It's been a while since I used Netware, but this used to be the drill: You
simply print to LPT1. But first you redirect LPT1 to a Netware print queue
with the Capture.exe:
capture /q=AccountsLaser
Will redirect future print to the printer(s) attached to the spool queue
AccountsLaser
. Your Netware bods can tell you what queues exist. To get
back to the locally attached printers:
Endcap
(And yes, I do remember writing standard Epson escape codes to make printers
do things. I'm glad I don't today).
