By this time in my life I should know better, but I went ahead and did it anyhow. I took the word of a DEC sales critter that they would provide the required software to drive a Printserver20 from a BSD unix system. DEC seems to be unable to deliver the software. I am sure that there is someone out there that is doing this sort of printing. Could you tell me what I need and where I can get the required sources. We have 4.3BSD source so diffs will do the job. Thanks for any help you can give me. /dan -- Dan Schlitt Manager, Science Division Computer Facility dan@sci.ccny.cuny.edu City College of New York dan@ccnysci.uucp New York, NY 10031 dan@ccnysci.bitnet (212)650-7885

My DEC sales droids have been expousing the virtues of running the DEC printserver20 from our VAXs ( VMS ) over running them from our normal Unix ( TCP/IP -lpd ) interface. Could anyone out there give me their impressions/experiences concerning this printer? We would prefer to run from the normal lpd interface. Also, an aside, does dec support tcp/ip lpd type printing from their VAX VMS machines? We can do it with 3'rd party software, but was wondering if dec supported it ( or anyone had tried this ). -- Jim Ray Harris Semiconductor Internet: jdr@semi.harris.com PO Box 883 MS 62B-022 Phone: (407) 729-5059 Melbourne, FL 32901
