This problem occurs when in text mode. 2) This VAP also addresses a problem of tabs not working properly. 3) This VAP contains the auto load feature which allows an unattended load of the pserver.vap. This auto-load feature will ONLY be available on a NetWare 2.2 File Server. AUTO-LOAD NOTES: When running this new pserver.vap on a NW 2.2 server the VAP will prompt you for the Print Server name the first time the VAP is loaded. From that point on the pserver.vap will remember the Print Server Name until the name is cleared. To CLEAR a Print Server Name the user will simply type: PSERVER CLEARNAME at the console prompt on the NW 2.2 File Server. This will cause the pserver.vap to prompt the user for a Print Server Name on the next load of the pserver.vap. 06/15/92 65218 1) Version 122.r rev'd to 1.26 and passed testing.

PSERVER.NLM NetWare v3.11 02/11/91 51208 1) This NLM shipped with NetWare 3.11. 07/10/91 50358 1) It fixes a bug that when printing large graphics documents with serial and parallel printers. This problem is created by a special condition which causes the pointer to override the print buffer. As a result, garbage characters are printed in the middle of a document. Once the block of bad data is printed, the printer resumes printing the document as it should. 2) This NLM also addresses a problem of the rewind function not working correctly when in text mode. 03/03/92 51302 1) It causes DTR and RTS on the serial port to stay high once the Print Server comes up. 2) This file also fixes a problem that causes print job corruption in the form of ascii characters or form feeds. This corruption is known to occur on PaintJet printers, but may occur on others as well. 3) This file also allows the user to specify how often the print server services jobs. Currently, the polling time default is every 15 seconds. The poll time can now be set by a load-time parameter using the following syntax: : LOAD PSERVER POLL=xx where xx (1 - 30) equals the number of seconds the queue waits before checking for jobs to be serviced. If the POLL parameter is not entered, the default value is used. If an invalid POLL value or if incorrect syntax is entered, the user is given the correct syntax and the range of correct values and the user is then prompted to hit any key to continue. 08/12/92 51866 1) Version 1.22r rev'd to 1.27 and passed testing.
