Specifying Capture Settings with Windows Printing
Windows does not require captured printer ports to print to a network printer.
Windows can use print devices that are associated with network printers. This
allows applications to print directly to a network printer.
 The CAPTURE utility does not affect Windows printer devices.
 Captures are global. If you capture a printer port, the port is available for
network printing from anywhere in Windows.
Use the Capture Settings dialog box to specify printer settings for print
captures created with Windows. This can be useful if you want to use a DOS
or Windows 3.x application that relies on print captures and you can’t put the
capture in a login script.
To access the Capture Setting dialog box, complete the following steps:
1 Right-click the N icon in the system tray.
2 Click Novell Capture Printer Port.
