[comp.windows.ms] Print spoolers for Novell & Win30

lhotka@incstar.com (05/07/91)

Can anyone recommend a good Novell network print spooler which works well
with Windows?

We currently run LANspool, but are finding that the VAP on the file server
frequently dies, forcing a reboot of the file server.  LANspool's tech
support has been friendly but has not come up with any constructive
solutions to our problem.  Obviously we can not continue to bring down 100
workstations once or twice a week...

We need a print spooler which can handle about 20 printers attached to
various workstations (and/or dedicated print server machines) throughout
the company.  People from as many as 20 machines may print to a single
shared network printer.  

Almost all of our machines run Windows 3.0, so the software must work well
with Windows on both the machine doing the printing and on the workstation
where the printer is attached.

Please respond via e-mail if possible.  I will summarize all responses and
will post them back to the net.  This seems like an issue which would
impact (and be of interest to) a lot of people - it certainly has me and my
management very concerned... :-(
