7056.0. "DCPS v1.3 DCPS_W_INVACC when doing exitserver" by STKHLM::HEGNELIUS () Fri Jan 24 1997 05:34

Have anyone experienced problems with permanent resource loading,
for instance layup's to HP laserjet 4 printers without password
set, from DCPS v 1.3

My customer claims that this worked before upgrade from DCPS v 1.2.

What they do is a statusdict begin 0 exit server

They claim they dont have any password set on the printer but they 
still get the error message DCPS-W-invac invalid access, offending
command exitserver.

Any hints appreciated.

Regards

	The only way to tell that one has changed the password in a PostScript printer is to get an invalidaccesserror on an attempt to enter the password. I don't know if the checkpassword operator exists in level 2 HP PostScript printers. The most likely situation is that somebody HAS changed the password on that printer. Is there a "reset to factory defaults" or a "cold reset" feature on the printer? That may be the only repair if the culprit won't step forward (or doesn't know he's the one at fault). - tom]
7056.2	only difference is DCPS version.	STKHLM::HEGNELIUS		`Mon Jan 27 1997 04:01`	8
	The customer claims that if he load this module from another system with DCPS v1.2 it works. It is the same module loaded, to the same printer. The only difference is DCPS version. Any idees? EVa
7056.3	try this	HANNAH::SCHULLMAN	Dan Schullman	`Tue Feb 11 1997 11:57`	21
	RE: .0 > What they do is a statusdict begin 0 exit server I just tried the following on an LN17ps with a test version of V1.4, and it worked: serverdict begin 0 exitserver save (exited server loop\n) print flush restore Note that exitserver is in serverdict (vs. statusdict), and that exitserver is one word. Try the above and let us know how you make out. Note too that if the customer has a LPS$PERSISTENT_RESOURCES module in a DCPS device control library when the queue is started (AND other OpenVMS systems have not communicated via DCPS with the printer since it was turned on), then DCPS will automatically load the module persistently. --Dan S.

	I suspect that the code in question must have been 'serverdict' and 'exitserver' or the error would have been 'undefined,' not 'invalidaccess.' - tom]
