- The NWREQ$ driver fault is probably what you're talking about. The only
- way to get around this is to create a private session, load NETX, login,
- and then with the compatibility offered in a private session - this will
- not happen. The following code fragment exemplifies this:
-
- - SET CAPTURE QUEUE -
-
-
- mov ah, 0B8h
- mov al, 06h
- mov dh, 0h ; (LPT DEVICE, 0 for LPT1, 1 for LPT2, etc)
- mov bx, [ds:queidhigh] ; first word of double word
- mov cx, [ds:queidlow] ; second word of double word
- int 21h
-
- mov ah, 4Ch
- int 21h
-
- By assembling the code fragment above, and substituting a valid netware
- queue ID (this can be found in PCONSOLE) for BX and CX, you can set the
- queue to any printer on the network. The queue ID is a high-low
- (low-endian?) thingy... (by assembling...and executing) the code you can
- be guaranteed an OS/2 TRAP if used in global mode, but if used in a
- private mode - it will actually work.
-
- Hope this technical diatribe helps.
