- LANPrint 1.0A (c) Copyright 1992, by Aleph Systems
-
- Thank you for trying LANPrint, a product of Aleph Systems. We hope
- you find LANPrint a convenient, easy way for your users to connect
- and disconnect network printers and to change their default Windows
- printer configurations.
-
- LANPrint consists of three files: LANPRINT.EXE, the executable
- program, LANPRINT.INI, the initialization file, and VBRUN100.DLL,
- the Visual Basic runtime library. We have chosen not to include
- that file with LANPrint because it would more than double the size
- of the zipfile, and it is readily available from many sources (in the
- CompuServe Microsoft Forums, for example, where it can be downloaded
- as VBRUN1.ZIP. If you need a copy of VBRUN100.DLL, please contact
- Aleph Systems at (301)270-4458, at CompuServe 71371,635 or via mail
- at 7319 Willow Avenue, Takoma Park, MD 20912.
-
- LANPrint should work with any network that works with Windows, including
- DEC PathWorks and NFS. The file VBRUN100.DLL should be placed in each
- user's Windows directory. The other two files, LANPRINT.EXE and
- LANPRINT.INI, should reside in a directory on the file server where all
- users have READ access.
-
- The file LANPRINT.INI contains the listing of available network
- printers, as well as a listing of the LPT Ports you want to allow
- users to connect to networked printers. LANPRINT.INI is an ASCII
- text file which can be edited with any text editor, including the
- Windows Notepad. Before testing LANPrint, you will need to modify
- the sample LANPRINT.INI to reflect the printers available in your network.
-
- Please be sure to read the documentation file, LANPRINT.WRI,
- included with the program, for the complete details of the
- configuration and operation of LANPrint--it's only a few pages long,
- and it will tell you all you need to know about LANPrint. The last page
- of LANPRINT.WRI is an order form. We hope you like LANPrint enough to
- license it for your file server (at $49 per file server, LANPrint is
- a truly low cost enhancement to the Windows environment, especially
- for less technical users who do not want to struggle with the network
- names of printers or the intricacies of the many Control Panel options
- for printers).
-
- We also hope you look for our other networked Windows program, N.A.I.,
- Network Application Installer for Windows. Version 1.5 of N.A.I.
- has just been released, and includes a number of significant
- enhancements, including the use of user-specific data and a new user
- interface in the same style as LANPrint.
