Re: NNetcap and windows XP

what i did too have a netware server and a windows server
i put all my printers on a windows machine
does not have too be a server
and net use lpt# \\machine\sharedPrinter

i did not use any of netwares print utilities...
eventually i got rid of my netware server
for load balancing....its nice too put ur printers on one machine, users on
server, data on another machine
somthing like that....
than you can create your own nncap in the code
either set ports by machine...or in your code
and have nncap just send the port too use
or use swpruncmd too set a net use...
EXAMPLE BELOW
FUNCTION NNETCAP(cLpt,lappend)
if lappend==NIL
lappend:=.f.
endif

swpruncmd("NET USE "+(clpt)+" /DELETE >NULL") // THE NULL makes it not
echo on the screen while swapping
SWPRUNCMD("NET USE "+(cLpt)+" \\sharedmachine\sharedprinter >NULL")

SET(_SET_PRINTFILE,clpt,lappend)
set(_SET_PRINTER,.T.)
SET(_SET_CONSOLE,.f.)
SET(_SET_DEVICE,"PRINTER") //@ say's still echo too monitor
return .t.

SET(_SET_PRINTFILE,"") //CLOSES current lpt port make your own nnetendcap
too or add parameters
too the nNetCap(lptport,lappend) and put the approiate code in the above
function
