[comp.windows.ms] Win 3.0 & Novell print server

patel@mwunix.mitre.org (Anup C. Patel) (06/11/91)

We have a problem that I hope someone can help with.  Whenever we print to a
Novell networked printer, the print server running Windows 3.0 and Novell's
rprinter software freezes.  The print server is an IBM XT/286.

This is a reproducable problem.  Further, when we try the same thing on a 33 
MHz Compaq (in real, standard, as well as enhanced modes), everything works 
fine.  The Compaq printer server works flawlessly.  Any workstation on the
Novell network can print to it (assuming it has privileges).

The printer server software (rprinter) gets loaded before executing Windows
as a TSR program.  The print server has a Western Digital board, and a laser
printer hanging off Com2:.  Other than that, there are no unusual TSR's
or boards installed.

If anyone has had similar problems, we would appreciate hearing from you.  We
are stumped!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.
