SAMBA digest 2110

[Stephen L Arnold]

On 30 May 99,,  samba at samba.org had questions about SAMBA digest 2110:

If it's really a DOS app, then it can only see windoze printers if 
they have "captured" a port (ie, lpt1, lpt2, etc).  It's up to the 
application to let you set up the printer port(s), ie, how many 
parallel ports it knows about.  You may also need to set some DOS 
environment variables and/or play with the windoze DOS box settings.

Our old server dude was a wiz at getting DOS/windoze apps to work 
on mounted Netware drives, but that's about all I know.

Hope this helps, Steve
