The Question is:
Scenario: Alpha System, running OpenVMS 7.1 with 2 printer (Digital LA30W
Companion Printer and Digital LA400 Multiprinter). I have to print a Word
document on both printers via TCPIP$LPD server on alpha from a Windows NT
Workstation 4.00, sp4.
TCPIP$LPD configured this way:
SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$LPD]TCPIP$PRINTCAP.DAT :
# LOCAL PRINTERS
#TCPIP$LPD_QUEUE:\
:lp=TCPIP$LPD_QUEUE:\
:sd=TCPIP$LPD_SPOOL:
RAG_PRINT|rag_print:\
:lf=/SYS$SPECIFIC/TCPIP$LPD/RAG_PRINT.LOG:\
:lp=RAG_PRINT:\
:sd=/SYS$SPECIFIC/TCPIP$LPD/RAG_PRINT:
RAG_PRINT2|rag_print2:\
:lf=/SYS$SPECIFIC/TCPIP$LPD/RAG_PRINT2.LOG:\
:lp=RAG_PRINT2:\
:sd=/SYS$SPECIFIC/TCPIP$LPD/RAG_PRINT2:
My queues are: (SHO QUE /FULL):
Terminal queue RAG_PRINT, idle, on RAGIO::LTA1:, mounted form LA400
(stock=DEFAULT)
/AUTOSTART_ON=(RAGIO::LTA1:) /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FORM=LA400
(stock=DEFAULT)) Lowercase /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=LATSYM
/PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W)
(IDENTIFIER=[RAGMAN],ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT+MANAGE+DELETE)
(IDENTIFIER=[NARDI],ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT+MANAGE+DELETE)
(IDENTIFIER=[QUILICI],ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT+MANAGE+DELETE)
(IDENTIFIER=FINANZIARIA_GENERALE,ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT)
(IDENTIFIER=FINANZIARIA_PARZIALE,ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT)
(IDENTIFIER=FINANZIARIA_LINK,ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT)
Terminal queue RAG_PRINT2, idle, on RAGIO::TTA0:, mounted form LA30
(stock=DEFAULT)
/AUTOSTART_ON=(RAGIO::TTA0:) /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FORM=LA30
(stock=DEFAULT)) Lowercase /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W)

(IDENTIFIER=[NARDI],ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT+MANAGE+DELETE)
(IDENTIFIER=[QUILICI],ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT+MANAGE+DELETE)
(IDENTIFIER=FINANZIARIA_GENERALE,ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT)
(IDENTIFIER=FINANZIARIA_PARZIALE,ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT)
(IDENTIFIER=FINANZIARIA_LINK,ACCESS=READ+SUBMIT)
Server queue TCPIP$LPD_QUEUE, idle, on RAGIO::, mounted form DEFAULT
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=DEFAULT) /NOENABLE_GENERIC
/OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=TCPIP$LPD_SMB /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S)
/RETAIN=ERROR
I configured my NT vith: Start - Impostazioni (in italian) - Printers -
Server Properties - ports - add port - local port - new port called eg.
RAG_PRINT2.
I close panel and do Add Printer - local printer - rag_print2 port and
select a driver (downloaded from Digital web server).
I try to print anything but i can see no response on NT either on my alpha
station without being gived any error from NT. If i do a SHO QUEUE/FULL i
can see all queues idle, printing nothing.
I would send you some log, or error log but i couldn't fint any. If i print
from OpenVms i can print without any problem.
(At least PRINT/QUE=ANY_QUE still work :]). I'm not a VMS SYSTEM MANAGER,
although i have any needed privilege to manage my system, but i have to
resolve this problem as son as possible.
I would appreciate if you can give me any information about: finding any log
on my system about my lpd server, finding more information about TCPIP$LPD
on VMS and NT clients. I also would know if you find any error in my
configuration or if you have any s
uggestion about checking more information from my system that i can pass
you, or if you have any suggestion about running tests program to test my
configuration.
I have to add that the printers print on a "continue module" (80 columns for
LA30W and 132 for LA400)... perhaps i misconfigured it on my NT
configuration? I tried all the "separator page" and printing processor,
nothing changed.
Thanks in advance,
Simona Venuti
The Answer is : Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center, as the OpenVMS Wizard is not a Windows NT System Manager -- and as this question appears to be a time-critical question. Also please ensure that OpenVMS TCP/IP Services is running at least V4.2 with the current ECO, or (better) V5.0A or later.
