Printer Queue names |
P1, P2, P3, SP are used if the user does not supply queue names as parameters. |
To print a job to the Print Server PSxxxxxx, you can use NetWare's standard utilities: CAPTURE, NPRINT, or PCONSOLE.
On-line help for these commands is obtained by typing /? after the command. (e.g. CAPTURE /? [ENTER] )
In the following examples, print queue P1 is serviced by Print Server PSxxxxxx. To print, the file is sent to print queue P1.
Example 1:
To use NPRINT to print the file c:\config.sys to PSxxxxxx, using the queue "P1", use the command:
NPRINT c:\config.sys /Q=P1 /NOTI /T=4 /NFF /NB
For NPRINT usage and options, see your NetWare documentation.
Example 2:
To use CAPTURE to print the file c:\config.sys to the Print Server port associated with print queue "P1", use the commands:
CAPTURE /L=1 /Q=P1 /NOTI /NT /FF /NB
COPY c:\config.sys LPT1
In this example, output destined for LPT1 is redirected to Print Queue P1. It will then be printed by the printer associated with this queue.
