I am trying to set up print queues on VMS that can print to printers attached to novell servers. I have Novell NetWare for VMS running on the Vax, and therefore I can share files between vax/vms and pc, queues on novell can print directly to vms-queues but there is no support for redirecting queues on vms to novell servers. Does anybody know if there exists a function library for netware-vms that is similar to the function library for novell netware on ms-dos? Access to that would let me solve this. The user manual does not mantion any other manuals and the dealer didn't know. I see a kludge way to do this by testing the size of a status file on a shared volume then read from this status file information about the file to print whenever the size of the status file grows, but it would be much simpler if I could set up some kind of process to process communication between the vax and the pc. If anyone has more information about netware-vms than is in the user manual, I would like to hear from him/her. I will summerize to the net if there is interest..
