The Question is: I have seen the post for printing with DCPS to an Hp printer using a "jet" card. I have a NT workstation with a printer port (ab1-128-hp-lj3) and I would like to set it up to print from a Alpha (7.2-1) using DCPS (1.7). I'm not sure what port to put to print to DEC5::"ip_cpap/ab1-1-233:? The Answer is : Please contact your Microsoft technical support organization for assistance in locating and configuring software to allow Windows NT to act as an LPD server -- there have been various discussions of configuring OpenVMS LPR and LPD, and these permit access to various remote LPD packages in printers and remote host systems. (The OpenVMS Wizard would at least initially avoid adding this additional and unnecesary level of complexity to the IP configuration, and would use LPR/LPD directly from OpenVMS to the printer NIC.)
