>>>I do not seem to be able to select a Netware 4.10 print queue from my program with the methods from the documentation/help files. I may be doing something wrong, but I would be grateful if anyone had any code example of a way that I can accomplish this seemingly trivial feat. I am hoping to avoid a work-around requiring a capture command.

You *have* to capture the printer queue to print in Novell from DOS.

This is the way to do it programmatically, but it can also be done in the 'autoexec.bat' file (or any batch file for that matter - which is the way we do it) if you plan on printing to the same printer over and over.

PS - There is a handy utility called CloseSp.bin which you can LOAD early in your program and CALL after you print to 'flush' the Novell print queue. This speeds up the printing process quite a bit under Netware 4.x
