Your system manager can set up a local print queue to handle
print jobs for files sent from a remote UNIX host. To print
UNIX files on an OpenVMS printer, the UNIX user enters the
lpr command. (For more information, see the appropriate UNIX
documentation.)
Local queues that are set up to receive UNIX print jobs support
layup definition files. These are files are supported only
on OpenVMS and are used to set the following layup features:
borders, sheet margins, alternating sheet margins, pages per
sheet, first page, page order, and page grid.
1 – Examples
The following example sends UNIX file /usr/stanton/recent.cnts
to OpenVMS print queue REMOTE_QUEUE4 and specifies the formatting
defined in the layup file called layup3. The REMOTE_QUEUE4 print
queue is set up as a remote queue in the printcap file by the
system manager.
% lpr -Llayup3 -Premote_queue4 /usr/stanton/recent.cnts
