Windows XP & Novell 3.12 with Print Queues & Dos Program
temp
I have 2 problems both involving Windows XP workstations working
incorrectly with Dos programs running on Novell Servers.
First.
I have a Dos program running perfectly for years with windows 95 & 98
Workstation. The program is on a Novell 3.12 Server with printers assigned
print queues.
The problem now is that new computers with Windows XP running the program do
not work with the print queues. If you select a print queue from within the
program it will print but if you select another print queue for another
report it uses the first queue selected to print the report or it might
print to any printer on the network.
Novell Client V4.83 SP2 is installed on the Windows XP computer to link to
the Novell server.
Second.
I also have another problem with linking a Windows XP workstation to a
Novell 4.12 Server running a different dos program. The other dos program
also ran perfectly using windows 95 & 98 workstations. The problem this time
is printing to local printers takes 10 to 15 seconds and I am getting
database locking problems where none existed before.
Is there something that can be done to get dos programs, running on Novell
Servers, to work with Windows XP. All new computers running Windows XP are
using Novell Client V4.83SP2 to link to the Novell Servers.
Are Microsoft trying to get rid of Novell Servers by making their new
operating systems incompatable with Novell?.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Thomas.
