No print job notification on Novell due to capture settings not available.
Cause:
Windows 95 does not provide the capture settings for print notification for Novell NetWare. Only Banner Page, Form Feed, Expand Tabs, Form, and Timeout are provided.
Solution:
Upgrade to Novell's NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95, which enables network printer messages to be displayed to the Windows 95 client. As a workaround, use the NetWare CAPTURE command to enable print job notification on a NetWare print queue. Activate WinPopup to display the notification message.
NOTE: Administrative rights are required to solve the problem. Please contact your administrator or next-level support to perform these steps.
1) Add the following command to the user or system login script:
capture L=<x> /server=<y> /queue=<z> /notify
(where <x> is the LPT port, <y> is the NetWare server name, and <z> is the NetWare print queue name).
2) Configure WinPopup to appear on the Taskbar:
a) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
b) Select 'Programs' and select 'StartUp'.
c) Select 'WinPopup'. (The 'WinPopup' dialog box appears.)
d) Select the 'Messages' menu and select 'Options...'. (The 'Options' dialog box appears.)
e) Select the 'Always on top' check box to display 'WinPopup' on the Taskbar.
f) Click 'OK'.
