Sending Jobs to Network Printers Using CAPTURE and NPRINT
Using CAPTURE
Saving Data to a NetWare Server You are Not Attached To
If you specify a NetWare server you are not attached to in your CAPTURE
command, CAPTURE attaches you as user GUEST unless GUEST requires
a password. In this case, you are prompted to enter both a username and a
password before you continue with the capture.
Printing to a Different Directory Services Context
If you want to print to a printer or print queue in a NetWare Directory
Services™ context different from your current context, you can accomplish
this in one of the following ways:
• If the printer or print queue you want to use is in a different context from your
current context in the Directory tree, you can specify the location of the printer in
your CAPTURE or NPRINT command.
Note that the example shows the CAPTURE command. You can do the same
thing with NPRINT.
For example:
CAPTURE P=.P_1.DALLAS.SWRGN.HP
(The period at the beginning indicates that the entire context is being specified.)
To view all container objects in the tree below your current context, type
CX /T
• Change your context to the one containing the printer or print queue object you
want to access. You can use CX to change to the correct context.
To view the names of all printers or print queues in and below the current
context, type whichever one of the following commands is applicable:
NLIST PRINTER /N /S
NLIST QUEUE /N /S
Printing with Print Job Configurations in a Different Context
Occasionally, you may want to send print jobs using a print job
configuration in another context.
In releases prior to NetWare Services, searches for print job configurations
were limited to your current context and the context immediately above it in
the Directory tree.
