7.4.3 Device Control Libraries Must Exist for Queue to Start

All device control libraries speciﬁed for a queue must exist for the queue

to start. For example, if a queue is deﬁned with the following logical, the

libraries SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$DEVCTL.TLB, SYS$LIBRARY:ANSI.TLB and

SYS$LIBRARY:PS.TLB must all exist as text libraries:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE DCPS_LIB -

DCPS$DEVCTL, -

"ANSI/DATA_TYPE=ANSI", -

"PS/DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT"

7.4.4 Preserving Custom Setup Modules During Upgrades

When you install DECprint Supervisor software, it creates a new version of the

standard device control library (DCPS$DEVCTL.TLB). If you purged old ﬁles

during the software installation, early copies of the device control library are

deleted. (Refer to the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS Software Installation

Guide for more information.)

When you add custom setup modules, create a new library and refer to it in

the library search list. This preserves your custom setup modules when you

upgrade your software.

Upgrading from DECprint Printing Services or PrintServer Client Software

DECprint Printing Services software and PrintServer Client software have

their own device control libraries (CPS$DEVCTL.TLB and LPS$DEVCTL.TLB).

When you upgrade to DECprint Supervisor, the CPS$ and LPS$ device control

libraries are no longer used. If you have custom setup modules in either of

those libaries, insert the modules into a new library and specify the library in

the device control library search list.

7.5 Including Setup Modules in Print Job

You can specify setup modules using the /SETUP qualiﬁer in the PRINT

command.

To include an ANSI setup module in a print job using the /SETUP qualiﬁer,

use the following command format:

$ PRINT/QUEUE=queue-name/SETUP=your-module-name print-file.TXT

If you enter the command wrong, the error is not detected until the ﬁle prints.

To enable the software to detect the error immediately, you can include the

setup module in a form. See Chapter 8 for instructions.
