| - | 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. |
DCPS runs on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX systems. The files that are installed on the two systems differ. See the Release Notes for a full list of the files.
Starting with DCPS V2.0, the need for DCPS-OPEN and DCPS-PLUS licenses has been eliminated. The right to use all features of DCPS is now included with the OpenVMS operating system license. |
DCPS V2.2 is fully supported on currently-supported versions of the OpenVMS operating system:
Although DCPS V2.2 will install on systems running OpenVMS
Alpha V6.1 or later, or OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 or later, customers running
OpenVMS versions that are not currently supported do so at their own
risk.
1.2 Disk Space
Depending on whether DCPS is installed on an Alpha or VAX processor, disk space requirements may vary. Table 1-1 lists the disk space requirements.
| Disk space required for ... | Alpha system | VAX system |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | 7400 blocks | 5900 blocks |
| Permanent use | 6900 blocks | 5500 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 DEC C Run-Time Library
DCPS requires that the DEC 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.
1.3.3 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 protocol, require one of the following:
Printers connected to AppleTalk networks can be accessed by the DCPS software, and thus be made available to OpenVMS system users as shared network printers. This printing system configuration requires PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Macintosh) software.
PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Macintosh) has been retired and is no longer supported. |
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.
1.3.6 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. For example:
$ start/que atk_1152 %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 13-FEB-1995 21:38:08.66 %%%%%%%%%%% Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on DAHLIA %QMAN-E-SYMDEL, unexpected symbiont process termination %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 13-FEB-1995 21:38:08.67 %%%%%%%%%%% Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on DAHLIA -SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=00000000, PC=0001A9B8, PSL=03C00000 |

This chapter describes how to install DECprint Supervisor software using the
VMSINSTAL utility. If you are not familiar with the VMSINSTAL utility,
refer to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
2.1 Overview
Follow these steps to install the DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS software:
VMSINSTAL will prompt you for site-specific information. Questions are preceded by an asterisk (*) and may be followed by default responses enclosed in brackets ([]). Enter your response followed by [Return].
Press [Return] to enter the default response. If you are not sure of the response, enter a question mark (?). VMSINSTAL displays explanatory text and repeats the prompt.
Messages specific to the installation of DECprint Supervisor software are
listed in Appendix B.
2.3 Installing the Software
This section does not reproduce all of the text you may see on your screen during the installation of the DCPS software. Sample VMSINSTAL installation scripts are shown in Appendix A. |
To install the software, use the following procedure:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DCPSpppnnn device-id [OPTIONS N] |
%VMSINSTAL-W-NOTSYSTEM, You are not logged in to the SYSTEM account. |
%VMSINSTAL-W-ACTIVE, The following processes are still active:
process-name
|
* Do you want to continue anyway [NO]? |
The above conditions may cause VMSINSTAL to function improperly. In particular, problems may occur with file ownership if you are not logged into the SYSTEM account. |
* Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? |
VMSINSTAL attempts to ensure that a power failure or system crash will not corrupt your system disk. However, for absolute safety we recommend that you back it up before installing new products. Please see the documentation for more information on crashes during installation. |
Please mount the first volume of the set on device-id: * Are you ready? |
