Right. Works fine on RSX too.
You just submit the job for another machine.

Subject: [HECnet] Printing across HECnet
Hi guys,
Just wondering whether there is a 'standard' mechanism for queueing print jobs
across DECnet areas (for example from an arbitrary node to SLAVE via HECnet)?
I've acquired a PSI PP404 high speed wide carriage printer as well as a large quantity
of 11x14 paper, so was wondering if there would be any interest in an 'occasional'
printing service for the cost of postage for those who either don't have a printer
connected to their DEC machines or more likely who'd like wide continuous listings.
From a VMS perspective I'd need to be able to queue up print jobs for batch printing
by automating turning on the printer once a day, clearing the print queue, and then
turning the printer off. I've got the facility to programmatically turn the power on
and off. The printer would be connected to a DECserver 90M.
Any ideas?
Regards, Mark
