Problem opening device control library?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Using a TELNETSYM print outbound execution queue, I have added formatting to
the queue in the form of a device control library.  The problem is that the
print queue logs an error attempting to open a file (which I believe is the
device control library).
Attached are the specifications for the queue/library/form.
 
Is something mis-configured?

The Answer is :

 
  Consider acquiring and applying any ECOs available for the OpenVMS
  print symbiont and queue manager areas of OpenVMS, as well as available
  ECOs for the version of TCP/IP Services in use.  For OpenVMS VAX
  and OpenVMS Alpha, you will likely want to be using TCP/IP Services
  V4.2 with the current ECO kit applied.
 
  You will want to ensure the device control library is accessable from
  the particular node running the print queue, if this configuration is
  running in an OpenVMS Cluster.  This includes the device, the file
  protection setting, the parent directory protection setting(s), any
  logical names used, and similar, that the device control library and
  the target print file itself reside on.
 
  Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center, this appears it
  will require some investigation to resolve.
