No More Maintenance for VMScluster Line Printers

By Rick Millhollin (rickm@oregon.uoregon.edu)

The Computing Center recently removed both the line printers on the VMScluster from service contract, opting to perform repairs on a per-call basis instead.

As a result, turnaround on repairs may be slower (DEC/Compaq gives higher priority to devices that are on contract). In the event of a serious breakdown, it is also likely that the line printers will not be replaced. We encourage everyone to move their printing jobs to their own local printers or to the Computing Center's Xerox N24 laser printers if need be.

The name of the queue for the Xerox lasers is sys$docuprint
