Glenn, We've defined nonexistent DTC's to implement network printing in our environment, and it's really quite simple. If you'd like to contact me offline, I'd be glad to tell you how we set it up.

Mitchell" <[log in to unmask]> at ~INTERNET Date: 2/29/96 1:06 AM We have a need, due to application limitations, to define quite a few printer devices which don't exist. (We use NBSPOOL to move those reports to real network printers.) We have defined printers on all the empty ports on both our DTC's and on our HP-IB card. Can we define a "SCSI" printer on the SCSI card (never heard of a SCSI printer)? Can we define DTC cards which aren't there and assign printers to those ports? How about defining other interfaces (HP-IB, HP-FL) which aren't there? -- Glenn A.
