Hello
Sorry for the 3rd question today.
A customer is using DCPS 1.3 on a AXP running VMS 6.1 and printing to
apple printers through appletalk.
He claims that after upgrading of DCPS from 1.2 to 1.3 big printjobs
(more than 100 pages plain text) prints fine app. 100 pages and then
stops and are requeued in the printerqueue and starts again.
However it keeps stopping before everything is printed so until now the
only workaround he has found is to split his output in smaller jobs.
Any hints what this is caused by?
Regards

Do any messages come back from the printer or are generated by DCPS?
(/PAR=MESSAGES=...) Are the printers explicitly on the DCPS v1.2 and
v1.3 support list? (Which ones, just for the record?)

Hello
The printer is a LASER WRITER 16/600, which I don't think is supported.
However it worked before.
The reason I say before and not on DCPS 1.2 is that the customer has
made a lot of upgrades apparently.
He has upgraded a VAX 6410 to a cluster of VAX 4705/4505
He has upgraded VMS from 5.5.2 to 6.1
He has upgraded MSA from 1.2 to 1.3
He has upgraded DCPS from 1.2 to 1.3
He has among other patches applied the required VAXQMAN patch described
in the release notes.
When he prints using the messages=(keep,print) he gets when it does not
work. job aborted during execution.
It has turned out now that sometimes the print works and sometimes not,
so maybe he has got networks problems or maybe some parameters to set
up properly.
If anybody has got a hint what to look for I would be pleased.
