If you want to create a LAT port, is makes sense to hook the device (your 
printer) to something that "speaks" the LAT protocol, right?

The easy way is to, connect your HP LJ4 (printer), to a Decserver port.  
Then, from DCL create a LAT port and point it to the Decserver node and 
port number.  For example, the desired queue is called HPQUEUE, your 
Decserver nodename is JUNE and the port name is PORT_1, you do as follows:

  $ LATCP CREATE PORT LTA9000 ! It must be an unused port...
  $ LATCP SET PORT LTA9000 /APPL /NODE=JUNE /PORT=PORT_1

Then, you create your print queue:

  $ SET TERMINAL LTA9000 /PERM /DEVICE=LA100 /WIDTH=132 /PAGE=66 /NOBROAD
  $ SET PROT=(S:RWLP,O,G,W:RWLP) LTA9000 /DEVICE
  $ SET DEVICE LTA9000 /SPOOL(HPQUEUE,SYS$SYSDEVICE)
  $ INIT/QUE/START/ON=LTA9000:/PROC=LATSYM/REC HPQUEUE

Hope that helps,
