    An NT print Server can have queues that load from VAXes. So how so I
    determine what actual printers the NT Server is booting from the list
    of queues available? The NT Printserver can also have queues for 
    printers that are loaded from other NT Printservers. How do you
    determine who is loading what printer?
    
    From a VAX I can interrogate an LPS printer using DECnet to find out 
    who loaded it. But if the printer is loaded using Bootp with an IP
    address, how can I determine what system loaded it?

7170.1Use the LPS kit for NT see 6.215 in this file18669::HARVEYPrintserver Support- America&#039;s ZoneThu Apr 17 1997 17:0310
    Rob,
    
    
    	In note 6.215 in this file is a pointer to the printserver kit for
    NT. Load this kit on to your NT machine and utilize the remote console
    utility. Using this utility connect to the printer in question and hit
    the config button. This will show which node was the primary load host
    of the printer and the management host too.

    Thanks, I pulled V51-12I.EXE and installed it on my nT machine and it
    works great. Thanks.
