LSDRIVER - Spooled Printer Driver				9-DEC-1989

This 'do-nothing' driver allows the creation of devices that
look like line printers to SET DEVICE/SPOOLED so that users
can spool in the absence of real printers.

I use this to create a set of six dummy devices on each of
my VAXcluster nodes which are spooled to generic or device queues.
Each node thus has the same spooled printer environment.
I never set real devices spooled (this simplifies operations).

To use this driver, place LSDRIVER.EXE in SYS$SYSTEM (which could be a
search list), or SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES (VMS V5). You can change the file name.

Create a device:

	SYSGEN CONNECT LSA0/NOADAP/DRIVER=LSDRIVER
	(SYSGEN CONNECT LSA1/NOADAP/DRIVER=LSDRIVER etc)

	NOTE: V4 SYSGEN gets confused if a device and/or directory
	spec is given in the /DRIVER qualifier - it will corrupt
	the device database!

	The device names don't have to begin with LSA - any similar
	prefix will do (you just need to avoid clashes with DEC device names).


To change printer characteristics:

	SET PRINTER LSA0 ...   (e.g. /WIDTH=80/TRUNCATE)

To set spooled:

	SET DEVICE/SPOOLED LSA0
