Lotus Notes Does Not Print to a Network Printer with UNC Path |
Q134514
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
SYMPTOMS
When you try to print a document from Lotus Notes to a network printer, the document is not printed.
CAUSE
The printer is connected using a Uniform Naming Conventions (UNC) path. Lotus Notes does not recognize the UNC path, and therefore cannot find the printer.
RESOLUTION
If you use a network printer, make sure the network path is associated with a printer port. (This is also referred to as "capturing" a printer port.) Otherwise, when you print to a network printer from Lotus Notes, you may encounter problems.
To capture a printer port, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers on the menu that appears.
- In the Printers dialog box, using the right mouse button, click the icon for the printer you use, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
- In the Properties box for the printer, click the Details tab, and then click the Capture Printer Port button.
- In the Capture Printer Port dialog box, select the port the printer is connected to, and then type the path to the printer.
- In the Lotus Notes Printer Setup dialog box, select the printer you captured.
