7395.0. "Network printing from Win-95 client." by ADCA01::RAFI () Fri May 16 1997 07:18

Hi all,

 We have problem in connecting a network printer to a Windows-95 PC.
We are running Pathworks 5.0D server and Open VMS 6.1 on an AXP m/c.
I have created a printer share on pathworks server with the name
same as the printer que name.But I am able to connect the printer
through WFW 3.11 as a network printer.In the Windows-95 m/c which
I have specified above I can spool the printouts in the MSDOS prompt
using the command 
net use lpt1 \\adca01\hp$que.

Also in Windows-95 when I say configure network printer and give the
following path,
\\adca01\hp$que
the error message I will get is "Printer is currently offline".

An earliest response will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

Rafi,

Are you using PATHWORKS WIN/95? If so what is the version of PATHWORKS?

On the server do an admin/anal/since= and post any results.

regards,
Ed
