Setting Up Client Workstation Printing
Using NetWare Utilities to Set Up Network Printing
The CAPTURE Utility
Use CAPTURE to
• Set up connection to print queues
• Control network printing
• View information about network printing
• Redirect a printer port to the network
Using CAPTURE at the Command Line
Use CAPTURE at the command line to set up printing by completing the
following procedure.
Procedure
1 Type the following command at a DOS prompt:
CAPTURE [option] <Enter>
See Chapter 3, “Command Line Parameters Reference,” in NetWare Client for
DOS and MS Windows Technical Reference for a listing of available options and
descriptions.
2 (Conditional) If you are running applications that print to a port, such as LPT1,
set up the correct print driver within each application for the printer you are
sending jobs to.
See the manufacturer’s documentation for information about print drivers.
Once you have captured a port to a network printer or print queue, all printing
from the screen or applications to LPT1 will be redirected to the designated
server and queue.
NOTE: You can’t use CAPTURE with COM ports (you can use it only with LPT ports).
However, the DOS MODE command allows you to redirect COM ports to LPT ports.
For more information, see your DOS manual or the documentation that came with
your printer.
Example
An example of a common command line statement for the CAPTURE utility
is as follows:
CAPTURE /Q=LASERJET4 /S=SALES /P=P1 /TI=5
