I've successfully configured a PWRINT service as followed:
PWPRINTMGR> sh que pw32
Queue Name : PW32
Node name or address : PCJAY
Protocol : DECNET
Connect type : DIRECT
Location or printer : DECLASER
Userid : Password :
Translation
$ sh que/full pw32
Printer queue PW32, idle, on TESTER::, mounted form DEFAULT
<PATHWORKS Printer Services >
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=DEFAULT) /LIBRARY=PWPRINT
/OWNER=[SYSTEM]
/PROCESSOR=PWPRINT /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /RETAIN=ERROR
/SEPARATE=(RESET=(END))
To add a litte flavor, I mapped a Pathworks for VMS (Macintosh) printer
service to the existing PWRINT queue.
MSA$MANAGER> sh print/full
Print service "PW32" in Zone "*"
for queue PW32
Process MSAP$RCVR0
/PPD=DC2150P1.PPD;1
/PARAMETERS=(DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT)
From chooser I select the "PW32" service configured with 2150 ppd, the
selected word document is submitted and is copied to v7.0 print server
and the status reports printing, but no output is delivered.
Is this the expected behavior?

Did you test the connectivity between the VMS PWPRINT client and the PWPRINT server (TEST QUEUE from PWPRINTMGR) ? Did you setup the PWPRINT server so that it listens to DECnet (it uses TCP/IP only by default) ? Vincent | |||||

Test queue from PWPRINTMGR produces the correct output, along with DCL
printing and via a LAN Manager print share.

OK. PostScript problem then maybe ? Would note 60 and its replies explain what you're seeing ? Vincent | |||||

Hi Wayne,
>> Is this the expected behavior?
Yes, although we don't explicitly mention PATHWORKS/VMS (Macintosh), in
PWREADME.TXT, we do mention PWPRINT's inability to do ascii/ps
conversion:
"As a consequence, PRINT/PARAMETER=(...) commands, used for
| example to convert ANSI documents to PostScript, are not
| available for PATHWORKS 32 Print Services queues."
Maybe my understanding is flagging a bit, but, as I understand it, the
MSA Symbiont will attempt to do PS conversion, hence the
"DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT".
Remember, it's designed to allow you to print from VMS, and as such, we
didn't test Macintosh clients against it.

Simon,
Thanks for your comment, understanding that the goal is to print from
VMS, as a across platforms statement maybe this could be included as a
future.
