Creating and Modifying Print Queues
This chapter explains how to start up the printing system and test the printer.
Note
Make sure the system queue manager is running before creating
queues.
3.1 If You Are Installing the Software for the First Time
If this is a new installation, you can use the startup template file to help you
set up your queues. Copy the printer startup template file as follows:
$ COPY SYS$COMMON:[SYS$STARTUP]DCPS$STARTUP.TEMPLATE -
SYS$COMMON:[SYS$STARTUP]DCPS$STARTUP.COM
3.2 If You Are Upgrading From DECprint Printing Services
Software (CPS)
If you are upgrading from CPS to DCPS, convert your CPS$STARTUP.COM
file as follows:
1. Enter the following command:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:CPS_TO_DCPS_STARTUP.COM
2. Answer the questions displayed on your screen. For example:
Enter filename of CPS startup file to be converted;
Default filename is SYS$SYSROOT:[SYS$STARTUP]CPS$STARTUP.COM
[default]:
disk$manager:[cps_conversion]cps$startup.com
Enter filename of DCPS startup file to be created;
Default filename is SYS$SYSROOT:[SYS$STARTUP]DCPS$STARTUP.COM
