AREV Specific

I receive an error runnning Arev 3.12 on a win98 PC. Arev is hosted on a NetWare 4.11 server and the PC is running Client 32 Version 3.1,

the The error is as follows: "This device does not exist on the network. Reading device LP1?" The PC has no local printers attached to it, only network printers.

Brad,

Have you made sure that you are capturing the LPT port in the printer definition?

Since Windows supports deviceless printing (directly to a queue) you need to do one of two things:
Set up the network printer so that it captures LPT1 in the Printer Properties dialog box.
or
Start AREV from a batch file which captures the printer:
AREV.BAT
CAPTURE L1 QUEUENAME /NB /NT /NFF /TI=30
AREV  /M4096X
ENDCAP
and point your shortcut to AREV.BAT.

I know on Novell 5 there is a red "N" in the system tray, if there is one in Novell 4.x (Providing you have client 32 loaded), Right click it and you can directly capture all LPT ports and re-direct then to network queues.
