netware 4.x/DOS printing

[Jaydon]

Here's the situation.....I have a netware 4.1 server and a 98 machine with a HP laserjet 5 connected to the server's printer port. I can print from the win 98 machine However Dos apps will not. I tried remapping the drive and making it a network drive and yes I checked the box to enable dos printing. This action did not rectify the problem.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone had any ideas on the matter.
Thanks for those who post ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Type " net use " (leaving off the quotes). See if your LPT1 (LPTx) printer is assigned to the correct network printer or even if it is reassigned. You can use net use to associate a LPTx port to a network printer. I think this works with Novell too but I could be wrong.

You need to issue a capture command, either from a login script or from command line.

Something like this:

capture q=<queuename> l=1 nb nff ti=15

If you type &quot;capture sh&quot; a the dos prompt, it will show you a summary of your current captures. Most old dos apps require LPT1, but if you need to use a different LPT, substitute l=2 or l=3 or whatever port number you need.
