Decserver firmware for 700-16

[Lachnitt_1]

Hi folks,

I've the task to print from HP-UX (I know i'm in the VMS forum :-D) to Printers which are plugged to Digital Decservers 700-16.

They've NAS SW V1.5 loaded. This version has never heard from LPD!

Now my question: Does anybody has a version for me for DS 700-16 which supports LPD??? (that i can take a sneak preview on it and can test if printing from HP-UX is satisfying our needs)

Thx in advice, Kuddel!

Hi Mark,

I don't think there is a LPDserver in any DECserver.....

Can't you use raw socket ? or relay the queue through a Windows server ( that use raw socket ) ?

Hmmmm.... I was to fast.....

Who is using the printer today ?? VMS ? Windows ?

VMS uses it!

[Hakan Zanderau ( Anders]

VMS can LPDserve its already existing queue(s).

Talk to the admin of the VMSserver.
If they don't know how to setup the LPDserver,
let me know.

You misunderstood me.
I want to print from HP UX via a lpd queue to the decserver as a remote printer. This is supported with NAS Software V2.2 for the Decserver(includes lpd on the decserver!!!)! And I need a WWENG2.SYS with this Version!

Good Luck !
