Subj:	Re: Print to DECserver 200?

Phil,  this is coming from memory so details may be incorrect but here it
goes.  Be sure on the terminal server to set priv first and then  you'll
get good help on all privileged commands.  Also, help is excellant from
the LATCP> prompt with good examples.  That should be all you need.

1.  You'll need to use DSVCONFIG in mom$load to configure the server
    on the Vax end for decnet.  Just determine what you want the
    server node name and decnet address to be.  

2.  for the port that the printer is hooked up to define a service.
    This makes addressing from the VAX easier and more portable should
    you need to move the printer.

	Eg: local> define service prt1 port 1
	    local> set service prt1 port 1

3.  from LATcp  create a port(create port) and then set the port charac-
    teristics giving the decserver node name(see below on how to do this) 
    and specifying the service name(step 1) as that vms will map the port
    to on the decserver.  

    The sequence would look like this:
	latcp> create port lta9999:
	latcp> set port lta9999/application/node=ds2/service=prt1/queued

4.  Initialize the queue as any other standard VMS print que where the
    /on will look like this:  /on=lta9999:

	The decserver does not need a node address but it should.
	Check out mom$load:dsvconfig - this will take care of decnet
	configuration but I'm not sure if it can configure the server
	itself.  The server help should be sufficient.

	The decserver does have a decnet address but it's stored on
	the vax in the decnet database.  As far as the server is
	concerned, it doesn't know about decnet address'.  Just the
	server name.  The command should be:  define server name ds2
