| The new part for the LPS40 has been fitted and it appears from the
large wodge of A4 paper spewed out that the backlog of print
jobs from the last week has been processed.

Well, it just goes to show how the skills of the engineers are
dropping. When I was there, we didn't have to resort to blood
sacrifices, judicious use of the prayer mat was usually sufficient!
Mind you, the odd whack with the quarter mallet used to work wonders
too!

If we sacrifice enough goats would it be possible for a
SHOW QUE LPS40$EYE to show if the printserver(grovel grovel) had
run out of paper or if there was an error on the LPS40$EYE?

| 127.5 | Use /NOTIFY | THROAT::CLARK | ASC, a mad Scot | Thu Jun 02 1988 13:26 | 7 |
| If you use PRINT/NOTIFY, the LPS40 will send you messages when your
job is printing; it will tell you when it starts and finishes, when
the paper tray is empty, when the paper has jammed, etc. That way
you will know when to toddle along to the printer and clear your
own jams ;-)

Hi Pete,
I can perhaps help with this problem??....:-)
VMS thinks that 'TIFY' means tea & muffins (1930's vintage) which
if you relate to 193... movies (BBC repeats!!!) means that the
Butler (VMS Systems Services requests) will tell you when it is
time for 'TIFY'.
As VMS was developed under Americaneese, the translation got slightly
out of context, and in fact reversed.Consequently VMS system trans-
lation of NO_TIFY, means "tell the buggers that I have a message"
BTW. Notify switch needs 4 characters (NOTI) to escape the 'parse'
otherwise the butler does sulk, and gives a wondeful meaningless
message... :-) :-)

Unfortunately this only works whilst your job is printing, it
wont tell you while your job is in the print queue.

| 127.11 | If everybody used /NOTIFY it would be fine | THROAT::CLARK | ASC, a mad Scot | Wed Jun 08 1988 09:30 | 5 |
| That's all right by me; I'm not going to clear other peoples paper
jams. Perhaps if Mr. Sys Mangler could set things up such that /NOTIFY
was the default.

Do you mean to say that if you walk into the print room for youre
print job and there is a paper jam holding up a job in front of
yours you just walk out again without bothering to clear the paper
jam? :-|
