1748.0. "Paper Mail Problems in V3.0" by KERNEL::SMITHERSJ (Living on the culinary edge....) Tue Nov 10 1992 14:59

    It looks like Paper Mail doesn't like being printed on DQS printers
    either.  I guess maybe these are treated like a logical as they point
    to a printer on another system?
    
    If I change the printer field in profile to a ordinary print queue,
    it works OK, it's just when printing to a server DQS queue.
    
    Could someone confirm/deny whether this is the known problem in V3.0. If
    not, can anyone think of  a workaround at all?
    
    Many thanks

1748.1	DQS queues are now 'Server' queues	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4A	`Tue Nov 10 1992 19:41`	17
	There are four types of VMS queues - Printer, Terminal, Batch and Server. ALL-IN-1 queue management regards Printer and Terminal queues as the same, and refers to them as Print queues. DQS queues used to have a VMS queue type of 'Printer' but it appears that a new version of DQS is now setting the VMS queue type to 'Server'. The Paper Mail code checks that a queue has a VMS queue type of 'Printer' or 'Terminal', which is why DQS queues used to be allowed but don't work with the new version of DQS. I can't think of a work around. Logical names won't help because the queue management system services will translate them to get the real queue name before getting queue information. Richard
1748.2	restriction?	AIMTEC::BUTLER_T		`Wed May 12 1993 17:54`	12
	Hello: I just got a call from a specialist on-site wondering if there is a patch available for this "server queues." Also, is this considered a restriction for v3.0? I cound find nothing where this had been reported, suggested, etc.. Thanks, Tim
1748.3	I think it's been reported...	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	on the Streets of San Francisco	`Wed May 12 1993 18:05`	0

	Well, far be it from me to spoil anyones fun (Andy?), but these cases have been answered. The answer hasn't been checked and QA'd yet though, so it shouldn NOT be released as "the answer" to customers just yet. You should be able to check the idea though. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your SPR concerning Paper Mail and DQS based print queues. As you have stated, DQS print queues appear as Server queues and as such are not accepted for purposes of Paper Mail. We have examined your problem and have concluded that it is a restriction of ALL-IN-1 V3.0 and V3.0-1 which has been triggered by changes in the queue management software. We will assess this problem for possible inclusion in any future release of ALL-IN-1 but until that time we would recommend that you try the following workaround: Create a Generic queue using the DCL command: $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/GENERIC=(dqs-queue-name) generic-queue-name This should create a generic printer queue which will re-direct jobs to the underlying DQS queue. This should prove sufficient to circumvent your immediate problems. Thank you for your interest in ALL-IN-1. * CHINNICK 11-MAY-1993 14:00 * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- What's more... I bet if you looked on your system, someone in EIS would have already set things up this way! Paul.
1748.6	Nothing to do with me	OASS::WICKS_A	Node AIMTEC unavailable, why Iain?	`Fri May 14 1993 16:06`	11
	Paul, I'm not sure what my "fun" has to do with it but if by answering any or all open SPRs you spoil it feel free. Alas, without access to my beloved TIME system i am forced to go on the information listed in STARS which is what was originally in .3. Regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
1748.7	Give them enough rope...	IOSG::CHINNICK	gone walkabout	`Tue May 18 1993 10:45`	11
	"answering any or all open SPRs" ...? Not b..... likely! ;-) And "beloved TIME system" - we know what job to give you if you ever come back to IOSG ! Cheers, Paul.
