On a VAXcluster system, you can configure the applications ports on the local node only. However, you should do so on at least two nodes so that a redundant path to the printer is available in the event of a cluster node failure.

To set up a remote-printer applications port on a cluster node, include the LAT control program CREATE PORT and SET PORT commands for that port in the node’s LTLOAD.COM file in the SYS$MANAGER directory. For complete information about setting up remote printing on VAXcluster systems, refer to the VMS VAXcluster manual in the OpenVMS documentation set.

Setting Up a LAT Remote Print Queue on an ULTRIX System

To set up a LAT remote print queue on an ULTRIX host, specify the access server name and the port name by using one of the following:

An lcp command

An entry in the /etc/printcap file

After you specify the access server name and the port name, set up a spool directory and test the printer.

Example: Configuring a LAT Remote Print Queue on an ULTRIX System

The following example provides a sample procedure for setting up a remote print queue for a laser printer. This example identifies the access server and port names to the with the /etc/printcap file.
