Setting Up and Managing TELNETSYM
23.3 Setting Up Print Queues
2. Specify the host name and port number to which the queue sends the print
data with the /ON qualifier, as follows:
/ON="hostname:portnumber"
For example, to set up a TELNETSYM queue named xyz_q to print using
TELNETSYM to host
printserver.xyz.com at TCP port 4242, enter:
$ INITIALIZE /QUEUE /PROCESSOR=TCPIP$TELNETSYM -
_$ /ON="printserver.xyz.com:4242" xyz_q
23.4 Setting Up Relay Queues
You can redirect the output of TELNETSYM to another queue rather than
sending it directly to a remote printer. A queue with this setup is a relay queue.
Use relay queues to funnel fully formatted output to an outbound LPD queue.
LPD transfers jobs that are fully formatted on the sending side by OpenVMS.
In this case, TELNETSYM saves the output stream to a temporary file and then
submits the file to the destination queue. TCP/IP Services is not used.
To set up a TELNETSYM relay queue, specify the /ON qualifier of the
INITIALIZE/QUEUE command as follows, where qname is the name of the
queue to which you want TELNETSYM to send its output.
/ON="TCPIP$QUEUE:qname"
To set up a TELNETSYM relay queue named RELAYQ_4 to send output to the
queue named LPD_Q4, enter:
$ INITIALIZE /QUEUE /ON="TCPIP$QUEUE:LPD_Q4" -
_$ /PROCESS=TCPIP$TELNETSYM /DEVICE=PRINTER RELAYQ_4
23.5 Managing and Customizing Your Print Queues
You can manage and customize TELNETSYM for each print queue by defining
logical names before you start the queue. Because the logical names are
translated once at queue startup time, they can be defined differently for each
TELNETSYM queue. Use the /SYSTEM qualifier when defining TELNETSYM
logical names. You must stop and restart the print queue to establish the changes
you make with logical names.
Some TELNETSYM configuration logical names are used to set a configuration
option either ON or OFF. If the logical name is defined, the option is ON. If it is
not defined, the option is OFF.
Other logical names require a specific value. The following sections describe
TELNETSYM logical names. The descriptions indicate when a value is required.
23.5.1 Controlling Stream of Print Bytes Sent Over the Link
If a remote printer supports a raw network data connection rather than the
TELNET protocol, you can print to such a printer by suppressing all TELNET
modifications of the output stream with the following logical names:
• TCPIP$TELNETSYM_RAW_TCP
Suppresses all TELNET type modifications of the print output stream.
This logical name also prevents the TELNETSYM from doubling IAC
characters and sending the TELNET escape sequence to negotiate binary
options for files printed /PASSALL.
