Please Help
Im running a couple of Win98SE Pc's on a network ,
together with a Novell Netware 3.12 Print server. On the
print server there is 3 printers connected , shared to all
workstations.
I'm trying to install a Lexmark 1020 printer on one of the
Win98SE pc's onto a local port. If i do not log onto the
network , the printer functions normally. If i do connect
on to the network , the network printers are routed
towards LPT1 LPT2 LPT3 , and that is where the conflicts
starts , as my local printer is connected onto LPT1 on my
local Pc. Is there a way to rename the local LPT1 to say
LPT4 ??? Or anny other way to install the printer ???
I only need to print from windows based programs to the
New local printer. I also use DOS based programs on my
Novell Server , but they only need to print to the network
printers . Anny Ideas ??? Thank you !!!
