5424.0. "PRINTER SETUP IN LAN" by ZPOVC::SATISHKUMAR () Wed Apr 09 1997 22:58

Hello,
	
	I'm trying to setup a DEClaser 3500 laser printer in 
	the LAN.  The printer will be connected to the LAN 
	via BNC and has a valid IP address & hostname.  The 
	requirement is to print both from PC (pathworks share)
	and from VMS.

	In the process, I've checked the UCX LPD SERVICE, 
	UCX_LPD account in SYSUAF database, and the proxy 
	for remote access, its all fine. I've added the 
	queue using UCX$LPRSETUP and it has updated the 
	UCX$PRINTCAP.DAT file.  
	
	I've stoped and started the UCX$LPD service. The queue
	is not created automatically.  So, I added the DCL 
	command to LPD startup file, to start the queue.  But
	when it starts, it gives an error "invalid device name".
	The command is as below - 

	$ init/que/owner=[1,4] /retain=eror /device=server -
		/process=ucx$telnetsym/prote=(s:e,g:r,w:w,o:d) -
		LN14S_30E7
	$ start/que LN14S_30E7
	
	What should be the device name ?
	Am I doing/proceeding right for my requirement ?
	If I'm wrong somebody correct me.
    
	Any information or pointer will be of great help.

thanx

This queue has nothing to do with LPD. What you are trying to do is using
telnet printing. If I am correct the DEClaser uses port 10001 for this.
Your init/queue should also has a /on="printername:10001" added to it.
