Novell LPTx-options Setting in WIN.INI [Network] Section (89960)

SUMMARY

The LPTx-options line is added to the [Network] section of the WIN.INI file when a permanent printer connection to a Novell NetWare print queue is established. The information written in the WIN.INI file is relevant to the Novell CAPTURE command and PRINTCON utility. For example:

     LPT3-options=200,1,8,0,0,LST;JohnD

MORE INFORMATION

The meaning of each value is as follows:

   Value           Definition
   ------------------------------------------------------------------

   LPTx-options=   LPTx-options, where x is the port number used
   200,            Notification of spooled print job
   1,              Number of copies for a print job
   8,              Inserts left hand tab of specified size (default 8)

                      queue)

   LST;            Banner text (cover page for each print job)

For every LPT port that is permanently attached to a print queue, there is a corresponding LPTx-options setting present in the [Network] section of the WIN.INI file. (You can modify this setting with the Networks application in Windows Control Panel.)
