Description

PRODUCT NAME: HP DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS, SPD 44.15.20

Version 2.7

DESCRIPTION

HP DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS is

a layered software application that provides access

to selected PostScript printers. DCPS runs on

OpenVMS Integrity servers, OpenVMS Alpha systems

and OpenVMS VAX systems.

DCPS drives selected PostScript printers and supports

these printers’ special features, such as tray and media

selection and two-sided printing. File formats supported

include PostScript, ANSI-Compliant DIGITAL Printing

Protocol Level 3 (DEC PPL3) and HP PCL. DCPS also

includes features such as number-up, layup, automatic

data type detection and high speed image printing, plus

translators for a number of printer languages. See the

Other Hardware Required section of the SPD for the list

of supported printer models.

DECprint Supervisor software consists of the following

components:

• A print symbiont that processes print requests for the

host on which it resides.

• Software to transmit the request and associated data

over the following protocols:

— Ethernet via TCP/IP to a printer with a network

interface card (NIC) that supports the bidirectional

Raw TCP/IP socket protocol or LPD protocol

— Ethernet via TCP/IP to a printer connected to a

print server or a terminal server that supports the

bidirectional Raw TCP/IP socket protocol or LPD

protocol

— Ethernet via TCP/IP to a remote LPD queue on

another system

— Ethernet to a PrintServer printer via DECnet or

TCP/IP using Common Printer Access Protocol

(CPAP)

— Local Area Transport (LAT)

— USB connection

— Serial line

• Translators to convert various non-PostScript ﬁles

into the PostScript language for printing.

• Page formatting capabilities such as the ability to

print multiple page images on a single side of a sheet

of paper and to specify borders, margins and page

offsets.

• A series of PostScript tools for application develop-

ers. These include a PostScript error handler and

Font Encoding Vectors for the ISO Latin Alphabet

Number 1 (ISO 8859/1) and DIGITAL Multinational

Character Set for use with all the PostScript text fonts

that are built into DIGITAL and selected Compaq

PostScript printers.

Install DECprint Supervisor software on each node that

has print queues for PostScript printers.

A system running DECprint Supervisor software can

transmit print requests to printers on a TCP/IP, DECnet

or LAT network. Note that not all printers support all

these protocols.

To communicate with a printer on a TCP/IP network,

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software, Process

Software MultiNet for OpenVMS or Process Software

TCPware for OpenVMS software must be installed on

your system.
