3258.0. "Printer Ques" by RICKS::AKHIANI () Fri Aug 24 1990 12:36

 The following logicals are defined in our system,

(LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_ANSI" = "ANSI_FAST40"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_LINE" = "SYS$PRINT"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_PS" = "PS_FAST40"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_TEXT" = "SYS$LN03"

 This take away the option of choosing a printer in any DECW application 
 that uses the (I guess) "print widget"

 Is there a way to get the option back without removing the above logicals
 form the SYSTEM_TABLE ?

[ This orginally put in SYSTEM_TABLE as a default value for printers 
 (so the users that don't care about choosing a queue, print to the 
  default que) ]

What makes you think so?    Perhaps what you want is to define a list of
queues for each type.  For example, here's what I have:

  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_ANSI" = "LN03_NB4,ANSI_PROTON,ANSI_PS2,CLU_LN03"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_ANSI2" = "LN03_NB4,ANSI_PROTON,ANSI_PS2,CLU_LN03"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_LINE" = "CLU_PRINT"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_PS" = "PS_PROTON,PS_PS2"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_REGIS" = "SYS$NULL"
  "DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_TEXT" = "LN03_NB4,ANSI_PROTON,ANSI_PS2,CLU_PRINT"
