Sending Jobs to Network Printers Using CAPTURE and NPRINT

Using CAPTURE

A new feature was added to the J= ﬂag in CAPTURE and NPRINT that

allows you to use a print job conﬁguration anywhere in your Directory tree,

so long as you have the rights to do this.

By using this feature, you can limit your search for the speciﬁed job

conﬁguration to a speciﬁc context or to the owner of the database that

contains the conﬁguration.

Note that the examples show only the CAPTURE command. You can do the

same thing with NPRINT.

The syntax for this feature is as follows:

CAPTURE J=jobname:context

For example, to use printer P_1 to print a document using print job

conﬁguration RPT located in container object .DALLAS.SWRGN.HP, your

command would be as follows:

CAPTURE P=P_1 LPT1 J=RPT:.DALLAS.SWRGN.HP

NOTE: Placing the period in front of the container name indicates that you are specifying an

absolute context path; that is, you are showing the context all the way up to the root.

If you want to specify only a relative context path (one that does not go all the way

to the root) you should not use the period. For more information, see Introduction to

NetWare Directory Services.

You can specify any context anywhere in the tree, so long as you have rights

to the context or user you specify.

If you specify a user rather than a context, the command syntax is as

follows:

CAPTURE J=JOB1:CN=username.SALES.HP

If you do not know the job conﬁguration’s name, select the “Change Current

Object” option from the PRINTCON “Available Options” menu. From the

“Enter Object” ﬁeld, you can press <Insert> to browse the tree. At the

context you want, you can view the conﬁgurations you have rights to see.

Adding CAPTURE to Login Scripts

You can add a CAPTURE command to the container login script or to a user
