How to Enable Print Notification with NetWare Print Servers

Q131004

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

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= /server= /queue= /notify" where  is the LPT port,  is the NetWare server name, and  is the NetWare print queue name you are using.

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.
