>>TITLE: Cannot N_REDIRECT to Intel Netport from Clipper or FoxPro
DOS
>>PRODUCT(S):
NetLib 2.5x for FoxPro DOS
NetLib 6.5x for Clipper
>>PLATFORM(S):
Microsoft Networking
>>SUMMARY:
N_REDIRECT returns False when attempting to redirect to a printer
attached to an Intel NetPort Express Print Server, even though
Windows applications can print to it.
>>MORE INFORMATION:
>>RESOLUTION/FIX:
You must mark the printer as "Shareable" on the server or
workstation that manages the queue for the NetPort Print Server.
Assign it a meaningful Share name. Then issue:
N_REDIRECT("LPT1", "\\server\sharename", 3)
Where machine is the name of the managing server or workstation,
and sharename is the Share name you assigned to it.
>>EXAMPLE:
Your NetPort Express is managed on an NT Server machine name
"\\NT1". You assiged the Share Name "NPE" to the NetPort Queue.
N_REDIRECT("LPT1","") && break redirection first result = N_REDIRECT("LPT1","\\NT1\NPE",3)
