Net print que don't start

[Antoniov.]

Thank to all!
My customer has changed our meeting to tomorrow because today in Italy have calculate the VAT tax!
So I cannot execute any command.
Martin, I wrong to read your post: perhaps the problem is a end of comunication.
Willen, reading your post I remember that DCPS required bidirectional handshare; so this printer could be recognized by DCPS.
And Age, DCPS V1.5 is very old. I would prefer don't change any software because I'll have check compatibilty issue; VMS is V7.1-2, upgrading required time and time and my customer is not happy of this. If DCPS V2 work on V7.1 I can upgrade it.
Philippe, I will your suggestion tomorrow.
Non I not assign points until I'll tried.

Thanks again
Antoniov

Hi Martin,
official support for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V7.2-2, V7.3, V7.3-1 and V7.3-2.

Since it's working on V6.2 I presume the list reflects the versions having either standard support or Prior Version Support. This is the version sw is checked against, But I wouldn't expect any problems on V7.1-2. See http://www.hp.com/hps/os/os_pvs_eur.html for details on supported OpenVMS versions.

So when mentioning DCPS upgrade earlier on I should also have mentioned OpenVMS version....

Hi to all,
after download Age's files, read documentation; manager guide referring TCP/IP raw printer (as xerox I've used) tell: when printer que remain in starting means wrong port number or compatibility issue. Port 9100 is right (as I've seen on PC and also it's most common printer port).
I've not seen xerox in compatibily list but I download DCPS V2.3 so tomorrow I'll install it on server.
I read DCPS can work on OpenVMS since V6.2.

Bye
Antoniov
P.S.
Age, thank for link.

I run DCPS with "foreign" printers without any problem.

DCPS Version 2.1

Don't forget to define the system wide logical

"DCPS$XEROX6200_NO_SYNC" = "TRUE"

otherwise DCPS tries to start a "dialog" with the printer before sending data, and that might not work with the lpd on AXP
