NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
NETWORK PRINTERS=number
Sets the number of LPT ports the NetWare DOS Requester software can
capture. This parameter allows you to capture and redirect LPT1 through
LPT9.
Increasing the number value increases memory use. Setting the value for this
parameter to 0 specifies that PRINT.VLM does not load.
If you are setting more than three ports in MS Windows, edit the MS
Windows WIN.INI file with an ASCII text editor and add as many lines as
you need under the [port] section.
For example:
[port]
lp1:=
lp2:=
lp3:=
lp4:=
net1:=
record.prn=
Add a filename to a line under the [ports] option to have print files print
directly to this file. The filename should have a .PRN file extension followed
by an equal sign.
This causes the named file to appear in the Control Panel “Printer
Configuration” dialog box. Any print jobs sent to this file direct their output
to it.
