Re: How to create lpt port
It depends, you have many symbionts available in VMS.
If you use LPD, just run the config tool, and answer the questions (the most important being the printer name and IP address)
$ mc tcpip$lprsetup
(needs to enable and start LPD before, with @sys$startup:tcpip$config).
You can also use
TELNETSYM

Re: How to create lpt port
Does Your VMS system have a parallel port ?
use SHOW DEVICE LR: to check.
If yes, then in the simplest form, define a print queue feeding the parallel port:
$INITIALIZE/QUEUE/DEVICE=PRINTER/PROCESSOR=PRTSMB/ON=LRA0: LPT
$ DEFINE /SYSTEM $PRINTER LRA0:
$ SET PRINTER /NOWRAP /NOTRUNCATE /CR /POLLED $PRINTER
$ SET DEVICE /SPOOLED=(LPT, SYS$SYSDEVICE:) $PRINTER
$ START /QUEUE LPT
$! see HELP SET PRINTER how to set printer characteristics.
$! see HELP INITIALIZE /QUEUE
A PRINT/QUEUE=LPT will send the file to the LR: port.
Now depending on the printer type (Postscript,PCL,...?), You will need a symbiont other than PRTSMB to handle different data-types.
As far I know, DCPS does not support unidirectional LR: devices (but maybe I'm not up to date).
For postscript printers, there is the freeware LASER symbiont available on the VMS freeware.

Navigate to the IP shelf, and open and search the "HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management" manual for details of doing this with TCP/IP Services IP stack.
