170.0. "LOCAL LN03 PRINTERS" by FOOT::WRIGHT (I AM a member of this company) Thu Aug 25 1988 16:30

    Now that we have the new LN03 'local' printers I have a couple of
    questions.
    
    1) Is it possible to do a screen dump to them (if not will it be
    possible in the near future).
    
    2) Can we have the same forms on ADG as are on FUTURS (ln03_landscape
    specifically)

170.1Where should we put bug'unsHEWIE::HAYWARDConcerned of TilehurstThu Sep 08 1988 13:069

	Now that we have local printers, is it possible to restrict
	large jobs from being printed on them ?  I thought that
	they were supposed to be for small jobs & the LPS40 for the
	big ones ?

    Re 170.1 
    
    I agree, send large jobs to the LPS40(s).
    
    But if you can set up printer queues yourself you could always make a
    generic queue ,say sys$local , which is served by 2 or 3 physical
    queues. That way your small job switches to a free printer when one of
    the others is busy.
    
    /Notify should tell you which device is really printing it.

    Sounds good, Jerry.
    
    But now take pity on a poor ol' PDP man, and tell me how to do it
    (on ALL-IN-1 as well,if poss..)

170.4I know walking is good exercise, but...CRATE::DAGLESSW.Y.B.M.A.D.I.I.T.YThu Mar 02 1989 15:2210
	Currently, the LN03 queues are spread across the nodes in a
cluster in groups. The way it is currently done, means that if 1 node
goes down, all LN03's in one area become unavailable.

	Would it be possible to set adjacent printers on different nodes
to save shoe leather, ie A2A$LN03 on CHEST, A2B$LN03 on CRATE, A2C$LN03
on CHEST etc.
