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:

From the Details tab of your printer’s driver, select the Capture Printer Port button.

Select the appropriate virtual port under the Device field.

■

For bindery queues, enter the path as \\server_name\queue_name and select
OK. For example: \\nw_server\Phaser_350

■

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

■

For Windows 3.1x environments follow these guidelines:

From the Windows Control Panel, select Printers.

Select the Connect button, then select the Network button.

Choose a Port to capture, then locate the appropriate queue.

Note

If the appropriate file server is not listed, click the Attach button and select the
desired file server. Login and click OK. Within the Operation section, check the
box next to the word Permanent, then click Connect. The port should then be
captured.
