Ports ???
Could Anyone Please Help.
I just tried installing a printer (Lexmark1020) on a Win98SE PC. Problem is that the PC is also connected to a Novell Netware 3.12 network. The Netware server has 3 printers attached to it, on Lpt1 Lpt2 and Lpt3. As soon as I log onto the network from a local PC, the network printers is routed towards Lpt1 Lpt2 and Lpt3 on the local PC. Problem then starts as the newly installed printer on the local PC is installed on Lpt1 as well. If I do not log onto the network, the printer functions fine no problems at all. As soon as I’m logged onto the network and I try to print from windows to the local (new) printer I get a network error. If I print from Dos based programs (as found on the Netware server) all prints fine onto the network printers. I only need to print from Windows based applications onto the new local printer, and I do not need to share it across the network. All my Dos based programs only needs to print o the network printers, and they do not need access to the new local printer. Is there a way to rename my local printer port to Lpt 4? Will it work? Else is there a way to set Windows based programs not to "see" network printers, and Dos programs not to "see" local printers? Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated! Thank you all! |
