Please read or run DIFFERENCES on the output file,
DISK$MANAGER:[CPS_CONVERSION]DCPS$STARTUP.COM,
to be sure the new file meets your needs.
The procedure creates a startup file that DECprint Supervisor recognizes,
but does not change your existing queue definitions. If you need to add new
queues, see Section 3.3
DCPS has an automatic data type detection feature. Therefore, you no longer
need to specify the data type as a queue default or in the PRINT command.
If you defined generic queues for default data types, edit
DCPS$STARTUP.COM and remove them.
3.3 Setting Up Execution Queues
You must create an execution queue for each PostScript printer. Execution
queues schedule jobs for processing and deliver the print jobs to a printer. An
execution queue is associated with a particular printer.
When you create an execution queue, you supply information about the queue,
including its name and default parameters. Example 3–1 shows creation of
an execution queue for a PrintServer printer. Example 3–2 shows creation
of an execution queue for a serial printer. These commands are placed in
DCPS$STARTUP.COM.
Note
Configure your system so that required software is started before you
start your execution queues. For example, for a networked printer,
ensure that the corresponding TCP/IP, LAT, DECnet, AppleTalk, or
PrintServer Supporting Host software is started first.
Also, if you invoke DCPS$EXECUTION_QUEUE.COM directly, and
neglect to add the same command to DCPS$STARTUP.COM, some
DCPS queues may not work after your OpenVMS system reboots.
