Printing from Putty?

[apv746]

I am using a telnet session from Windows workstation to connect to the OpenVMS host. I wrote something in the VI Editor and I just want to know how can I print that VI file using Putty?

[apv746]

I am using a local printer and not a remote one.

When I want to print my text file in VI it shows this:

$ print andy.txt
%PRINT-F-CREJOB, error creating job
-JBC-E-NOSUCHQUE, no such queue

How can I solve this matter in order to print from VI (or any screen) using PUTTY and Im also using a local printer.

'vi' is not a normal editor on OpenVMS, but I suppose you coudl have GNV or such installed.

Is the printer connected to the VMS system or to the PC?

Putty is just a window onto the VMS system.

So to print a file you edited i would...
$TYPE file
Highlight file contents in putty window with mouse drag
Create notepad or winword or such pc-local editor window
Past (^V) the highlighted text.
Tweak format as needed.
Ask for print from file menu in pc editor.

Good luck,
Hein.

The printer is connected to my PC and not to the VMS host.

I addition to Hein's suggestion: Putty allows LOGGING. You may specify logfile name and location and what to log.
Just TYPE the file inside VMS.
But note, that all session output is logged.

In addition to my last post:
You may activate the ALT key (in windows behaviour) to start the system menu in your session. The you can change the chars and activate logging, TYPE your file and disabe logging.

FTP the file (as ASCII) to the PC?

Use the cut and paste to notepad quite a lot though.
