Printing to multiple logical IP ports?

» close window

The Question is:

 
HI,
 
Is it possible to use direct IP printing from VMS to print to multi-port
JetDirect Print Servers?
 
Under Unix we can specify text1,2,3 in the printcap file and this will print
to each logical port.  Is there a way of doing this within the Open VMS
environment?
 
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
 
Many thanks,

The Answer is :

 
  TCP/IP Services does permit print queues to print to specified ports,
  and specification of the port is required as part of the print queue
  configuration process.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard is unfamiliar with HP "multi-port JetDirect Print
  Servers".  Assuming TCP/IP Services is installed, you will want to
  contact the Compaq customer support center, and provide some details
  of these devices, and of the particular TCP/IP version installed.
