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
