LPD print to file?
the goal is to print VMS output on an XEROX printer using "secure print" (printing on demand by entering PIN code). The idea is to put an LPD print file (which contains the needed username in its header) onto a Windows file share and let some Windows software do the processing. The question is how to get the file not printed but with the header to the file share. Any ideas?

Easiest? Arguably, use EXECSYMB (referenced in most or all of the above) to get the file to a computer somewhere that supports IPP or related. Possibly with something as simple as a COPY /FTP, sftp, or such file transfer operation.
Conceivably, a remote relay queue could be used, too.
If you're inclined, create a symbiont that supports ipp, or whatever this unspecified Xerox printer uses. Or switch to a stack with ipp support.

You can stop the target queue, then use a batch job to pick up the temporary relay file and do what you want with it.
It will contain all the usual VMS flag page info, including the username, etc.

Re: LPD print to file?
There's also commercial Windows LPD Daemons that will allow you write the file to disk, and manipulate it on the way, i.e. store LPD header info with the file. I can't remember what one I use off the top of my head - sorry.

Re: LPD print to file?
An alternative is to move to a submission path that generates whatever the Xerox printer requires here for this submission path; to configure and to operate direct printing on OpenVMS. To extricate the use of Windows from this print path. There are various vendor-specific protocols here, and there's stuff like IPP.
