- This README file of PSV122.ZIP for NetWare v3.11 and v2.2. The
- following files are included for this revision:
-
- PSERVER VAP 64994 7-10-91 12:58p
- PSERVER EXE 108184 7-10-91 12:49p
- PSERVER NLM 50358 7-10-91 1:26p
-
- PSERVER.VAP - This new VAP is intended for NetWare 286 v2.15c and
- above, it fixes a bug that causes the rewind option to return to
- the beginning of a document, ignoring the page number specified by
- the user. This problem occurs when in text mode.
-
- This new VAP also addresses a problem of tabs not working properly.
-
- This new VAP contains the auto load feature which allows an
- unattended load of the pserver.vap. This auto-load feature will only
- be available on a NetWare 2.2 File Server.
-
- AUTO-LOAD NOTES:
-
- - When running this new pserver.vap on a NW 2.2 server the VAP
- will prompt you for the Print Server name the first time the
- VAP is loaded. From that point on the pserver.vap will
- remember the Print Server Name until the name is cleared.
-
- - To CLEAR a Print Server Name the user will simply type:
-
- PSERVER CLEARNAME
-
- at the console prompt on the NW 2.2 File Server. This will
- cause the pserver.vap to prompt the user for a Print Server
- Name on the next load of the pserver.vap.
-
- PSERVER.EXE - This new EXE is intended for users of NetWare 386
- v3.11 and NetWare 286 v2.2 to load a print server on a dedicated
- workstation. This new PSERVER.EXE fixes a possible bug that could
- create data corruption when printing large graphics documents with
- serial and parallel printers. Although this bug has not been seen
- with the EXE, it has been known to occur with PSERVER.NLM. This
- problem is created by a special condition which causes the pointer
- to override the print buffer. As a result, garbage characters are
- printed in the middle of a document. Once the block of bad data is
- printed, the printer resumes printing the document as it should.
-
- This new EXE also addresses a problem of the rewind function not working
- correctly when in text mode. It was also found that tabs were not
- working correctly in the previous release. This issue has been
- fixed in this update.
-
-
- PSERVER.NLM - This new NLM is intended for NetWare 386 v3.11 and
- fixes a bug that when printing large graphics documents with serial
- and parallel printers. This problem is created by a special
- condition which causes the pointer to override the print buffer. As
- a result, garbage characters are printed in the middle of a
- document. Once the block of bad data is printed, the printer
- resumes printing the document as it should.
-
- This new NLM also addresses a problem of the rewind function not working
- correctly when in text mode.
-
- These fixes will be incorporated in future versions of NetWare.
-
-
- NOTE: Refer to your Print Server documentation for more instructions and
- information on how to install the Print Server and for further information
- on features.
