Printing : TSSYM - "unable to translate host name" message

Question:

What causes the following OPCOM message?

%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM  14-JAN-1997 12:23:40.34  %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user SYSTEM on TEST
%TCPWARE_TSSYM-W-IAXLAT, unable to translate host name PRINTER for queue TEST2

Answer:

The TSSYM print symbiont is unable to translate the name PRINTER into an Internet address. "PRINTER" should be added to the HOSTS. file or into the proper DNS domain configuration. Alternately, if you know the Internet address you can change the queue to use it instead of the name and avoid the need for the translation.
