UCX$TELNETSYM and FORMS

Tania Percy — Wed, 17 Dec 2003 10:15:40 GMT

In my dcps$startup.com and have set the queues to use a form. Iniitally this worked no problem. I recently had to change the processor on one queue from dcps$smb to ucx$telnetsym and now I can't get the queue to use the form. The UCX version is 3.3. I am using the following:
init/queue LNC02$queue/processor=ucx$telnetsym/start/on="XXXXXX:XXXXX"/form_mounted=confidential/library=dcps_lib.
I have created a ps1.tlb and inserted the confidential form and added the tlb to the dcps$startup. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Also when changing form_mounted to form= or setup= I get a sys$devctl.tlb.tlb not found. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Tania,
first your UCX si very very old; I hint upgrade.
Also you are using a mixed environment DCPS and UCX: I never try it and may be doen't work; if you will use UCX$TELNETSYM processor you have use a standard queue, not a DCPS queue, so you could omit /LIB or declare /LIB=SYS$DEVCTL (that's default library); SYS$DEVCTL must exist in SYS$LIBRARY.

H.T.H.

I'm getting an "error opening sys$library:dcps_lib.tlb as input, file not found. I'm going to try putting the form in sys$devctl. Thanks.

Hi ,

Check for logical DCPS_LIB . It should point to proper libraries ( default DCPS$DEVCTL). You can also add one or more libraries to this logical( i.e. define search logical) .

A question aside: why did you change the processor from DCPS -> TELNET?

NetPocket Elite has recently been added to the printer and is being used as a workaround which is the reason for the ucx$telnetsym. If dcps and ucx don't work together, does anyone know of another workaround, possibly a way to download the code to the printer or routing to a windows NT print queue? I have added the same form code to redefine the showpage operator to the windows separator page and it works fine.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

You can create a LPD queue , which will redirect your jobs to an existing queue on NT printserver. For this you have to enable LPD services both on NT server and VMS .

On VMS end, you can create an lpd queue with command:

$mc ucx$lprsetup

This is menu driven, so easy to define queue here. If you face any problem, just post again.

Still unable to get ucx$telnet/form to work but I created a LPR port on Windows and I am able to print, but I'm not getting the windows nt banner that I have set up, I am getting a banner page in large text. Does anyone know where this banner page is? If so I could add the overlay postscript code or just try use the windows nt .sep code? Sorry for all the questions I'm not familiar in this area, many thanks.

Hi Tania,

What are the contents of your banner page ??
Anyway there is a logical to suppress flag pages from VMS . Just define the following logical:

$define/system ucx$lpd_vms_flagpages 1

Thanks & regards,
Lokesh

forgot to mention, after defining above logical, stop/restart your queue for logical to take effect.

Best wishes,
Lokesh

GrayMatter's ScriptServer is very good at handling just about any kind of network-attached Postscript or PCL printer.
