PLEASE, HELP ME!!!
I've got a problem driving me crazy.
Let's take the configuration first.
We have got a Novell /386 3.10 (80486) and 2.12 (80386) LAN.
Running DOS 3.30 and 4.01 on workstations.
Token Ring and Ethernet.
Windows 3.0.
IBM 386SX's.
HPLaserjet II.
QMS 815 PS.
Now, to the problem.
If, running the Net-installed Win3
from my DOS 4.01 machine, Ethernet, I print out something from any Windows-appl.
(Write, Word, Excel etc.) it works just fine.
But, if I move myself to another machine, DOS 3.30 and Token Ring,
doing the same things,
I get about 50k (various) of garbage, before and after my real textprint.
Seems to be the same on both printertypes.
I've tried different versions of net3, ipx, with and without DXM*.*
and so on.
The only thing not tested yet, and I dont think thats the problem, is
changing to DOS 4.01 on the printer-servers.
It will be done however.
In the meantime, anybody got any solutions to this?
I've been working on this for a long time now, and I desperatly need help.
Looks to me that it is Token Ring causing the trouble, but I could be wrong.
So, is the problem Token Ring, TR-drivers, DOS-version, printers,
printer-drivers, Windows, Windows-drivers, mouse-drivers, HIMEM.SYS, or what?
I would be really greatfull.
