Your system manager can configure your system with LPR/LPD
network services that allow you to use the DCL command PRINT
to send print jobs to a print queue on a remote internet host.
The remote host can be a UNIX system or another OpenVMS system
running LPR/LPD.
You print a local file at a printer on a remote host by
specifying the remote queue name defined on your local host (see
your system manager for queue names). LPD copies the file to the
appropriate remote printer's spool directory. A copy of the file
to be printed remains in the spooling queue until the printer is
ready to print it.
When you enter the DCL command PRINT to send a print job to a
remote print queue, you use the /QUEUE qualifier to specify the
queue name, plus any of the following qualifiers:
/AFTER /BACKUP /BEFORE /BY_OWNER
/CONFIRM /COPIES /CREATED /DELETE
/EXCLUDE /EXPIRED /FORM /HEADER
/HOLD /IDENTIFY /JOB_COUNT /MODIFIED
/NAME /NOTE /OPERATOR /PARAMETERS
/PASSALL /PRIORITY /QUEUE /SETUP
/SINCE /USER /WIDTH
Two of these qualifiers work differently with TCP/IP Services
than they do in an OpenVMS environment without TCP/IP Services.
These two qualifiers are:
o /FORM
o /PARAMETERS
NOTE
TCP/IP Services does not support layup definition files for
print requests to remote print queues. A layup definition
file sets up the layup features: borders, sheet margins,
alternating margins, pages per sheet, first page, page
order, and page grid.
