Printer settings could not be saved on port setup of printer
I am trying to create two printers on my Windows XP PC that use the same
port (a Netware 5.1 print queue) but use different drivers for the printer. When I attempt to specify the port, I get "Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed." I tried to create a local printer with the second print driver I want to use for only some applications and then change the port, but I get this error. How can I accomplish this so I can print to the same network printer but with different print drivers? -- DJH |

Create two local printers on the client using a Local Port in the form
\\remotemachine\printshare I think this will work when the remote machine is Netware and you have the Netware client installed. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

When I try to do the first one, I get the message Port \\RIMS\WAM4050 already
exists. (RIMS is the Novell server and WAM4050 is the print queue). -- DJH "Alan Morris [MSFT]" wrote: Create two local printers on the client using a Local Port in the form \\remotemachine\printshare I think this will work when the remote machine is Netware and you have the Netware client installed. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Ah yes, the netware provider creates a local port
net use LPT2: \\RIMS\WAM4050 /PERSISTENT:YES then change to LPT2 net use lpt2: /d will delete the mapped device. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
