I want to be able to hook up printers on terminalservers, so that we can place our printers anywhere in the house. We use Ultrix on DECStations version 3.1. Our terminalservers are Bridge CS200. As far as I understand you can assign one of the physical ports on the terminalserver to have a separate IP address. What's needed then, is some kind of software that will send open a (TCP?) connection to that IP address, and send the print job to that port. Does anyone know of such software, and will the solution I suggest do the job? I do not know a lot about terminalservers, but I suppose it contains the software needed to handle TCP connections, directing the output to the physical port on the terminalserver assigned to the printer. Thanks in advance. -Klaus |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Klaus Harbo | | | Euromath Center | e-mail: harbo@euromath.dk | | Universitetsparken 5 | phone: +45 3135 3133 ext. 417 | | DK-2100 Copenhagen | fax: +45 3135 0427 | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| -- |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Klaus Harbo | | | Euromath Center | e-mail: harbo@euromath.dk |

I've mailed you a shar file of a program I wrote called tsprintd. It works on a Convex which has 4.3/sun based networking. It also requires named pipes. Should work on Ultrix unless you have no named pipes. If not you should be able to hack it to run differently. The basic networking code to get to the terminal server. It seems to work with most terminal servers, but it depends on the server. Have fun...
