2714.0. "Local Printer, VMS Queue and LAT " by STU01::53514::stu01::kroiss () Tue Mar 04 1997 15:10

Hi,

I have a Problem with an Printer, locally attached to an OS/2 PC with a Queue
on an VMS Node.

Problem Description:
Customer has several PATHWORKS 4.1 DOS Clients.
On the Client side are localy attached printers via parallel port.
Customer configures a LAT Service for this local printer and prints out
from the VMS Server side. (VMS 5.5-2)

Problem:
Customer has to migrate to IBM OS/2 LAN Server environment
with PATHWORKS Version 5.1 on top.
When trying to copy a VMS-File to the LAT port 
pointing to the localy attached client printer via LAT,
the VMS side gets an error:

file write error
data set hang-up
file not completely copied

Tested with the configuration on the client side i got following
results:
connection via LAT-terminal to the client LAT Service i can print out to
the printer !!
iris trace show traffic between VMS and OS/2 Client 
connecting the NODE and SERVICE correctly.

Environment:
Client
localy queue NEC attached to lpt1:
c:\spool\nec exists
latcp add NECPR NEC

$ mc latcp create port lta510: /app
$ mc latcp set port lta510: /NODE=OS2PC /SERVICE=NECPR
$ copy test.txt lta510:
results in
file write error
data set hang-up
file not completely copied

Regards 
Kurt
