This manual is for system managers responsible for installing the DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS printing software. To install the printing software, it is necessary to have some experience with:
If your printing environment utilizes the network to communicate with printers, you must have some knowledge of network management tools.
The System Manager's GuideSystem Manager's Guide contains information about post-installation tasks, such as creating queues and customizing your printing environment.

DECprint Supervisor runs on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX systems. Some minor differences exist between the two types of installations:
Depending on whether DECprint Supervisor 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.
1.2 Checking for Optional DECprint Supervisor Licenses
Depending on whether you install DECprint Supervisor on a Alpha or VAX processor, one or both of the optional DECprint Supervisor licenses may be required:
Install the software license(s) on at least one node in a VMScluster system. Compaq recommends that you install the license(s) on at least two nodes to ensure that your printing system always has a backup node.
If you do not install the licenses and try to use the features included in either DCPS-Open or DCPS-Plus, you receive one of the following errors:
NOLICENSE, DCPS-OPEN license required to use printer-name NOLICENSE, DCPS-PLUS license required to use feature |
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
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. To run on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 and V6.0 systems, the DEC C/C++ Run-Time Components kit must be installed before installing DCPS.
To determine if the DEC C run-time library exists on your system, check for the existence of the file SYS$STARTUP:CRT$STARTUP.COM. If this file exists, the DEC C/C++ Run-Time Components kit has already been installed. If it does not, you must install the DEC C/C++ Run-Time Components kit before installing .
The DEC C/C++ Run-Time Components kit is included on the DCPS CD-ROM
starting with V1.6, and is also available on the OpenVMS VAX Software
Product Library CD-ROM distributed by Compaq. Please refer to the DEC
C/C++ Run-Time Components documentation for information about
installing the kit, starting with Read Before Installing or Using
DEC C/C++ Run-Time Components Version 6.0 for OpenVMS VAX Systems.
1.3.2 PrintServer Software
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:
Printers connected to AppleTalk networks can be accessed by the
DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS software, and thus be made available to OpenVMS system
users as shared network printers. This printing system configuration
requires PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Macintosh) software.
1.3.5 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.
1.3.6 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 Ensuring that All Executable Components Are Compatible
All DCPS executable components attempt to ensure they are a matched set. If a mis-match 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 Upgrade and Installation Manual.
2.1 Overview
Follow these steps to install the 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.
VMSINSTAL messages are documented in the OpenVMS Upgrade and Installation Manual. 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 DECprint Supervisor 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? |
