DOCUMENT:Q147936 07-SEP-2001 [winnt] TITLE :Incorrect Output Printing Through Captured LPT Port to FPNW PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:3.51 4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbprint kbPrinting ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0 - Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare version 3.51 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When a NetWare client prints to an LPT port that is captured to a File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) server, the output is incorrect. For example, control codes (postscript codes) are also printed instead of it being processed by the printer. CAUSE ===== The NetWare client sends the job to the FPNW server as a Text print job. FPNW prints it as though it is plain text. RESOLUTION ========== To correct this problem, add the /No Tabs (or /NT) switch to the end of the Capture line. Sample usage: CAPTURE QUEUE=fpnwqueue NOTABS Abbreviated: CAPTURE Q=fpnwqueue NT If your NetWare client runs in Windows, clear the Enable Tabs check box in the LPT settings of NetWare User Tools. The NetWare client then sends the data to the FPNW server as a byte stream print job.
