- PROBLEM: When you select an existing print job configuration in
- PRINTCON, it will try to connect you to the server in the
- job configuration. If the server name has been changed
- since the configuration was made, the user will get an error
- "Cannot attach to selected server as guest".
-
- The user we were working with upgraded from NetWare v2.15 to
- NetWare 386 v3.1 and changed the server name. This made all
- his existing print job configurations useless. He even
- tried renaming the NetWare 386 v3.1 server to the old name.
- This still did not recover the use of his old print jobs.
-
- SOLUTION: The only way we were able to see the jobs was to change the
- server name in the PRINTCON.DAT file (in the user's mail
- directory). Using DEBUG, we scanned and replaced the server
- name. This allowed him to document the jobs and then
- rebuild them from scratch on the 386 v3.1 system.
-
- This problem has been reported to Engineering.
