Unwanted Banner Page Printed from MS-DOS-Based Program

Q166460

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
After you turn off banner pages, printing from MS-DOS-based programs may still print banner pages.

CAUSE
The program is printing to a UNC printer name instead of to a port.

RESOLUTION
Capture the printer port. To do so, follow these steps:


 * 1) Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
 * 2) Use the right mouse button to click the printer you want to use, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
 * 3) Click the Details tab, and then click the Capture Printer Port button.
 * 4) Click the port to be captured (such as LPT2) and the path to the network printer (such as \\ServerName\PrinterShare).

NOTE: To make this connection available every time Windows 95 is started, click the Reconnect At Logon check box to select it.
 * 1) In the printer's properties, in the box that shows the print server and share name, look for the entry that shows "LPT," where  is the port you have captured.
 * 2) Click LPT (\\\), and then click Apply.
 * 3) Click the Capture tab, disable the banner page setting, and then click OK.
