Is there a way to set a queue to accept PASSALL

[Chaim Budnick]

I know that there is a a /passall qualifier for the print command.

Is ther a way to set the queue so that all print jobs sent to it will be passall?

Chaim,

AFAIK not for every queue, but if you have set up queues with the TELNET symbiont, you can define the logical name TCPIP$TELNETSYM_RAW_TCP to 1 in the system table.

These are LPD queues which have been defined via MULTINET on NLP devices.

Kris, Chaim,

The TCPIP$TELNETSYM_RAW_TCP logical name, instructs the telnetsym to use a "RAW" tcp connection. This means that there is no TELNET protocol on this connection. Telnet protocol uses FF(hex) character for escape character. This character is followed by an TELNET command. You need this logical name if the printer server (or printer) doesnt support telnet protocol (and many of them does not).

The /PASSALL qualifier instructs the queue to not interpret the contents (mostly form feeds and line feeds).

Bojan,

I stand corrected.

Chaim,

We're not using Multinet over here. So I can't be of any assistance. However, something I've found on the net:

Hi Chaim,

There is a very crude way of defining it by making use of symbols. You can define the following symbol for a particular queue....

PRINTPASS=="PRI /queue=LPD$print /PASSALL"

This would ensure any application wanting to print with a particular queue uses passall.
