I wouldn't put the capture command in the login script, but in the
autoexec.bat.  Also, if you are running Windows, 3.x or 95, you can, or I
should say -should - set windows to automatically "capture" these ques.

Also, if these two printers are the same, use the same printer drives,etc,
you might consider setting them up to run off of one que.  This provides
load balancing between the printers and keeps one printer from recieving all
the abuse while one sits idle.

Novell has courses periodically around the country and there is probably a
local certified trainer somewhere around.  Go to a CNA (Certified Netware
Administrator) course, and get the Novell CNA study guide.  QUE also
publishes several good books on Using NetWare.  Novell also has extensive,
searchable help, on the web.

yes.  NOVELL@listserv.syr.edu.  Be prepared to recieve alot of messages, though.
