- PSERVER.VAP NetWare 286 v2.15c and above
- 02/11/91 64130
- 1) This VAP shipped with NetWare 2.2 and 3.11.
-
- 07/10/91 64994
- 1) 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.
-
- 2) This VAP also addresses a problem of tabs not working
- properly.
-
- 3) This 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.NLM NetWare v3.11
- 02/11/91 51208
- 1) This NLM shipped with NetWare 3.11.
-
- 07/10/91 50358
- 1) It 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.
-
- 2) This NLM also addresses a problem of the rewind function
- not working correctly when in text mode.
-
- 03/03/92 51302
- 1) It causes DTR and RTS on the serial port to stay high
- once the Print Server comes up.
-
- 2) This file also fixes a problem that causes print job
- corruption in the form of ascii characters or form feeds.
- This corruption is known to occur on PaintJet printers,
- but may occur on others as well.
-
- 3) This file also allows the user to specify how often the
- print server services jobs. Currently, the polling time
- default is every 15 seconds. The poll time can now be
- set by a load-time parameter using the following syntax:
- : LOAD PSERVER <PRINT SERVER NAME> POLL=xx
- where xx (1 - 30) equals the number of seconds the queue
- waits before checking for jobs to be serviced. If the
- POLL parameter is not entered, the default value is used.
- If an invalid POLL value or if incorrect syntax is
- entered, the user is given the correct syntax and the
- range of correct values and the user is then prompted to
- hit any key to continue.
-

- 02/11/91 107928
- 1) This EXE shipped with NetWare 2.2 and 3.11.
-
- 07/10/91 108184
- 1) It 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.
-
- 2) This 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 EXE.
