Has anyone tried to do reverse LAT from a DECstation 3100
to set up a printer? We have a Datability terminal server that
we have used to set up printers for a VMS node and we would
like to add another printer for the ULTRIX node.
I created the LAT devices (they seem to work, we can log in via
the terminal server)
I then went into /etc/tty and changed one of the LAT lines to
tty16 none vt100 off
I then did "kill -HUP 1" to set it up.
Then I edited the printcap file and did...
lp|lp0:\
:af=/usr/adm/lpacct:\
:br#9600:\
:fc#0177777:\
:fs#03:\
:if=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/ln03of:\

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
:ts=DENISE:\
:xc#0177777:\
:xf=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/xf:\
:xs#044000:
Terminal server DENISE has many printers on it that work from the
VMS side.
Then I did a "lcp -h /dev/tty16:DENISE:PORT_19" to reserve the port
for host initiated requests.
When I print to the device it can't connect, when I copy a file to /dev/tty16
it says...
# cp printcap /dev/tty16
cp: /dev/tty16: Can't assign requested address
#
Any ideas??
thanks in advance,

As a starting point, the lcp -h with server/port and the printcap entry are more or less mutually exclusive. lcp -h does a static association of the LAT port with a tty device and the printcap entry does a dynamic assocation. Try just using the lcp -h /dev/ttyXX form and see if that gets you any further. You may get some message is your lp-error log file if you're lucky... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

I have my DECstation 3100 set up for it. Enclosed is my printcap file,
and the lcp command from rc.local.

We had the same problem with the Datability terminal server. Printing or copying from VMS worked just fine but not from Ultrix. Our solution was to get a ROM upgrade from the Datability folks. The terminal server needs to be at rev level 2.72 or better if memory serves me correctly. In any event call the Datability people they can set you straight. If you need help with lcp or printcap let me know. hal DECnet: usu::hal, usumua::hal Internet: hal@cc.usu.edu, hal@mua.usu.edu phone: (801)750-2380
