Modify printer settings creted in TCPIP$LPRSETUP
The manual mentions you can modify settings by specifying 2 character printcap symbols but where/how is this achieved?
Thanks in advance

Re: Modify printer settings creted in TCPIP$LPRSETUP
TCPIP$LPRSETUP only allows you to 'delete' or 'add' printers, but not to modify existing entries. Either delete the printer and re-add it with correct settings or consider to manually edit the TCPIP$LPD_PRINTCAP file.
The manual may refer to the following inside the dialog of adding a new printer:
...
The names of the printcap symbols are:
sd for the printer spool directory

Re: Modify printer settings creted in TCPIP$LPRSETUP
SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$LPD]:TCPIP$PRINTCAP.DAT.
The SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$LPRSETUP.EXE documentation indicates the tool can be used to modify the settings, but not (grumble) how. With View? I've always gone after printcap directly...
Here are some details:

Re: Modify printer settings creted in TCPIP$LPRSETUP
if you SEARCH TCPIP$LPRSETUP.EXE for the string 'modify', you'll even find a help text line containing:
Modifying a printer entry, type '?' for help.
but 'modify' is not accepted as a valid command ;-(
Maybe a call should be logged to HP to ask for either fixing the tool or the documentation.

Re: Modify printer settings creted in TCPIP$LPRSETUP
Once you've made the change, issue a STOP/RESET and then a START on the queue, and the print symbiont will re-read the PRINTCAP file.
