MS-DOS/PC-DOS Workstations

For printing from DOS-based workstations, you can use the CAPTURE command to redirect one of the workstation’s printer ports (LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3) to the network print queue. The syntax for the CAPTURE command is:

CAPTURE L=n S=server Q=queue TI=n F=form B=bannername

Choose values for the options as follows:

L=n Determines which local port will be redirected to the network print queue. L=1 corresponds to LPT1, L=2 corresponds to LPT2, and L=3 corresponds to LPT3. By default, LPT1 is captured.

S=server Determines which server the print queue is located on. By default, your login file server is used.

Q=queue Determines which print queue your print jobs are redirected to.

TI=n Sets the timeout for Autoendcap. After your application starts printing, if it goes for n seconds without any additional printer output, then NetWare assumes that the print job is finished and sends it to the printer. If your print jobs are becoming split up you may need to increase this setting.

F=form Determines which form print jobs will use. Forms can be defined using PRINTDEF.

B=bannername Sets the text that appears on the banner for the job. By default the banner text is LST:. You can disable the banner entirely using the NB option.

You can add the CAPTURE command to your network startup batch file, or add it to your login script preceded with a # symbol.

NetWare Settings

If necessary, you can use the Queue Service Settings tab of the NetWare Configuration dialog window to set several of the print server’s parameters.
