= MORE INFORMATION =

The Novell CAPTURE utility allows you to print from applications not specifically designed for networks and screen displays. CAPTURE intercepts print requests from the workstation’s printer port and sends them to a print queue on the file server. The print queue is then serviced by the appropriate printer. The NA (No Autoendcap) switch used in the capture command listed above captures a job in its entirety to the queue.

ENDCAP returns the printer to its original mapping (allowing you to print to your local printer in a normal fashion) and prints the file stored in the print queue. This command must be executed if the NA switch is used, or the job and all subsequent jobs printed will remain in the print queue and not be printed.
