Step 1: Determine your printing node
To determine which node runs your printer, issue the following command,
inserting the name of the print queue you use:
$ SHOW QUEUE/FULL queue-name
From the first line of the following sample display, you determine that
FIERY is the node that runs your printer and LTA546 is the application
port associated with the print queue:
Printer queue LN03R3, on FIERY::LTA546, mounted form DCPS$DEFAULT
(stock=DEFAULT)
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /FORM=DCPS$DEFAULT (stock=DEFAULT)
/NOENABLE_GENERIC /LIBRARY=DCPS_LIB lowercase /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
/PROCESSOR=DCPS$SMB /PROTECTION=(S:E,O:D,G:R,W:W) /SCHEDULE=(NOSIZE)
/SEPARATE=(BURST,TRAILER)
$
Perform steps 2 and 3 on the node (FIERY) that runs the printer.
Step 2: Determine LAT node and port name to which the printer is connected
Look in the LAT startup file SYS$STARTUP:LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM. The SET
PORT command associates the application port (LTAd) with a specific port
(/PORT=port_name) on the server (/SERVER=server_name).
CREATE PORT LTA546: /NOLOG /APPLICATION ! LN03R3
SET PORT LTA546: /APPLICATION /QUEUE /NODE=TAS204 /PORT=PORT_7
Note
The port must be set with queuing enabled (/QUEUE) and as an
application port (/APPLICATION).
Make sure that SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM invokes LAT$STARTUP.COM.
Step 3: Check port and server system names
Ensure that port and server system settings are the same as those in the
SYS$STARTUP:LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM. Use the LATCP SHOW PORT
command to look at the application port (LTAd) as follows:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP
LCP>SHOW PORT lta546
Local Port Name = LTA546: application
