13-6 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997
Some common System V print commands are listed below.
Printing from VMS Systems
Printing with MultiNet™ on a VMS host
The Network Interface Card works with a MultiNet stream queue
on a VMS host. Invoke MultiNet's printer configuration utility
(PCU) to add a VMS print queue by entering the following
command:
multinet configure/printers
The PCU will prompt you for the IP address, the protocol type,
and the queue name. Specify lpd as the protocol type, and ps as
the queue name.
The change takes effect at the next system boot up. To make it
effective immediately, invoke the COM procedure:
@MULTINET:REMOTE-PRINTER-QUEUES
Printing with WIN/TCP on a VMS network or with DEC UCX

Refer to your user’s guide for a detailed description of Installation
and printing. Specify ps as the remote queue name and the host
name of the Network Interface Card as the remote machine
name.
