Printer-Specific Information
This chapter provides management information about using DCPS with
specific printers. Printer-specific information that might be of interest to
general users is in the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS User’s Guide rather
than in this manual. The DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS Release Notes
may also contain additional printer-specific information.
Check the documentation for your printer, network interface card, print server,
or terminal server to determine the correct TCP port number to use. The TCP
port number may also be listed in Table 3–1.
10.1 Apple LaserWriter Plus Printer
10.1.1 LPS$PERSISTENT_RESOURCES Not Supported
The DCPS feature to load the module LPS$PERSISTENT_RESOURCES
outside the PostScript server loop for desktop printers is not supported for the
LaserWriter Plus.
10.2 Compaq Laser Printer LN16 and GENICOM microLaser

10.2.1 Printer Configuration Setting
DCPS requires the printer’s PERSONALITY be set to POSTSCRIPT. If the
PERSONALITY is set to AUTO or PCL, DCPS jobs will remain in a Starting
state and never print. This setting is in the printer console’s CONFIG menu.
Setting the PERSONALITY to POSTSCRIPT will still allow PCL jobs coming
from Windows PCs to print correctly.
