Problems with priter forms

[Adrian Gehrig]

We have just updated a DS15 machine from 7.3-1 to 7.3-2. After the update the queue manager didn't start again. So I configured a new one. Since then I am not able to print anymore. The pice of paper that comes out is saying

%DCPS-F-SETUPNOTFOUND, Setup module SMALL132 not found

The following is my form definition:

H132 (stock=DEFAULT) 202 Hoch 132
/LENGTH=96 /MARGIN=(BOTTOM=6) /SETUP=(SMALL132) /STOCK=DEFAULT /TRUNCATE /WIDTH=132

That was first with DCPS 2.2 since the error message sayd something about setup not found I installed the newer 2.4 version - still the samme problem.

Anyone has a clue how this can be fixed - I didn't find a solution in the openvms documentation. Thanks in advance

Adrian,

the form H132 wants to load a module SMALL132 from a device control library. Where did you put the SMALL132 in? DCPS has its own lib named DCPS$DEVCTL, but normally you would not put your own modules in here. We use a seperate lib called DCPS_DEVCTL and use a logical name DCLS$LIB to give it to DCPS.

$ SH LOG DCPS$LIB

"DCPS_LIB" = "DCPS$DEVCTL"
= "DCPS_DEVCTL/DATA_TYPE=ANSI"
= "DCPS_DEVCTL/DATA_TYPE=LIST"
= "SYSDEVCTL/DATA_TYPE=ANSI"
= "SYSDEVCTL/DATA_TYPE=LIST"

You can check with LIBR/LIS/TEXT ..., which modules are included.

Kalle,

Thanks for your answer. That's what I found out with your help:

sho log dcps_lib
"DCPS_LIB" = "DCPS$DEVCTL" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
= "SYSDEVCTL/DATA=ANSI"
= "LN03FORMS/DATA=ANSI"

The module is in the SYSDEVCTL library.

The queue is set up as follows:
Printer queue LJ2430, idle, on NODE::"IP_RawTCP/printerIP:9100", mounted form H132 (stock=DEFAULT)
/AUTOSTART_ON=(NODE::"IP_RawTCP/printerIP:9100") /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FORM=DCPS$DEFAULT (stock=DEFAULT))
/NOENABLE_GENERIC /LIBRARY=DCPS_LIB Lowercase /OWNER=[SYSMGR,SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=DCPS$SMB /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S)
/SCHEDULE=(NOSIZE)

The funy thing is, that on an other node with the same printers definition it work okay...

After a reboot the printer forms are working again...
