Printing from Nondedicated File Servers
It has been found that version 2.01 of Lotus 1-2-3 (and subsequent
releases) will not print from a nondedicated file server to a network printer.
(This is true for all versions of nondedicated Netware.)
Prior to a printing operation, Lotus will check the equipment list to see
that a printer is available. Because the printer port has been defined as a
network printer, the equipment list is cleared. A SPOOL command must be
issued before any applications can print. Any applications, such as BASIC,
that check for the presence of the printer will see that none are available
according to the equipment list and will not allow printing to occur.
By running "PRFIX.COM" prior to entering the application, the equipment
list will be modified to show that a printer is available and allow the
application to print. Remember that a SPOOL command must be entered before
the PRFIX command is entered.
The program PRFIX.COM is available from Netwire or LANSWER.
