Hi Tom:

I haven't been on here for several weeks, and noticed no replies to your question. We recently upgraded our servers to NW-4.11 and had some problems, too. The problem, I think is you need to include the server. Some code pasted right from our app is:
lc_prtr = '\\spooler\s=' + m.gc_hmsrvr + '\q=' + m.lc_queue && note: no embedded spaces...
SET PRINTER TO &lc_Prtr.
The gc_hmsrvr is the home server name (netware name) - ie: AFG_HM11
the lc_queue is the print queue name (from netware) - ie: NP21_North
Just be sure to use the same syntax as they are defined in the Netware Administrator utility you are using... Also, be sure to have no embedded spaces, or the command thinks its done (incomplete) too soon...

HTH.
