I am running ultrix 4.0 on a ds5000. The printers I have access to, an ln03 and an apple laserwriter, are hooked up to a vax running vms. Althoug it is easy to set up printcap to treat these as remote printers, passing options to them does not work, because vms controls printing options by "forms." Has anybody any recommendations for for setting up these remote printers to allow some control over printing options, e.g. portrait vs landscape or even just getting the laserwriter to print in postscript? (The managers of the vax did not even set up the laserwriter so that the default form was postscript!) ***** Wahoo 5 ***** erik sowa (sowa@amdew.llnl.gov, sowa@cms1.llnl.gov)
