Does anyone know how to print to a LAT printer from Ultrix2.0. In the printcap man page I've found the op (object port) and ts (terminal server) options, but otherwise I don't have any idea how to set up printcap to spool to the Decserver (or anything else I have to do!!). I have configured the kernel for LAT (and consequently can log into the Ultrix machine from Decserver ports), and I can print to the Decserver printers from our VMS machines, but I don't have any idea how to print from the Ultrix machine. Any help would be appreciated. --Mike Meyer, Statistics, Carnegie-Mellon University. (mikem@andrew.cmu.edu)

I am assuming that you have the DECserver port configured correctly as you can printto it from a VMS host. 1. Edit /etc/rc.local ... your lcp line which looks like this: /etc/lcp -s & echo -n ' lat' >/dev/console Should look like this: /etc/lcp -s -h /dev/ttyXX & echo -n ' lat' >/dev/console (ttyXX should be replaced with whatever terminal port on your machine you are using.) 2. Edit /dev/ttys to make sure nothing is running on ttyXX ttyXX "/etc/getty 2" vt100 off nomodem 3. kill -1 1 to goose (technical term... sorry can't explain it) the init process 4. Edit printcap. For example: lp3|ln03|laser printer on LAT:\ :fc#0177777:fs#023:lp=/dev/ttyXX:\ :op=PORT_11:ts=LAT_xxxxxxxxxx:\ :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:sd=/usr/spool/lp3: In place of the 'xxxxxxxxxxx' insert the ethernet hardware addresses of the DECserver. In place of PORT_11 use whatever port it is connected to (EG, PORT_6, PORT_1....) 5. mkdir /usr/spool/lp3 This *should* work. Fred
