7194.0. "Again DCPS/TCPIP/network cards printers..." by VAXRIO::MAURO () Mon May 12 1997 11:25

    Hi,
    
    Please don't get upset with me, but how the entry 6575 (DCSP & TCPIP)
    was written one year ago, perhaps I can get some news.
    
    My customer is implementing ATM service communications, where he intend
    to connect printers with network cards. He wants to configure these
    printers through DCPS using TCPIP and I known it is unsupported. It only
    would works with Printer Servers. 
    
    Is there any possibility to change DCPS to support this in the future?
    
    Thanks, Mauro.

	DCPS V1.4 adds TCP/IP support for many printers, and is nearing the end of field test. See note 6.239 for more information. Paul

	Mauro, You said that your customer wants to CONFIGURE these printers. What do you mean by this? DCPS is not a configuration tool, it is a print symbiont.
