Logical Printers (Ports)
Logical Printers can be used to create a "Virtual" printer. For example, to create a Landscape
printer, you could define a Logical Printer as follows:
Another logical printer could be used to print Unix-format text files properly, by converting
Unix-style LF (Line Feeds) to DOS-style LF/CR (Line Feed, Carriage Return) pairs.
In the NetWare Print Server mode, the IOPRINT+ Print Server supports 3 logical printers for
models with 1 parallel port, and 8 logical printers for other models.
Configuring NetWare
PCONSOLE must be used to create new (logical) printers and assign print queues to the
printers. When creating logical printers, be sure to select printer numbers greater than 7 from
the Configured Printer listing. In NetWare, all printer numbers greater than 7 are logical
printers.
Remember that selecting printer 8 corresponds to Logical printer L1, selecting printer 9
corresponds to Logical printer L2, and so on up to printer 15 which corresponds to Logical
printer L8.
