OK.

I'll try that tomorrow when the porsonell are at the printer
to monitor the outcome.

Now, the production printouts are not done via the PRINT command.
It is "printed" by a spooled LTA device that points to a queue
that in turn points to the DCPS queue.

So the application simply opens a device (LTAxxx) and prints to
that one. I guess long time ago, these was directly connected
printers on DS200 servers with no spooling or quemgr at all.


$ sh dev lta9960:

Device                  Device           Error
  Name                   Status           Count
LTA9960:                Online spooled       0

$ sh que lta9960
Logical queue LTA9960, idle, assigned to PRSEHSQ190

$ show que PRSEHSQ190
Printer queue PRSEHSQ190, idle, on HV06::"IP_LPD/10.32.141.190", mounted 
form DEF_CHAR_SW (stock=DEFAULT)
$

So if the /PARAMETERS=DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT, how to include that
in this setup?
