This section outlines how to send print files from VSE/ESA to SDI LPD. Additional information about LPR on VSE/ESA is in the following manuals:
TCP/IP for VSE User's Guide
TCP/IP for VSE Programmer's Reference
Configure an SDI LPD Print Queue for VSE/ESA Print Files
Before you can send print files from VSE/ESA LPR to SDI LPD, you must create a print queue in LPD.
There are 4 methods of sending print jobs from VSE to LPD:
| 1. | Using the LPR CICS transaction. |
| 2. | Using the Automatic LPR client (AUTOLPR) facility to send output from a job to LPD. |
| 3. | Using the LPR batch client to print a file and send it to LPD. |
| 4. | From an application program using the sockets interface. |
The first 3 methods are discussed in detail in the TCP/IP for VSE User's Guide. The last method is discussed in the TCP/IP for VSE Programmer's Reference.
