D
DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) and DECprint
Printing Services Software (CPS)
This appendix explains the differences between the DECprint Supervisor
software and the DECprint Printing Services software, and their ability to
coexist. ‘‘DCPS’’ refers to the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS product;
‘‘CPS’’ refers to the DECprint Printing Services product.
D.1 DCPS/CPS Coexistence
DCPS software can coexist on the same system with CPS Version 4.0 or
Version 4.1 software. The installation of DCPS software does not delete or
modify components of CPS software. You may continue to run both products
on the same system, or you may migrate the existing queue structure from the
CPS product to the DCPS product.
D.2 Printer Support
D.3 DCPS$ Prefix
All file names, logical names, and messages for the DCPS product start with
the DCPS$ prefix. This ensures that you can continue to use CPS software to
drive some queues, and add the DCPS software to drive others. The default
OpenVMS form is DCPS$DEFAULT.
Certain files, however, are considered system resources, and are shared
between the DCPS and CPS products, and possibly other products. These
shared resources are:
