Printing on Parallel Port?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am having trouble with setting up a print queue on a xp900. SI# NI94602566.
Using the following commands in the Systartup_vms.com yields no luck.
 
DEFINE /SYSTEM $PRINTER LRA0:
 
SET PRINTER $PRINTER /LOWERCASE/NOWRAP -
/NOTRUNCATE/CR/WIDTH=132/PAGE=66
 
SET DEVICE /SPOOLED=(SYS$PRINT,SYS$SYSDEVICE:) -
$PRINTER
 
INIT/QUE/START/PROC=PRTSMB/AUTOSTART_ON= -
AE1027::$PRINTER: SYS$PRINT
 
ENABLE AUTOSTART /QUEUES
 
Rebooted.
 
Typing $ sho/que/full/all shows the print que SYS$PRINT as idle and mounted.
No printouts to the printer. ( HP1100 ).
This works fine on an AlphaStation 500 V6.2-1H3.
Thank You.

The Answer is :

 
  If SET PRINTER/POLLED does not help here, please contact the customer
  support center directly as details of the parallel port configuration
  on the AlphaStation XP900 and on the previous AlphaStation 500, and
  the printer configuration and requirements, will be of interest.
