Using CAPTURE at the Command Line

Use CAPTURE at the command line to set up printing by completing the following procedure.

Procedure

1Type the following command at a DOS prompt:

CAPTURE [option] <Enter>

See Chapter 3, “Command Line Parameters Reference,” in NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows Technical Reference for a listing of available options and descriptions.

2(Conditional) If you are running applications that print to a port, such as LPT1, set up the correct print driver within each application for the printer you are sending jobs to.

See the manufacturer’s documentation for information about print drivers.

Once you have captured a port to a network printer or print queue, all printing from the screen or applications to LPT1 will be redirected to the designated server and queue.

NOTE:You can’t use CAPTURE with COM ports (you can use it only with LPT ports). However, the DOS MODE command allows you to redirect COM ports to LPT ports. For more information, see your DOS manual or the documentation that came with your printer.

Example

An example of a common command line statement for the CAPTURE utility is as follows:

CAPTURE /Q=LASERJET4 /S=SALES /P=P1 /TI=5
