Re: Redirecting OpenVMS queue to Windows queue
Can you give us some examples or syntax on how to perform this task on OpenVMS?
Thank you in advance.

Re: Redirecting OpenVMS queue to Windows queue
unless you specifically need LPD queues, I'd use TELNETSYM to print :-
$ INIT queuename /QUEUE /FORM=xxx /AUTO=node::"address:port" /PROC=TCPIP$TELNETSYM /START
e.g.
$ INIT MYQUE /FORM=DEFAULT /AUTO=KANSAS::"saleshp:9100" /PROC=TCPIP$TELNETSYM /START
Most HP's work from port 9100, and this method will avoid a lot of LPD headaches.
Rob.

Re: Redirecting OpenVMS queue to Windows queue
please consider the previous answers REAL seriously!
_IF_ however, there still exists a compelling reason to print to a M$-controlled print setup (eg. some package for Secure Printing that is only available on M$, but MUST also be used from VMS - been there, been hurt by that), _AND_, you need your VMS-way of print setup (by way of setup-modules and/or print qualifiers), then you CAN get that done, at the cost of some effort.
- use a (eg: LATSYM ) symbiont to merge all modules etc into one integrated printfile (imitating the *UX or M$ PrinterDriver) out to a spoolfile.
- LPD-print that file to the M$ system
- (on M$) spool that file onto the actual printer.
Summary: now you need THREE (2 VMS + 1 M$) queues per printer; and what you get in return is nightmares of printproblem debugging.
If the first queue delivers the print (barring spool Device Full situations: always) your users receive "Successfull Completion", but any problem in LPD-to-M$, on M$, M$-to-printer, and in the printer, just leads to "Where is my output, it was printed ok!".
But if your management insists, there IS a way!
Wishing you wisdom & patience on that.
Proost.
Have one on me (maybe in May in Nashua?)

Re: Redirecting OpenVMS queue to Windows queue
I'm not sure the syntax for setting up LPR/LPD using Multinet.
BUT.....the printcap-parameters "rm" & "rp" should point to your PC and the shared queue.
rm = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ( or hostname )
rp = printshare on PC

I used to work at Digital/Compaq/HP Customer Support Center in Stockholm, Sweden. One of my special skills were (still are) setting upp printerqueues in complex environments.

Re: Redirecting OpenVMS queue to Windows queue
Ian Miller has kindly helped by suggesting EXECSYMB, but I'd like to know if there are any other ways to 'skin the cat'.
Thanks, Robert.

Re: Redirecting OpenVMS queue to Windows queue
There is no such thing as "LPD headace" ;-)
See the different symbionts as different tools in a toolbox.
One advantage of LPD is to target QUEUES on remote nodes. PRTSMB, LATSYM, TELNETSYM all targets PORTS. One disadvantage of LPD is that it sucks when it comes to formatting......
That's why we use TELNET-relay queue to combine two symbionts, one to format and one to send the job to a remote queue.
The original question was to target a QUEUE on a remote host......wich requires LPR/LPD.
