| 7109.1 | Here are the steps | NECSC::HARVEY | Printserver Support- America's Zone | Wed Mar 05 1997 12:22 | 21 |
| Hi,
There is not any utility to remove a LPS printer from a VMS server.
However it is quite simple:
1. Phase IV Decnet, use NCP purge and clear commands with the printers
nodename to remove it from the network databases.
Phase V use NCL commands to remove the MOP client for the printer
nodename. Then using the sys$system:decnet_register.exe utility
remove the nodename from registry database.
2. Using the sys$manager:lps$stop_daemon.com utility stop the
management daemon process for the printer.
3. Then in the lps$support directory delete all files with the
extension of the nodename of the printer. Then edit the file in the
same lps$support directory, lpsnetsetup.dat and remove the entry for
the printer nodename with all its associated data.

| 7109.2 | sheet counter | REGENT::GALLAGHER | | Wed Mar 05 1997 12:46 | 17 |

To answer the other question on sheet counters....
2)The short answer is no. What is available remotely is the PostScript
page count via the pagecount operator. This number shows up on the
startpage, for example. So, you could send a PostScript job to the
printer that will send this pagecount back to the user as
PostScript "userdata". You can have the userdata stored in a logfile
by /PARAM=MESSAGES=KEEP, as well as seeing it on the screen via
/NOTIFY.
Hope that helps your customer...

| 7109.3 | The toner is measured by volume, not pages | SHRMSG::HOWARD | Whoever it takes | Fri Mar 07 1997 16:15 | 14 |
| You can get a sheet count if you turn on Accounting for the printer.
What you get is raw data, but it is a fairly easy job to write
something to produce totals. I imagine this is fairly accurate. Of
course, toner runs out when it runs out. A page with a lot of black
uses a lot more toner than a blank page. You can't refill before it is
time, so I don't know what you are going to do with the page count.
I wonder if you could use LPS$CONCONSOLE or some variation to poll the
printer if it needs toner. The information is when you run the
program, but nobody wants to check each printer. You could run
LPS$PRISM in a Windows environment, then have someone visually check
for "Add Toner".
