Downloading files if your printer is connected to a Novell Netware
network
This procedure lets you redirect (capture) LPT ports in Novell NetWare. NetWare queues
can be captured from the DOS Prompt or captured directly from Windows. To find out if
an LPT port is already captured, type the following command from the DOS Prompt:
capture show
This will list the current capture data for each virtual port.
Note
If an
ad
command or file name error occurs, run the command from the file
servers Public directory.
■
For NetWare 3.xx and Netware 4.xx bindery queues:
capture q=[queue_name] l=[port] nb nff nt
where
queue_name
is the name of the queue to be captured, and
port
is the virtual
port to capture to, such as LPT3.
Also,
nb
is no banners,
nff
is no form feeds, and
nt
is no tabs.
For example:
capture q=phaser_350 l=3 nb nff nt
Note
For NetWare 4.xx NDS queues, the queue name needs to start with a period. For
example:
capture q=.phaser_350_q.nds.printers.support l=2 nb nff nt.
■
For Windows 95 / 98 environments follow these guidelines:
1.

\\server_name\queue_name
and select

■
For NDS queues, enter the path as
\\Tree\queue_name.context
and select OK.
For example: \\Tek\.Phaser_350_Q.nds.printers
■
