5501.0. "How to print PCL files to UCX outbound queues ?" by ITBG02::BONORA () Mon May 12 1997 15:07

Hi' all,

A Customer is moving his queues environment from DECNET/LAT to UCX/TCP-IP.
The OpenVMS is v. 6.2-1H3, UCX is v. 4.1
He has some Xerox 4517 Network printer (like LN17PS) whith NIC interface
installed on the network. He prints whitout problem, PCL files on this 
printer via VMS/LAT queue.

Now he had created some UCX outbound print queue to print via UCX$LPD_SMB
symbiont.

The queue is set like this:

$ sho que MCSBO3_rem_ps/all/full
Server queue MCSBO3_REM_PS, idle, on BLGSUP::, mounted form DEFAULT
  /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FLAG,FORM=DEFAULT) /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
  /PROCESSOR=UCX$LPD_SMB /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /RETAIN=ERROR
 
and this is the command used: 

print/que=MCSBO3_REM_PS CA4DL224.FIX/passall SVCS0201.PCL

The .FIX file is the file for the page layout and the next is the
file to print.

The printer is set to recognize the language automatically.

The file printed on the UCX queue is full of bad characters, it seems to
be that the UCX symbiont filters the control sequences.
Even if I print only the PCL file the problem still remain.

On the same queue PS file is printed ok.

I can reproduce this problem on my LN17PS.

Is there any restriction to print PCL files via UCX outbound queues ?
Do I have forget something on my print command ?

Here is some configuration files:
