/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb TCPIP Services, LPR_LPD, Remote Print Queues, /PARAMETERS  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS supports numerous options for
    the DCL PRINT /PARAMETERS=(option=value) command. For example, it
    supports the PAGE_SIZE option as follows:

    $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=(PAGE_SIZE=size) /QUEUE=queue_name filename

    When you enter the PRINT /PARAMETERS=(option=value) command,
    enclose the following in quotation marks:

    o  Blanks

    o  Non-alphanumeric characters, including spaces and slashes

    You can use the following /PARAMETERS options for both local
    printing (standard DCL PRINT) and remote printing (DCL PRINT with
    LPR/LPD network services).

    DATA_TYPE          NUMBER_UP          PAGE_LIMIT
    PAGE_ORIENTATION   PAGE_SIZE          SHEET_COUNT
    SHEET_SIZE         SIDES

    For a full description of the options supported for DCL local as
    well as remote printing, enter the following command.

    $ HELP PRINT_PARAMETER

                                   NOTE

       This help is available only if the DECprint Supervisor
       (DCPS) software is installed on your system. See your system
       manager for more information.

    The following /PARAMETERS options are supported only for use with
    remote printing.

    HOST               MAIL
    NOFLAG             PRINTER

    o  Use the HOST and PRINTER options together to send a print job
       to any remote host and printer that does not have a specific
       print queue defined on the local system.

       In conjuction with the HOST and PRINTER qualifiers, you
       must also specify the /QUEUE qualifier. The value of the
       /QUEUE must be a local LPD print queue established for remote
       printing. This may be a generic LPD queue set up to handle
       all remote printing requests or a specific LPD queue for a
       particular remote printer.

       For example, the following command specifies that the file
       PINS.LIS be sent to printer CT_LN05R on remote host BALT using
       the generic remote printing queue DPR_ANSI.

       $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=(HOST=BALT, PRINTER=CT_LN05R) /QUEUE=DPR_ANSI PINS.LIS

       The HOST and PRINTER options allow you to use any available
       network printers, without your system manager having to set
       up additional LPD remote queues for each of these printers.
       Specify the remote host name either by the host name or by
       its fully qualified domain name (such as PACE.STATS.RINGS_
       CORP.COM).

    o  The MAIL option causes the remote host to notify you through
       SMTP mail when the print job completes. The following command
       example specifies the MAIL option.

       $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=MAIL /QUEUE=DPR_ANSI PINS.LIS

    o  The NOFLAG option suppresses printing of a banner (flag) page
       at an LPD queue.

       The following command example specifies the NOFLAG option.

       $ PRINT/PARAMETERS=NOFLAG /QUEUE=DPR_ANSI PINS.LIS
