Windows Printing Issues
Problem 1: When printing from some software applications such as
Power Point, it takes a long time and the print-out is
incorrect.
Solution 1: The problem is due to the printer being configured to
Start printing after the first page is spooled. To change
this setting:
1. Go to Control Panel, Printers and click on your
printer.
2. Select File, Properties, Details.
3. When the Details screen appears, click the Spool
Settings button.
4. When the Spool Settings Dialogue field appears, choose
Start printing after last page is spooled and click OK.
Problem 2: While adding my printer as instructed in Windows 95 or
98, I received a message stating that Printer could not be
found.
Solution 2: Some printer drivers, when configured as Local Printer,
will poll the printer to see if it is connected. Since the
printer is networked, the printer can not be detected. To
fix this, do the following:
1. Select Network Printer when asked How is the print-
er attached to your computer?
2. Then when prompted for Network Path or Queue
name enter a dummy value such as \\SCnum\P1 or
P2 or P3 for LPT2 or LPT3 respectively, and select
Next
3. The printer wizard will display a message stating the
Network Printer is off-line. Continue to install the
printer as normal.
4. When finished, go to Control Panel, Printers and
select your printer. The printer icon will be grayed out
indicating the printer is not ready.
5. Select Properties, Details. In the Print to the follow-
ing port box, select PrintServer.
6. Click Apply, then OK, then close the properties win-
dow.
7. Select the printer and go to the File menu. Check the

Problem 12: How do I service additional NetWare bindery file
servers?

PrintServer in the print server list.

Server To Be Serviced.
7. Insert the file server names of the other file servers to
be serviced by your PrintServer.

Problem 13: How do I attach to more than one NetWare Print Server?
Solution 13: In NetWare Remote Printer mode, if you want each port
of the PrintServer to attach to a different NetWare Print
Server, perform the following steps.
1. Use PCONSOLE to create and assign the required
printers and queues as detailed in the Remote Printer
Mode section.
