1356.0. "DECwindows & Print Screen help" by CRONIC::PAGE () Fri Sep 01 1989 14:48

    Hi
    
    I am the proud owner of a 3100 and an  LJ250 Color printer attached
    to it.  I would like to do a "print Screen" to the printer, using
    DECWindows..Chapter 6 and 7 did not help in my doing so....
    
    Does my system manager have to put this printer onto a DECserver and
    create a printer queue for this LJ250?  Or is there an easier way?
    
    Thanks a lot

    I believe you got no answer because your questions sound like a joke.
    
    Yes you need to have your printer connected to your system. Either
    you are in a LAVC (Local Area Vax Cluster) and your 3100 boots from
    the host, and the printer should be connected to it and a printer
    queue set up on this system, or you are in a stand-alone configuration
    and it should be connected on a TTxx terminal port (and a printer
    queue created as well).
    
    Then you use the SESSION MANAGER window, ask in the PRINT menu the
    print feature you want executed (start with a "portion of screen"),
    then you will enter a SETUP menu where you will have to select the
    appropriate settings for your color (?) printer, ask for 1 copy,
    validate and wait for something to happen.
    
    (you're welcome)
