I have a user who, while VPN into our network and telnet'd to a VMS host, wishes to submit a VMS print job to a VMS print queue and have it printout on his parallel (LPT1:) printer that's connected to his PC. Has anyone out there had to configure something like this before? What's the most straight forward way to do this? Even in concept how would this be done? Thanks in advance.

It is possible if TCPIP is used on both PC and VMS server. LPR/LPD has the functionality to print to a remote queue.

If you still need help send me a mail.
