VMS Help TCPIP Services, LPR_LPD, Remote Print Queues  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Your system manager can configure your system with LPR/LPD
    network services that allow you to use the DCL PRINT command
    to send print jobs to a print queue on a remote internet host.
    The remote host can be a UNIX system or another OpenVMS system
    running LPR/LPD.

    You print a local file at a printer on a remote host by
    specifying the remote queue name defined on your local host (see
    your system manager for queue names). LPD copies the file to the
    appropriate remote printer's spool directory. A copy of the file
    to be printed remains in the spooling queue until the printer is
    ready to print it.

    When you enter the DCL PRINT command to send a print job to a
    remote print queue, you use the /QUEUE qualifier to specify the
    queue name plus any of the following qualifiers:

    /AFTER          /BACKUP        /BEFORE         /BY_OWNER
    /CONFIRM        /COPIES        /CREATED        /DELETE
    /EXCLUDE        /EXPIRED       /FORM           /HEADER
    /HOLD           /IDENTIFY      /JOB_COUNT      /MODIFIED
    /NAME           /NOTE          /OPERATOR       /PARAMETERS
    /PASSALL        /PRIORITY      /QUEUE          /SETUP
    /SINCE          /USER          /WIDTH

    Two of these qualifiers work differently with DIGITAL TCP/IP
    Services for OpenVMS software than they do in a OpenVMS
    environment without TCP/IP support. These two qualifiers are:

    o  /FORM

    o  /PARAMETERS

                                   NOTE

       DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software does not
       support layup definition files for print requests to remote
       print queues. A layup definition file sets up the layup
       features: borders, sheet margins, alternating margins, pages
       per sheet, first page, page order, and page grid.
