14.2.2.3 Printing PostScript Files
The operating system does not include software to support PostScript printing.
To print PostScript files, you must have either of the following equipment:
• A printer capable of printing PostScript files, and supporting software
• Software that provides PostScript-to-sixel printing, and a supported printer
For more information, see your Compaq support representative.
14.2.2.4 Using LAT Printers
To share printers among multiple systems or OpenVMS Cluster environments,
you can connect printers to a LAT port on a terminal server. Figure 14–6 shows
an output queue configuration with a remote printer on a terminal server.
Compaq recommends that you set up your LAT queues as autostart queues with
failover lists to ensure that these queues are highly available. Because LAT
printers are usually shared among users of multiple systems or clusters, many
users will be affected if a LAT queue is unavailable.
For information about how to create autostart queues with failover lists, see
Section 14.4.2.
