SYMPTOMS
The following switches to the SET PRINTER TO \\SPOOLER command do not consistently direct the printer setup on a Novell network:   \NB               Suppresses the printing of a banner page. \F =       Specifies the form number to print on. \B =    Specifies a banner name. \C =       Specifies the number of copies to be printed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs only with the Novell 3.26 shell or later. Older versions of the software work correctly, but they may produce other problems if you are using Windows. Novell 3.26 or later is the preferred software to use with Windows.



RESOLUTION
These options should be set by using the RUN command to shell out to MS-DOS and then using the Novell CAPTURE command. After printing, you must close the print file and send the print job. To do this, either issue a RUN ENDCAP command or quit FoxPro.
