Hello

Getting a printing error in Lotus NOtes 4.6.3 when trying to print, error is 'error printing' ( handy huh!). It's the same for any printer. the printers are on a Novell server.
I can print OK from any other application. have tried latest LJ 5m driver, pcl5e and 6. no change.

would prefer to install printer with TCP/IP direct using an LPR port, is this possible under 95 like it is under NT?

thanks

Rob If in doubt get the Ball Pein Hammer out
 
To print IP direct from Win95 - you'll need the JetAdmin utility (3.4 is the version I use) which will enable you to set the IP address on the printer if it isn't already set, and the same CD will let you install an IP-direct printer on the workstation. The IP direct part is built into Win2K, but the HP CD will enable you to do it from Win95. Fred Wagner
