  PrintServer access from PC clients? 
 The Question is:
 
I have 2 x PrintServer 17/600s connected to my Alpha Cluster via Decnet &amp; DCPS.
 I am also running pathworks and have found in the past that sharing these
 printers will not allow my PC clients to print to them. To get around this
 problem, I ave been forced
 to install the Digital Print Monitor on each PC and print firectly from the PC
 to the PrintServer.
 
I have recently installed a Windows 2000 server and would like to install the
 PrintServer 17/600s on that server but so far as I know, there is not a
 Digital print Monitor available for Windows 2000. Can you confirm this ?
 
The only option left to me may be to use a LPR TCP port on the 2000 server and
 to configure LPD on the Alpha Cluster to allow the 2000 machine to print to
 these printers but I have tried that and get a LPD communication error.
 
I have also tried using a RAW TCP port on the 2000 server (on port 170) but
 that doesn;t work either.
 
Can you suggest a suitable solution ? I am running UCX Version 4.2
 
 The Answer is:
 
  As this does not appear to be an OpenVMS question, please contact the
  Compaq Customer Support Center -- OpenVMS can and does access various
  PrintServer printers via DCPS or LPR/LPD, and can share access to the
  printers with other cooperating PrintServer clients and can serve these
  printers to other clients via various protocols.  The OpenVMS Wizard is
  not particularly in a position to discuss PrintServer clients for other
  platforms, nor printing problems with PrintServer printers -- the OpenVMS
  Wizard is a Wizard on OpenVMS and is not particularly known as a Wizard
  in other areas.  Again, please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center.
