[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] print/batch jobs to MVS

ddk@lanl.gov (David D Kaas) (03/18/90)

  I am looking for some information on TCP/IP running on MVS.

Are there any implementations of lpr?  If not are there any other
ways of tranferring print/plot files to an MVS machine with TCP/IP from
a UNIX machine?

Are there any programs that allow jobs to be submitted to an MVS machine
over TCP/IP from a UNIX machine?
 
Thanks in advance.

Yes.  ACCES/MVS from ACC includes a print server for the UNIX lpr
command.

ACCES/MVS supports an ftp server that allows data transfers to MVS to be 
submitted as a batch job to MVS via the JES Internal Reader facility.

For more information, contact ACC (try (301)290-8100).

We too have the ACCES/MVS software, but we find the lpr server
almost unusable because of insufficient ID information on the
resulting banner pages (i.e. each lpr print job appears to be
owned by user "acces/mvs").

Has anybody else gotten lpr to work with better ID information
on banner pages?
