Incorrect Output Printing Through Captured LPT Port to FPNW (147936)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare 3.51
This article was previously published under Q147936 SYMPTOMS
When a NetWare client prints to an LPT port that is captured to a File and
Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) server, the output is incorrect. For
example, control codes (postscript codes) are also printed instead of it
being processed by the printer.
CAUSE
The NetWare client sends the job to the FPNW server as a Text print job.
FPNW prints it as though it is plain text.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, add the /No Tabs (or /NT) switch to the end of the
Capture line.
Sample usage: CAPTURE QUEUE=fpnwqueue NOTABS
Abbreviated: CAPTURE Q=fpnwqueue NT
If your NetWare client runs in Windows, clear the Enable Tabs
check box in the LPT settings of NetWare User Tools. The NetWare client
then sends the data to the FPNW server as a byte stream print job.
