7325.0. "LAT shared printer problem" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Pier Giorgio Alessio) Fri Feb 07 1997 13:01

                Hello,
a customer has a problem printing from Windows 3.1 applications to a shared
parallel printer via LAT:

                He has a server Pathworks for Digital UNIX 6.0
                                client  Pathworks for DOS and Windows 6.0
                                          MS DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1

running on a Penthium 75 Mhz, 8 megbytes RAM and a network card 3Com 590B; the
printer is a Brother HL 1260 laser with the driver version 1.0.

When he prints a MS Word document for example, the job stays into the queue on
the PW server until a sethost or VT320 connection via LAT is done from the
client PC to the server, and then it's correctely printed.

The LAT.EXE is the PW 6.0 one at the version 6.0.001; can i have an help to
solve this problem?

                             Many thanks
                                                        Pier Giorgio Alessio

Please try this:

LATCP DEF LPT1 ADVERTISE ON

and reboot.

If the printer's on COM1, or LPT2, type them instead.
