Hi all,
I have a problem trying to capture lpt1 to a print file when printing form a DOS application to a network print file.
I am running win xp with Novell client 4.90sp2 attaching to netware 5.1 sp7
When I run the command capture /cr={mapped drive:\<filename>} I get the error capture 4.15-453.unable to create capture file in the specified directory

A member, Jock Mullin also experienced this problem and installed a workaround by setting up a dummy generic text only printer and sharing it so the user can net use lpt1 \\wsname\textprinter, which works fine.

I would appreciate some advice on how to set up this generic text only printer

Thanks in advance

Dave
