PATHWORKS for Macintosh Configuration

If you are using PATHWORKS for Macintosh, you will need to make sure
that you have a bi-directional channel (in other words, you did NOT enter
the command

SET SERVICE servicename RECEIVE ENABLED

from the remote console). Then create a LAT port using LATCP as shown
in the following example (substitute your actual node name and LAT port
number):

CREATE PORT LTA53:/APPLICATION
SET PORT LTA53:/NODE=BRO_009C53/PORT=P1

Do not set the LAT port as a spooled device. Now go into ADMIN/MSA
and enter the command:

ADD PRINTER name/QUEUE=queuename/DEST=LTA53:

where

name

is the name of the printer, and

queuename

is the queue

name.

DECprint Supervisor Configuration Notes

If you want to use the Brother print server with the DECprint Supervisor
software, you must have the DCPS-Open option in order to support Brother
printers (you may also need to modify the DCPS device control modules
and queue setup to handle "unrecognized" printers). Do not use the

SET

SERVICE RECEIVE

command because bi-directional communications is

required for DCPS.
