NPRINT
Using NPRINT
• All options function with a slash (/), but only “Help” requires it (/?).
• You can specify the printer name instead of a print queue.
• Default options include Banner (B=banner name), No Tabs (NT), and Form Feed
(FF).
• Specifying a default print job configuration in PRINTCON allows you to specify
only the filename with NPRINT. You can override the default options by
specifying options at the command line.
• NPRINT can be typed without specifying a printer or print queue if a default print
queue is specified at the NetWare server.
• NPRINT is not needed if you use a NetWare-aware application that can send print
jobs to specified printers or print queues.
• If you use an application that doesn’t format print jobs for your printer, NetWare
supplies 58 printer definitions for print devices.
Import one of these or create your own using NetWare Administrator or
PRINTDEF. Each printer definition contain print device functions and modes for
the printer.
Printer definitions for print devices can only be referenced in print job
configurations.
To print a non-ASCII file that isn’t formatted for the printer, NPRINT must use
the “J=name” option to specify the print job configuration that specifies the
printer definition.
• If you specify a print job configuration that has a complex printer mode, you can
increase the bytes (default 64, range 0 to 255) in the “printer
header=number”option. See“NET.CFG Options Reference” in NetWare Client
