<<Now I feel embarrassed  I need to know how to configure a dummy device
as a printer.  It seems that since we started taking manuals on CD-ROM,
my boss decided to chuck the manuals and save bookshelf space.  Well, the
'Configuring Terminals, Printers & Other Serial Devices' manual was left
OFF of the CD-ROM  My support specialist said that I would have to pay in
order to get the printed manual, even though it should have been on the
CD-ROM and even though all of the other documents on the CD-ROM refer to
this manual.  ....But that is another story.  I just want to know how to
configure a dummy device as a printer, spooled, with many device class
names.  This is for NBSpool and IP printing.>>
 
Do you mean a non-existent LDEV? I just configured a "fake" DTC in NMMGR,
filled it up with fake 8-port "D" cards, and set up each fake port as a
Type 26 printer. SLT, UPDATE CONFIG, START NORECOVERY, and the 3000 has
48 new printers. We give them to NetPrint92 for over-the-wire printing,
but the 3000 is happy as the proverbial pig.
