It is a combination of how you define the printer queue in LPDXMANY and routing to the appropriate LPR link.
In LPDXMANY, define a printer queue name which uses the desired translate table, then point to a form which you have defined in LPRFORMS, use a nodeid to point to the desired LPR link, and if the lpr link uses the LPRXONE exit use a userid of ASCII to tell the exit not to translate Best Regards, Les Geer IBM z/VM and Linux Development >Hello Les, > >Maybe you can enlighten me on setting this up.
