- Printing from Nondedicated File Servers
-
- It has been found that version 2.01 of Lotus 1-2-3 (and subsequent
- releases) will not print from a nondedicated file server to a network printer.
- (This is true for all versions of nondedicated Netware.)
-
- Prior to a printing operation, Lotus will check the equipment list to see
- that a printer is available. Because the printer port has been defined as a
- network printer, the equipment list is cleared. A SPOOL command must be
- issued before any applications can print. Any applications, such as BASIC,
- that check for the presence of the printer will see that none are available
- according to the equipment list and will not allow printing to occur.
-
- By running "PRFIX.COM" prior to entering the application, the equipment
- list will be modified to show that a printer is available and allow the
- application to print. Remember that a SPOOL command must be entered before
- the PRFIX command is entered.
-
- The program PRFIX.COM is available from Netwire or LANSWER.
