Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: Rexx doesn't talk to \pipe\lpd0

Content Type: text/plain

An old REXX app, 2UP.CMD, works great on locally connected printers, but not
on two PS printers with Hawking print servers on the home LAN running
lprportd. Two PS printers, xerox c20 and HP 4MP on ports \PIPE\LPD0 & 1, both
work fine from epm, wordpro or drag and drop, etc, but neither will print via
2up.cmd or from list1508.cmd, a REXX PS printing script in Bill Schindler's
book. Both REXX scripts use charout and lineout. stream(\PIPE\LPDn,'S')
returns an error in REXXTRY. Adding 2UP.CMD as a filter in the port
properties doesn't help (but I don't think that's what I want to do anyway).
I suspect something needs to be added to the REXX code.
