NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
NETWORK PRINTERS=number
Sets the number of LPT ports the NetWare DOS Requester software can capture. This parameter allows you to capture and redirect LPT1 through LPT9.
Increasing the number value increases memory use. Setting the value for this parameter to 0 specifies that PRINT.VLM does not load.
If you are setting more than three ports in MS Windows, edit the MS Windows WIN.INI file with an ASCII text editor and add as many lines as you need under the [port] section.
For example:
[port]
lp1:=
lp2:=
lp3:=
lp4:=
net1:=
record.prn=
Add a filename to a line under the [ports] option to have print files print directly to this file. The filename should have a .PRN file extension followed by an equal sign.
This causes the named file to appear in the Control Panel “Printer Configuration” dialog box. Any print jobs sent to this file direct their output to it.
