Hello

Operating system: VAX/VMS

I have two printer with the same IP.

How to change printer IP in VMS?

I am guessing you are talking about in the queue definition on VMS. I believe that will depend on which TCP/IP stack you are using. If you are using Multinet then you would do something similar to the following:

$ multinet configure/printer
PRINTER-CONFIG>SHOW
{receive list of printers defined}
PRINTER-CONFIG>MODIFY queue_name
{receive prompts for various parameters including remote host name/ip address}
PRINTER-CONFIG>EXIT
$ @multinet:remote-printer-queues.com

If your stack is TCPIP or UCX, then somebody else will have to provide assistance.

Hope this helps.

Can you post the result of doing SHOW QUEUE/FULL on the queue so we can see what sort of queue and advise you further.

If you mean that the network cards in 2 printers have the same ip set, then it depends on the printer type.
You can telnet to HP printers and change settings there, also some printers have web servers, so you can change settings using an http browser.

I executed:
show queue/all MAPV08::T_$DMM$IMA$SPED
and the output:

Server queue DMM$IMA$SPED, idle , on MAPV08::T_$DMM$IMA$SPED mounted form DEFAULT

Hi Ian Miller, tahnks for your reply

I executed:
show queue/full MAPV08::T_$DMM$IMA$SPED
The output:

Server queue DMM$IMA$SPED, idle , on MAPV08::T_$DMM$IMA$SPED mounted form DEFAULT
/AUTOSTART_ON=(MAPV08::T_$DMM$IMA$SPED,MAPV07::T_$DMM$IMA$SPED)
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FORM=DEFAULT) /NOENABLE_GENERIC /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=LPDBIONT /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /SCHEDULE=(NOSIZE) /SEPARATE=(TRAILER)

Buenas dias Joaquin,

from your output of SHOW QUEU/FULL,
I am guessing that you execute this in a cluster?
And this is about one and the same printer?
And T_$DMM$IMA$SPED is the DNS name of the IP of your printer?

If YES to all three above, than you only have ONE queue to that printer, BUT, it has been set up to be available and active whenever MAPV07 and/OR MAPV08 is up.
Whenever the node that at this moment serves the queue goes down (by operator shutdown OR by some failure), the QUEUE_MANAGER will automagically transfer the functionality of the que to the other node, and printing will simply continue.
This is one of the magnificient aspects of VMS clustering!

hope this helps,

Proost.

Have one on me.

I would like you to tell me if the command to change priner IP address is similar to:

INITIALIZE QUEUE ....

Thanks to every body

I think HELP INIT /QUEUE should tell you most options and parameters.

Modifications can be performed using SET QUEUE (see Help for details).

Maybe you should read the "VMS Systems Manager Manual, Chapter 14, Setting Up and Maintaining Queues" too.
