We run ARev 3.1 on a NetWare 5 network using Win95. On one machine we are not able to print from ARev without ending printer port capture. The capture is configured the same as all other machines in the building. Basically, I'm printing to LPT1 and have set LPT1 to capture the network laser printer we all use. The job will spool until I end the capture, at which time the job prints. Anyone seen anything similar? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, –Tim

Tim,

We user Netware 4.x here, and have a similar issue. The way we "solved" it was to turn on auto endcap in the default capture settings.

This setting is located under the Novell client setup. Right click on Network Neighborhood and choose properties. Select the Novel Client in the list and then click properties. Select the Default Capture tab. At the bottom of the properties page, check auto endcap.

This works reliably for us.

Does your capture statement have a ti=0 if so change it to 10.

Reason: if ti=0 then it wont print until you exit your program ie.arev.

if you are using graphics increase it to 25.

however, if you are using win95 and above dont use capture use the windows port settings to direct your print jobs.

Thanks for the responses. Actually, we're using Win95 to capture the printer to the port. Auto Endcap is selected in default capture tab. It's puzzling that we can't print the job until we END the capture (of course, we can't even SEND the job w/out the capture). A head-scratcher, for sure. –Tim

Here's an idea,

In the printer definition for the port you are using, in the 'port settings' bit

is "Spool MS-DOS Jobs" ticked? If it is untick it and see what happens.

Regards

I solve this by setting Autoendcap=ON, Ti=0

Then when I want the spool to end in ARev I

CALL SETPTR("LPT1:":CHAR(0),1)

Or, issue another CAPTURE command with Ti=0
