Need some help.
Old dos application, that prints to a netware print queue.
The printing is redirected to local printer or the print queue from
within the dos application.
Works fine from dos and Win9x.
Windows 2000 and Xp cause the printing to be sent to the print queue
before the form is complete. This is dependent on the lpt_timeout
setting in
WOW.
The application need the data to spool until the operator is
completed
with an order.
If I leave lpt_timeout at 15, the job may be sent before the order is
complete.
If I set it really high ie 9999 the the program is fine but the
printout doesn't hit the printer until the timeout is complete.
Is there a way to bypass the print processor and windows spooler.
I have tried all the print processor settings, local printer settings
etc.
Need to keep this application running while providing 2000/XP
workstations.
TIA
Bob
