++++++++++++++++++Original post+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I am using host based DTC manager on a 979, 6.0 pp2. Can I also print from a UNIX system, 10.2, to the same printers. If this can be done how do I accomplish this. TIA Al +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ===================Response==================== You will need to set up ddfa on the HP-UX 10.20 for the DTC. Do a HP-UX man ddfa and get help information. The two key files are dp and pcf. Man points to examples. That will create ocd daemons for the DTC ports. Here is a example from a working HP-UX and HP3K printing to same printer on DTC. You will need to make sure that the DTC configuration allows multiple hosts printing to the port. Below are the HP-UX 10.20 files that will work. # more /etc/ddfa/dp # Site DTC01 192.168.25.1 04/03 /dev/dtc0143 /etc/ddfa/pcf # Site DTC02 192.168.25.2 03/07 /dev/dtc0237 /etc/ddfa/pcf # more /etc/ddfa/pcf telnet_mode: enable timing_mark: enable telnet_timer: 120 binary_mode: disable open_tries: 1500 open_timer: 30 close_timer: 5 status_request: disable status_timer: 30 eightbit: disable tcp_nodelay: enable Hope this helps, Stoney Ratliff R&R Computer Services ======================================================
