- Pat,
-
- We have a similar setup over here and we use it with no problems. On the SG side,
- you will need the appropriate /etc/printcap entries. For example:
- #
- lp|lw|Hp LaserJet+ on host xyz:\
- :rm=xyz:rp=sys$print:sd=/usr/spool/laser:lp=:
-
- Then use 'lpc restart' to get the printers going on the SG. Note that you will
- need to use lpr to do your printing.
-
- On the VAX side of things, you have to use 'multinet config/printers' and you
- will need to use set accept-hosts while in Multinet. The Multinet docs are pretty
- good at going over this. Have a look through that.
-
- Hope this helps,
-
- Andre.
