  OpenVMS Print Queues Stalling? 
 The Question is:
 
printing from vms over declat and nt over tcp/ip causes the vms printer
queue to stall
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  There is not enough information included to begin to resolve this
  question -- please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for
  assistance resolving this question.
 
  LAT and TCP/IP are two completely different protocols, with two entirely
  different queuing mechanisms -- the OpenVMS queue manager is layered onto
  print symbionts (most commonly LATSYM for LAT queues, PRTSMB for non-LAT
  serial queues, and TCP/IP Services symbionts for telnet and lpr/lpd print
  queues).
 
  First, ensure that you have the LATSYM configured as the print symbiont
  processor for the LAT queues.
 
  Then ensure that you have the print symbiont, queue manager, LAT, and
  TCP/IP ECO kits applied for whatever version(s) you have in use.  Both
  TCP/IP V4.2 and V5.0 have (or will soon have) ECO kits available.
 
  Confirm with the printer vendor that you are using the latest version
  of NIC and printer firmware.
 
  If you are using a third-party TCP/IP package (and not TCP/IP Services),
  please contact the third-party for assistance and information on any
  similar situations they may already be familiar with.
 
  When you contact the Compaq Customer Support Center, expect to be asked
  for the specific versions of the OpenVMS and IP packages installed, for
  any error message(s) that arise, for any DMP dump files that might be
  present, for details of the OpenVMS queue configuration, for the state
  of the queues when the hang arises, for information on the TCP/IP
  configuration on the Windows NT system, and likely for other related
  information.
