22.2 Configuring LPR/LPD
Table 22–1 (Cont.) LPD Logical Names
Logical Name Description
TCPIP$LPD_DROPTIME The DROP timer indicates how long (in
seconds) that a connection should be
maintained (after repeated timeouts) before
closing the connection. The DROP timer
is in effect only after the link has been
established, and it takes effect only if the
TCPIP$KEEPALIVE logical is set.
You control the DROP timer using the
following command:
$ DEFINE/SYS TCPIP$LPD_DROP x
In this command, x specifies the number of
seconds to maintain the connection before
closing it.
The default value for the DROP timer is 300
seconds.
TCPIP$LPD_1ST_VFC_PREFIX_
SPECIAL
LPD can insert an extra line feed character at
the beginning of print files. Set this logical to
suppress this action.
TCPIP$LPD_VMS_FLAGPAGES Enables the OpenVMS flag page print options,
as described in Section 22.7.
TCPIP$LPD_PS_EXT Control Compaq PrintServer extension
support. By default, PrintServer extensions
are supported by LPD. To disable PrintServer
extension support on the system, enter the
following command:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$LPD_PS_EXT NON_PS
To enable PostScript extensions, specify LPS
as the value of this logical name.
For more information about configuring
PrintServer extension support for a printer,
see Section 22.3.
TCPIP$LPD_DEBUG Writes diagnostics to the LPD queue log
file. Applies to outbound jobs (LPD client)
and to inbound jobs (LPD server) that are
processed by the LPD symbiont controlling
the local print queue. See the description
of the TCPIP$LPD_RCV logical for more
information.
