683.0. "Printer Queue on VS2000 - which device?" by BOOTME::LOVELL (Life in the 20% Lane) Wed Apr 26 1989 12:38

Hi,

	I'm trying to set up a print queue for an LN03R on a VS2000 running
DECwindows.  I've two basic problems in doing this ;

	i) I don't know what device terminology VMS uses
	   for the 9-pin VS2000 printer port.

	ii) If this device is TTA0 (as I suspect) then I don't
	    understand why the DECwindows server has it allocated
	    nor how to release it for general spooled use.

Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks,
Chris.

    re: .0
    
    The 9-pin connector is TTA3: and the RS323 one is TTA2:
    
    
    Here is how I setup an LN03 on TTA2:
    
$LN03:
$ say "Starting LN03 queue"
$ set term tta3: /perm /eightbit /nobroadcast /notypeahead /nowrap -
	/interactive /hostsync /ttsync /form /tab /noecho /noescape /pasthru -
	/sixel /speed=9600 /width=400 /page=0 /device_type=(ln03)
$ set protection=(s:rwlp,o:rwlp,g:rwlp,w:rwlp)/device tta3:
$ set device tta3:/spooled=('node'$printer,spool$disk)
$ init/que 'node'$printer/start/on='node'::tta3: -
	/default=(form=ln03,noflag,nofeed)/library=ln03fonts/terminal
$ goto READ_OPTION
