SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks (NWREDIR.VXD) to
print to a NetWare print queue, print notification is not an option in the
properties for the printer.
CAUSE
Windows 95 provides the following common Novell NetWare capture settings:
- Banner Page
- Form Feed
- Expand Tabs
- Form
- Timeout
Capture settings that do not appear in the printer properties can be
enabled using the NetWare CAPTURE command.
RESOLUTION
To receive notification when a print job is finished on a NetWare print
queue, follow these steps:
- Use the following command in your user or system login script
capture L=<x> /server=<y> /queue=<z> /notify
For more information about the CAPTURE command, please consult
your NetWare administrator, documentation, or dealer.
- Install the printer. Make sure that the "Print to the following port"
setting is set to the port you are using, not to the printe's
UNC name.
- Run Winpopup.exe from the Windows directory. (Winpopup.exe is
installed when you install the Microsoft Client for Microsoft
Networks or NetWare Networks.)
After you follow these steps, the NetWare print server uses WinPopUp
to send you print notifications.
