[comp.windows.ms] Novell + DOS 4.00 + Enhanced mode = Problems printing

hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au (Roger Hadgraft) (08/04/90)

Novell Netware 2.10 + Win3 in enhanced mode - junk going out to network
printers.

I have a 386 running MS-DOS 4.00, Windows 3 in enhanced mode, and Novell Netware
2.10 with version 3.01 of NET4 and IPX. When I direct output from Windows apps
to one of the network printers (I've tried both a Postscript laer printer and an
HP LJ Series II), various junk gets appended and prepended to the actual output.
A 1K file which properly translates to a 10K postscript file is appearing
as anything from 63K to 94K!

I've just switched over to Standard mode for Win3, and there appears to be no
such problem. Likewise, I have had no problem with my 286 (in standard mode).
Last week I upgraded the machine to DOS 4.00. I don't think I had any problems
with DOS 3.30, but I can't be sure.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is DOS 4.01 a solution?

We've been running Windows in enhanced on Novell testing with DOS 4.0,
DOS 4.01, and DOS 3.3.  The only difference is we're using Netware 2.15.
We've had no problems printing under Windows applications or non-Windows
applications.  We're using an HP Laserjet II.
