<p>Xenophore: /* See also */ Removed dead link</p> <hr /> <div>A '''symbiont''' is a piece of software that transfers data to be printed to an output device. OpenVMS provides a standard print symbiont named [[PRTSMB]] which prints files on hardcopy devices. Other examples of symbionts include [[TELNETSYM]], [[LATSYM]], [[NULLSYM]] and others including user-written symbionts. Symbionts are stored as .EXE files in [[SYS$SYSTEM]] and are specified when creating a [[Print Queue|print queue]].<br /> <br /> =List of OpenVMS Symbionts=<br /> <br /> Symbionts written for OpenVMS include:<br /> * [[PRTSMB]]<br /> * [[LATSYM]]<br /> * [[NULLSYM]]<br /> * [[TELNETSYM]] ([[UCX$TELNETSYM]] or [[TCPIP$TELNETSYM]])<br /> Telnetsym is a modified version of an OpenVMS symbiont that understands IP and as such, it understands all of the standard OpenVMS symbiont functions. A telnetsym queue can be created from the DCL prompt. For TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, V4.2 or lower, the symbiont name is UCX$TELNETSYM. For TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, V5.0 or higher the symbiont name is TCPIP$TELNETSYM.<br /> * LPR and LPD symbionts<br /> * TCPware symbiont<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> * [https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00601208 How to Debug an OpenVMS Printer Using Telnetsym]</div>
