We're running a arcnet Novell Netsever/286 V2.0 with 10 workstations. On the server we've installed MSWord and a PC version of XROFF for word processing. Question: How can we print MSWord and Postscript files to our Hewlett-Packard laser + thats config'ed as a parallel printer=0 on the netserver? I've been using -" nprint file.name printer=0 nt "(nt=notabs) but most of the output is trashed. All/any help would be greatly appreciated, we also have a DEC-LN03 (serial) that can be config'ed to the netserver but haven't tested yet. Please mail or call all responses to: mailrus!shadooby!oxtrap!metapyr!brent -or- Brent Robertson (313)663-6027 brent@metapyr.UUCP Meta Systems Ltd., Suite 200 315 E. Eisenhower Pky.

You should be able to print directly from MS WORD, using the capture
command as provided with Novell. Capture re-directs output from the
workstation's parallel port to the server, allowing you to have up to 3
printers captured.
As for postscript, without additional hardware or a Postscript printer,
you will not be able to send postscript files to the HP Laser and ahve them
print (other than outputting Postscript language text).
Hope it helps. Any more? 612-448-6433.

Generally speaking the problem you are having is most likely in
one of two places.
1) The most likely place is in you print job configuration. You will
want to have the print job set up as follows:
You want Bytw Stream set on.
set autoendcap to no
Set the device to hp_laserjet series 2+
Set the mode to (re-initialize)
Set the timeout to about 5 Second.
2) The other place the problem could be is in Word, check to make sure
that Word knows it's talking to a Hp laserjet.
Note, the above is for printing MS Word Documents to a HP
laserjet +. The Laserjet is not a Postscript printer, so printing
postscript files to it is going to be a tad more dificult. I've heard
of a cartrige that makes the Laserjet Postscript compatable, but if I
remember correctly it was rather expensive.
