437.0. "Queueless installation" by CUPOLA::HAKKARAINEN (Albatross!) Thu May 28 1987 16:55

    I just received a call from a system manager who has a system with
    no printers. While installing Document (bl8), he wondered if there
    had to be queues for the specified destinations. (The writers will
    process their files on this system and then ship them elsewhere
    for printing.) I said that the absence of queues should cause no
    problem, except for an occasional error message if the user forgot
    /noprint.
    
    Wishlist for V2 or so: decouple destination support (fonts, etc.)
    from queuing info, particularly during installation. This also applies
    to systems where a writer will use View for preview of the document,
    but never print to the ln01 device.

    I think you can do that anyway, by specifying 
    
    \exclude_action=(print)
    
    In an entry for a destination in DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT

    You have to have a destination on the DOCUMENT command line,
    and the only easy way to get one is to supply it at installation
    time.  The queue name can be garbage as long as you always
    say /NOPRINT.
    
    By the time we get to V2, we'll probably have to redo the whole
    thing to accomodate everyone, so we'll check again, Karl.
