NPRINTER.NLM/PSERVER.NLM problem
#557
Author: Robert Alpert

I'm working on a small Netware 4.1 network with a single
server.  There are two printers connected to the server.

In AUTOEXEC.NCF I have lines such as:

  LOAD PSERVER PS-PRINT
  LOAD NPRINTER PS-PRINT 0
  LOAD NPRINTER PS-PRINT 1

This does not work.  After server bootup, at the console prompt one can
see error messages from both invocations of NPRINTER that PS-PRINT is
unavailable.  The NPRINTER commands may then be entered successfully at
the console. 

I take it that NPRINTER is loading before PSERVER is ready.  Is there any
way to delay the execution of NPRINTER?  A "DELAY.NLM" or something
similar?  I cannot find anything in the Netware online docs. 

Thanks in advance for any info...

If you use the 'Load automatically' option in PCONSOLE, then you needn't
load nprinter.nlm yourself on the server, because pserver will do so
for you.  Perhaps this is already the case, and are you trying to reload
nprinter for printers already in use.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.  I saw that option but it just didn't click 
that using it would fix this problem.
