Does anyone on the list know of online documentation or have the
paper versions for the following docs. So far all I have found
online was a list of docs on bitsavers and other locations but
they didn't show a location for these.

VAX/VMS Installation Guide:

but not all that necessary.

Postscript Language Reference Manual AA-HL87A-TE

I don't remember those as DEC publications or DEC part numbers. But
those titles sounds like Adobe books from that era, which may still be
available for all I know. Oversized paperbacks; the tutorial is blue,
the reference manual is red. Very nice books, crucial to have if you
want to write your own PostScript.
(Then again, you could just learn Forth first, then PostScript can
almost be picked up by inspection.)

Well, they're both stack-based languages, but there are significant
differences. In general, Forth only lets you push integers onto the
stack, Postscript (and RPL) allow you to push various data types.

I'm not all that interested in the postscript books except it
would be nice to have a full set of applicable docs. The
service repair guide is the main one that I need to locate. The
host installation and management guides are probably superseded
by the newer software provided with the layered products for VMS
7.x so they aren't quite as important. The client installation
and management guides could contain information that is hardware
specific and would be useful.
Since I have never had the privilege to install and set up one
of these printers I would rather have plenty of information. I
also don't try to maintain a strict museum quality collection
but I do like to obtain the applicable documents to go with the
equipment that I have.
