Hello all, trying to get my facts straight here for printing from an AREV 3.12 application…
If printing to a networked printer from an *NT workstation* on either Novell or NT, you need to use NET USE in order to print to LPT1.
If printing from a *W95/98 workstation* on either Novell or NT, you can go into properties for the desired printer and capture the LPT1 port.
Is that correct?
TIA,

NET DELETE LPT1
NET USE LPT1 NOVELLSERVER/NOVELLPRINTQUEUENAME /PERSISTENT:YES * hint - use a different lpt port for the network printer like * lpt3 if they have a local lpt1, then pdisk lpt3 * from AREV on logon Win 95 workstations, use for lpt1 connected to the Novell server CAPTURE Q=QUEUENAME TI=5 NB NFF L=1 /NA Win 95 workstations, use for lpt3 CAPTURE Q=QUEUENAME TI=5 NB NFF L=3 /NA You can check if NT is loaded by finding the USERNAME= setting in the DOS environment. If the printer is a discrete server device attached to your NT network with its own IP address then NET USE …. is required from all workstations. Hope this proves workable in your setting, Steve </QUOTE> —- === At 18 JUN 2000 10:16PM Mike O'Neal wrote: === <QUOTE>Thanks Steve! Mike </QUOTE> View this thread on the forum...
