Running Pegasus 3.0 under Novell 3.12, with Client 3.02 under Windows 95. The printer is a peer networked HP IIID and this works fine when WORD files are printed, and works fine when the test page is printed. In Pegasus on the other hand, I just get the red stop sign and a message that there is something wrong with the printer setup. Can anyone help? -- David Longley Longley Consulting London, UK Behaviour Assessment & Profiling Technology, Research, Data Analysis and Training Services, Small IT Systems http://www.longley.demon.co.uk

From the following I now understand why my clients can't print e-
mail. The network printers is set up as \\art main\hp-5th etc -
ie with a space. Problem is, that's the name of the computer -
and it works fine in other applications. Do later versions of
winpmail fix this?

You'll find a handful of programs don't like printing
to shared printers. The work-around is:
1. Share the printer as you normally do.
2. Go to the remote computer you want to print from
and setup the driver to print to the shared printer.
3. Now the trick - tell the printer driver on the remote
computer to capture a printer port - like LPT2.
4. Setup another printer driver on the remote computer
and instead of printing to the shared printer, send it
to the printer port you captured (LPT2).
5. Tell your programs to print to the second printer driver
and you should be fine.
If this is too much trouble, you might consider getting
a print server box and connect the shared printer directly
to the network.

With Pegasus 3.11(32-bit), on a Novell 4.x network with Novell Client32 drivers, and a network print queue pointed to lpt1, I am also getting the error message -- any help with this would be appreciated...

Maybe this is too simple to be the solution. I have had similar problems and created a second printer to print to using a generic printer driver. obliviously you cannot print graphics but it was good enough for this user.
