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.

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
