My DEC sales droids have been expousing the virtues of running the DEC
printserver20 from our VAXs ( VMS ) over running them from our normal Unix  
( TCP/IP -lpd ) interface.

Could anyone out there give me their impressions/experiences
concerning this printer?

We would prefer to run from the normal lpd interface.

Also, an aside, does dec support tcp/ip lpd type printing from their
VAX VMS machines?  We can do it with 3'rd party software, but was
wondering if dec supported it ( or anyone had tried this ).
