to exit
 
# $LAB - Lab Printer
 
 
Do you want the queue to default to print flag pages [y] : y
 
Do you want this procedure to start the queue [n] : y
 
 
The Print Queue:
 
$ sho que/all/full $lab
Server queue $LAB, idle, on ALPHA5::, mounted form DEFAULT
  /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FLAG,FORM=DEFAULT) /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
  /PROCESSOR=UCX$LPD_SMB /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S)
 
 
 
Printing works fine, even with use of a LIBRARY with text setup modules --
but no matter what, we cannot get a flag page to print (even with
$print/flag)

The Answer is :

 
  Assuming the previous discussions of flag pages here in Ask The
  Wizard do not provide assistance, please contact the Compaq Customer
  Support Center -- additional configuration information and additional
  research will be required.
