Yes. NetWare 6.5 supports print queues. You can keep using queue-based printing
just as it was in 4.x if you like.

Most sites would like to use NDPS/iPrint however, since it provides superior
management. Both NDPS and iPrint support legacy queues. Ie they can service jobs
that you deposit in a queue if you like.

Perhaps if you told use a little bit more what you want to do, then we could help
you better.

Ok, I'll try again. A prior version of Netware had some sort of DOS application
that it used to manage queues. My IT folks no longer want to support that
Netware DOS application. I only know what they tell me, which is generally
nothing.

They want to pull the plug on the Netware DOS application that makes queues
available. If they do that an application I developed breaks. They are
offering no help at all in resolving the issue other than saying there are
Novell support newsgroups....

My belief is that Novell wouldn't totally quit support of queues and there must
be something in Netware 6.5 that provides the same functionality. That's what
I'm trying to track down... Can you help?!
