  The Terse Available Printers Dept 
 The Question is:
 
Which printers are available for this system?
 
 
 The Answer is :
 
  If you wish to know which printers are available on your local
  OpenVMS system, please see the SHOW QUEUE/DEVICE command.
 
  If you wish to purchase a printer with direct support within
  the software, please see the information included in the DCPS
  Software Product Description (SPD).  Many HP printers and
  various third-party printers are supported by the DCPS package.
  For pointers to the SPD website, please see the OpenVMS FAQ.
 
  DCPS is licensed with OpenVMS, but is seperately installed.
 
  If you wish to acquire and support your own printers, most
  network-based and most serial printers can be made to operate
  with OpenVMS, using information in the OpenVMS System Manager's
  Essentials manual and (for network-based printing) from Ask The
  Wizard topics here, such as (1020).
 
  For information on LPR/LPD or telnet-based printing, please
  see the TCP/IP Services documentation -- TCP/IP Services and
  various third-party IP stacks for OpenVMS offer clients (and
  also servers) for use with these common IP printing protocols.
