105.0. "LN03 fonts for DOCUMENT" by CHEST::BARKER (Rudolf the Red knows rain, dear.) Tue Dec 22 1987 17:31

    Whats all this rumour about LN03 for DOCUMENT expiring on Jan 1st?
    (More details in UK_DIGITAL) 
    
    Will it affect us, or have you already got it sorted.

    Ha!
    
    That'll teach you to rely on technology.

�        Will it affect us, or have you already got it sorted.
    
    Well.....its all a question of timing. We have ordered the replacement
    fonts, but (what with the Christmas rush and everything) they may
    not be here by Jan 1st, so you may find that you are without LN03
    support for a while.
    
    You should also be aware that, as these font licences cost a bomb
    (in terms of what we are used to paying for s/w (i.e. nill)), and
    as one licence only covers one cpu, generation of LN03 type documents
    will be restricted to one CPU (probably FOOT). To reduce the load
    impact, access to these files may have to be restricted to batch
    only.

105.3LN03 queue changesFOOT::THOMPSONWed Dec 23 1987 17:309
    The LN03 printers (2 of them) will no longer be connected to VAX
    printer queues after Christmas.
    
    Instead, they'll be available for use from terminals/standalone
    micros for high quality office printing. There will be one on each
    floor.
    
    In the event of the LPS40 printer breaking down  they'll be reinstalled
    in the printer room and the LN03 queues restarted.
105.4LPS40 parts shortageRDGE28::THOMPSONWed Jan 06 1988 10:1616
    Now that we can't print .LN3 files on the LN03's until the new
    licence arrives, fate has taken a cruel twist and effectively wiped
    out the LPS40!
    
    Not only has it developed a hardware fault in the optical unit,
    but we've also run out of toner for it. In fact quite a lot of people
    have run out of toner including DEC Park and Enterprise House.
    
    And the good news?....the expected delivery date of the next batch is 
    is mid-January (for an order placed on December 17th)

    So our printing capacity is about 50% of what it should be until
    the toner is delivered. Can I therefore suggest that we moderate the size
    of our print jobs on the remaining printers and (where possible) do
    local printing.         
    
105.5update pleaseCHEST::BARKERGoing downhill fastFri Jan 22 1988 15:369
    Any chance of an update on the LN03 DOCUMENT font problem.
    
    I have a new release of DDMLS coming up in mid-Feb and would like
    to distribute the doc's in LN03 format.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Chris.
    
105.6Licence updateFOOT::THOMPSONTue Jan 26 1988 10:365
    The expected delivery date of the licence kit is "End of March 1988".
    
    Until the LPS40 becomes more reliable one LN03 will remain as a
    printer on the ADG cluster so we have at least one laser printer
    available, albeit a noddy one.

105.8DOCUMENT licence installedFOOT::THOMPSONFri Mar 04 1988 16:013
    The LN03 fonts have been installed on FOOT on the ADG cluster. It's
    now possible to compile using DOCUMENT for output to the LN03
    printer queue.

    What's the situation now for LN03 fonts on the FUTURS cluster ?
