Netware printing

[repairer]

Does anyone know where I might get a document giving "step by step" details of setting a printer up in Netware?

I have a customer who has a DOS application running on a Netware 4.11 server with five workstations attached, the DOS application runs on the workstations using Win 98, I am trying to set up a number of printers running off the back of the workstations, allowing other users on the network to print to them from the DOS app, I have had help from a number of people but I am still struggling to make this work, can anyone help me, it would be much appreciated.

Are you using nprinter to share the printers?
Did you remember to do a capture on each workstation?
Don't forget to make nptwin95 start at startup, either through a "runservice" in the registry or by putting a link in the startup folder.

Thanks for this info, I was using the nptwin95 and getting error messages, after I made this posting I read one other posting re problems on Win 98 using nptwin95, it detailed the same message I was getting "LPT1 not available" I thought it was something I was doing wrong, I didn't know it was a known problem, the posting said the registry need editing so I am going to try it.
Unsure where nprinter comes in, when I tried to run this file it comes up with a message something like "cannot run in Windows protected mode"


Thanks for your help anyway, hopefully this may fix my problem.


Thanks
