DECprint Supervisor Configuration Notes
If you want to use the Brother print server with the DECprint
Supervisor software, you must have the DCPS-Open option in order
to support Brother printers (you may also need to modify the DCPS
device control modules and queue setup to handle "unrecognized"
printers). Do not use the SET SERVICE RECEIVE command
because bi-directional communications is required for DCPS.
Operation of the print server under ULTRIX is similar in concept to
VMS in that you must create a LAT application port and associate a
print queue with that port (note that ULTRIX can alternatively be
configured with TCP/IP as described in Chapter 2). This procedure
requires system manager privileges and is shown in the following
sections.
1
Verify that LAT is working. This can be done simply with a LAT-
compatible terminal server; by doing a SHOW NODE or SHOW
SERVICE command, you should see the name of your ULTRIX
host displayed. If you do not have a terminal server available,
execute the following command:
lcp -c
This command displays the LAT traffic on the network. You should
minimally see some number of frames transmitted because your
ULTRIX computer periodically broadcasts messages across the
network. If LAT is not working, first check your cabling and your
network configuration. If LAT still does not work, then you may need
to install LAT into your system. This is a fairly complex procedure that
requires rebuilding your kernel; refer to your ULTRIX documentation
for information on this procedure.
2
If you have not already done so, create some LAT devices. This
is done by first changing your default directory to /dev and then
use the MAKEDEV command to create 16 LAT devices:
cd /dev
