Tech Bulletin: DOS 3.X Shell Auto Despool Disable NOVELL TECHNICAL BULLETIN TITLE: DOS 3.X Shell Auto Despool Disable DOCUMENT ID: TB.P.169 DATE: 1/7/87 PRODUCT: NetWare PRODUCT VERSION: SFT and Advanced NetWare Version 2.0 SUPERSEDES: NA SYMPTOM: NA ISSUE/PROBLEM With Advanced NetWare and SFT NetWare versions 2.0 and above, the DOS 3.X shell will automatically despool the printer output if the application closes the output device after printing has been completed. In some cases it is not desireable that this occur every time the output device is closed. This feature may be disabled by performing the following patch to the DOS 3.X shell (ANET3.COM). You must have already linked your workstation shell with the desired driver before beginning to use working copies of your "GENSH-1" and "GENSH-2" diskettes. Using the DOS "Debug" program, perform the following patch. (All underscored characters are entered by the operator.) DEBUG ANET3.COM -E181 XXXX:0181 00.01 -W Writing XXXX bytes -Q If you perform this patch while you are logged into the network, you must logout, reboot the workstation, and load this patched shell to make the change effective. Now that the patch is complete, printer output will not be despooled unless the "ENDSPOOL" command is typed or the "time" option is used when making the spool request. See your NetWare Command Line Utilities Manual for more information on the "time" option. The DOS 2.X shell must have the "time" flag set or receive the "ENDSPOOL" command for despooling to occur.
