VMS Help  —  TCPIP Services, LPR_LPD, Remote Print Queues, /PARAMETERS
    TCP/IP Services supports numerous options for the DCL command
    PRINT /PARAMETERS. For example, it supports the PAGE_SIZE option
    as follows:

    $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=(PAGE_SIZE=size) /QUEUE=queue_name filename

    When you enter the PRINT /PARAMETERS=(option=value) command,
    enclose the following in quotation marks:

    o  Blanks

    o  Nonalphanumeric characters, including spaces and slashes

    You can use the following /PARAMETERS options for both local
    printing (standard DCL PRINT) and remote printing (DCL PRINT with
    LPR/LPD network services).

    DATA_TYPE          NUMBER_UP          PAGE_LIMIT
    PAGE_ORIENTATION   PAGE_SIZE          SHEET_COUNT
    SHEET_SIZE         SIDES

    For a full description of the options supported for DCL local and
    remote printing, enter the following command.

    $ HELP PRINT_PARAMETER

                                   NOTE

       This help is available only if the DECprint Supervisor
       (DCPS) software is installed on your system. See your system
       manager for more information.

    The following /PARAMETERS options are supported only for use with
    remote printing.

    HOST               MAIL
    NOFLAG             PRINTER

    o  Use the HOST and PRINTER options together to send a print job
       to any remote host and printer that do not have a specific
       print queue defined on the local system.

       In conjunction with the HOST and PRINTER options, you must
       also specify the /QUEUE qualifier. The value of /QUEUE should
       be TCPIP$LPD_OUT.

       For example, the following command specifies that the file
       PINS.LIS be sent to printer CT_LN05R on remote host BALT:

       $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=(HOST=BALT, PRINTER=CT_LN05R) /QUEUE=TCPIP$LPD_OUT PINS.LIS

       The HOST and PRINTER options allow you to use any available
       network printers without your system manager having to set
       up additional LPD remote queues for each of these printers.
       Specify the remote host name either by the host name or by
       its fully qualified domain name (such as PACE.STATS.RINGS_
       CORP.COM).

    o  The MAIL option causes the remote host to notify you through
       SMTP mail when the print job completes. The following command
       specifies the MAIL option:

       $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=MAIL /QUEUE=DPR_ANSI PINS.LIS

    o  The NOFLAG option suppresses printing of a banner (flag) page
       at an LPD queue.

       The following command specifies the NOFLAG option:

       $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=NOFLAG /QUEUE=DPR_ANSI PINS.LIS
