Hi Al!
>One approach would be to CAPTURE a local DOS LPT: port to the appropriate Novell print queue. You should then be able to COPY FILE < filename > TO LPTx to get it to print. With Novell queues you can set an appropriate AutoEndCap to despool the job.
Actually I don't think I can do that because the NDPS printers don't show up to be captured. I've been capturing the queue up to this point, which has work well. The problem is we now have 2 large format printers and GETPRINTER( ) can only capture the NDPS device. I try:
COPY FILE "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT" TO '\\MONTANA\N-SV-HPDJ800PS.MISSOULACOUNTY'
COPY FILE "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT" TO \\MONTANA\N-SV-HPDJ800PS.MISSOULACOUNTY
COPY FILE "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT" TO GETPRINTER( )
and I get an error stating "cannot create file."
