The following conventions are used in this manual:
| Ctrl/ x | A sequence such as Ctrl/ x indicates that you must hold down the key labeled Ctrl while you press another key or a pointing device button. |
| [Return] |
In examples, a key name enclosed in a box indicates that you press a
key on the keyboard. (In text, a key name is not enclosed in a box.)
In the HTML version of this document, this convention appears as brackets, rather than a box. |
| ... |
A horizontal ellipsis in examples indicates one of the following
possibilities:
|
| ( ) | In command format descriptions, parentheses indicate that you must enclose choices in parentheses if you specify more than one. |
| [ ] | In command format descriptions, brackets indicate optional choices. You can choose one or more items or no items. Do not type the brackets on the command line. However, you must include the brackets in the syntax for OpenVMS directory specifications and for a substring specification in an assignment statement. |
| | | In command format descriptions, vertical bars separate choices within brackets or braces. Within brackets, the choices are optional; within braces, at least one choice is required. Do not type the vertical bars on the command line. |
| { } | In command format descriptions, braces indicate required choices; you must choose at least one of the items listed. Do not type the braces on the command line. |
| bold text | This typeface represents the introduction of a new term. It also represents the name of an argument, an attribute or a reason. |
| italic text | Italic text indicates important information, complete titles of manuals or variables. Variables include information that varies in system output (Internal error number), in command lines (/PRODUCER= name) and in command parameters in text (where dd represents the predefined code for the device type). |
| UPPERCASE TEXT | Uppercase text indicates a command, the name of a routine, the name of a file, or the abbreviation for a system privilege. |
| Monospace text | Monospace type indicates code examples and interactive screen displays. |
| - | A hyphen at the end of a command format description, command line or code line indicates that the command or statement continues on the following line. |
| numbers | All numbers in text are assumed to be decimal unless otherwise noted. Nondecimal radixes---binary, octal or hexadecimal---are explicitly indicated. |
The following are the supported versions of the OpenVMS operating system:
For a current list of supported OpenVMS versions, visit the following address:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/openvms_supportchart.html
|
Although the DCPS V2.5 PCSI kit will install and run on OpenVMS V6.2 and later, and the DCPS V2.5 VMSINSTAL kit will install and run on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 and later, customers running OpenVMS versions that are not supported do so at their own risk.
If you are running an older version of OpenVMS under a Prior Version support contract, such as OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, contact HP for a DCPS VMSINSTAL kit. (See Section 1.3.1 for more information about PCSI software requirements.)
* With Prior Version Support contract |
Depending on whether DCPS is installed on an Alpha, I64 or VAX processor, disk space requirements may vary. Table 1-1 lists the disk space requirements.
| Disk space required for ... | Alpha system | I64 system | VAX system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installation | 7,700 blocks | 11,000 blocks | 7,200 blocks |
| Permanent use | 7,200 blocks | 10,500 blocks | 6,700 blocks |
These disk space requirements are approximate, and depend on your
system environment, disk cluster size, configuration and software
options.
1.3 Related Software
DECprint Supervisor works with other software to create a fully functional printing system. Before installing DECprint Supervisor, make sure the other application and printing software is compatible.
The following sections detail the software you need. Refer to the
DECprint Supervisor Software Product Description (SPD) for specific version
requirements.
1.3.1 POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility (PCSI)
DCPS is now installed with the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility (PCSI) instead of VMSINSTAL. This makes installation faster and provides better management of your installed software.
For a complete description of the PCSI utility and the use of the PRODUCT command, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual and the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual or online help.
If you are running older versions of OpenVMS, you may be required to install a PCSI patch kit before installing DCPS. See Table 1-2 to determine whether you need to install a PCSI patch. The patch will upgrade PCSI on your system.
| OpenVMS Version | PCSI Patch Kit |
|---|---|
| Alpha V6.2 through V7.1-2 | DEC-AXPVMS-VMS62TO71U2_PCSI-V0200--4 |
| Alpha V7.2 and later | not required |
| I64 V8.2 and later | not required |
| VAX V5.5-2 | not available; contact HP for a DCPS VMSINSTAL kit |
| VAX V6.2 through V7.1 | DEC-VAXVMS-VMS62TO71_PCSI-V0200--4 |
| VAX V7.2 | DEC-VAXVMS-VMS72_PCSI-V0101--4 |
| VAX V7.3 | not required |
You can obtain these patch kits:
DCPS requires that the C run-time library is installed on your system. This library is included with the OpenVMS operating system starting with OpenVMS V6.1, and in the DEC C/C++ Run-Time Components kit. Therefore:
To print to a DIGITAL PrintServer printer, the printing environment
must contain a supporting host system running the PrintServer software
product.
1.3.4 TCP/IP Networks
TCP/IP connections to PrintServer printers using Common Printer Access Protocol (CPAP), and connections to other printers using the Raw TCP/IP socket or LPD protocols, require one of the following:
One of the network protocols used by DCPS is AppleTalk, provided on OpenVMS Alpha and VAX systems by the layered product PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Macintosh). Although this product is retired and no longer supported, DCPS has continued to work with AppleTalk queues.
However, changes made to OpenVMS in V8.2 prevent the AppleTalk protocol
from being started. Therefore, DCPS does not work with AppleTalk queues
starting with OpenVMS V8.2.
1.3.6 DDIF Printing
To print DDIF encoded bitonal images, DCPS requires that either
DECwindows or DECimage Application Services (DAS) be installed on your
system. DAS is only available on OpenVMS VAX systems.
1.3.7 DEC Image Print-PLUS (ICPS)
DCPS V1.1 and later versions cannot coexist with ICPS V1.x software.
Installing DCPS replaces the image SYS$LIBRARY:TRN$DDIF_IMAGE.EXE. This
new image is not compatible with the ICPS software.
1.4 Mismatched Components
All DCPS executable components attempt to ensure they are a matched set. If a mismatch occurs, DCPS reports an error when the queue starts. This error occurs when a component of a prior (incompatible) software version exists in the SYS$SPECIFIC area and newer components are installed in the SYS$COMMON area. The error that occurs depends on which versions of which components are executing, but the following message will be among those received:
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 13-FEB-1995 21:38:08.66 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on DAHLIA
%QMAN-E-SYMDEL, unexpected symbiont process termination
|
The DCPS installation procedure checks for DCPS files in the SYS$SPECIFIC area and warns you of their existence.
This chapter describes how to install DECprint Supervisor software using the
POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility (PCSI). For a complete
description of the PCSI utility and the use of the PRODUCT command,
refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual and the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual or
online help.
2.1 Overview
