Using NetWare Connectivity
Working with NetWare Connectivity
Typing the NetWare command capture displays:
Device LPT1: re-routed to queue QUEUE_1 on server NWSERVER
Now that you see that the LPT1 and LPT2 devicenames on your workstation
are already being used, you should assign LPT3 to the new printer queue.
NOTE: Be cautious before you assign LPT1 to a Windows NT or LAN Manager printer
queue. On most NetWare networks, when you log on to a NetWare server, the LPT1
devicename is automatically assigned to a NetWare printer queue. If you assign
LPT1 to a Windows NT or LAN Manager printer queue, you will be unable to access
the NetWare printer queue.
If you have assigned a devicename to both a Windows NT or LAN Manager
printer queue and a NetWare printer queue, cancel the connection to one of
the printer queues, and then connect to that printer queue using another
devicename. For example, if you find that LPT1 is assigned to a
LAN Manager printer queue (the LASER printer queue on the SALES
server) and to a NetWare printer queue, cancel the connection to the
LAN Manager printer queue by typing:
net use lpt1 /d
You can then reconnect to that printer queue using a different devicename,
such as LPT2:
net use lpt2 \\sales\laser
Using NetWare, Windows NT Advanced Server, and LAN Manager Com-
mands
With NetWare Connectivity, when both NetWare and LAN Manager are
running, you can easily use LAN Manager commands and NetWare
commands. When you type a LAN Manager command, a Windows NT
computer or LAN Manager server processes it; when you type a NetWare
command, NetWare processes it.
The following table shows equivalent commands in NetWare and
LAN Manager. If you are an experienced NetWare user new to
LAN Manager (or vice versa), use this table to find the correct commands.
You can also see this table onscreen by typing
net help netware at a
computer that has LAN Manager and NetWare Connectivity.
