[comp.sys.sgi] DEC LN03 printers

anand@crysiris.rice.edu (Anand Kolatkar) (11/30/90)

	Thus, I was wondering if anyone has managed to connect a Digital
	LN03 laser printer to an Iris 4d/20 or Iris VGX system?

	I would appreciate any info you could give me about how this might
	be done.  We have an Emulex server which can connect the Irises
	to the LN03.  
				
	Please E-mail me at anand@crysiris.rice.edu 
	Thanks in advance.

If you have it spooled on a VAX terminal server queue or attached directly 
to a VAX port, you can use the 4DDN (SGI's Decnet) in order to issue a 
copy of your file to the laser printer: 

% dncp myfile.dat vax::lta9944: 

which is basically starting a FAL on the VAX which acts as printer daemon. 
4DDN release 2.0 will contain a more comfortable command but the method 
is the same. 

Hope this helps,
