<<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.
