I'm trying to set up a remote printer on my Unix system.
OSF1 pknsr1.pko.dec.com V3.2 148 alpha
THe print que is on a VMS machine with ucx and the LPD enabled.
Here is my printcap file:
#
lp|lp0|0|ln17:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=:\
:rm=ICS.PKO.DEC.COM:\
:rp=PK11OPS:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:
But when I look at the printer it keeps coming up with this:
# lpq
pknsr1.pko.dec.com: Tue Mar 25 20:20:49 1997: waiting for
ICS.PKO.DEC.COM to come up
Rank Pri Owner Job Files Total
Size
1st 0 root 0 sys.lis 2901
bytes
I can ping the VMS system from my unix system ok. Is there something
else I'm missing?
THanx,
Chris.....

> Is there something else I'm missing?
Yes! You need to do some magic at the VMS/UCX end.
This message ...
"waiting for ICS.PKO.DEC.COM to come up"
... is probably telling you that the UCX print subsystem won't accept
jobs from you UNIX system. I don't know the specific UCX commands you
need to enable this - your friendly local UCX-person may be able to
help.
A good start would be for a privileged VMS user to enter
$ reply/enable
and watch the messages that appear when you try to print.
Hope this helps
