5183.0. "Telnet printing via TN device?" by KAOT01::M_LAVERGNE () Fri Jan 31 1997 15:14

    Hi,
    
    	I have a customer that is running UCX 4.0ECO 3 and 
    would like to have a Telnet print queue associated with 
    a TN port. We have done the following:
    
    	$ telnet /create_session hostname 2008 99
    	$ init/queu/start/proc=ucx$telnetsym/on=tna99: pq
    	%system-f-ivdevnam, invalid device name
    
    	We can copy files to TNA99: without any problems. Can 
    a telnet printer queue be setup this way? If so, how?
    
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mike

5183.1Try working with a dummy LAT deviceCSC32::R_WILLIAMSFri Jan 31 1997 15:4611
    Mike,
    
    Outbound TNA devices are not ready yet for printing as they cannot be
    spooled.  Have your customer create a dummy lta device and then
    associate the telnetsym to this device.
    
                $ mc latcp create port LTAnn:
                $ set device/spool=(yourtelnetsymquename, sys$sysdevice:) LTAnn:
                $ copy tobeprinted.stuff LTAnn:

If an outbound TN device is to be used for printing, you would not be using
the telnet symbiont but probably the ordinary VMS print symbiont.

    Agreed.
    
    The TELNETSYM is intended to create an outgoing (socket-based)
    connection to a remote printer.  The TN approach is different and
    doesn't mix and match with TELNETSYM.
    
    A future release of UCX will include a really nice TN interface.
