CAPTURE


Purpose

CAPTURE is a command line utility that allows you to print from applications not designed for NetWare® print services. It sets up redirection parameters for printing output from your workstation; the NetWare DOS RequesterTM software then redirects the workstation output from an LPT port to the specified network printer or file.

NOTE:  This utility is for use with Novell's legacy, queue-based print services. Novell® Distributed Print Services® (NDPS®) is the default and preferred print system in NetWare 6. Queue-based printing is fully supported in NetWare 6, which allows your users to continue printing as they always have until you complete the transition to NDPS®.

For a discussion of NDPS support for legacy printing, see Supporting Queue-Based Client Workstations. For information on migrating to NDPS, see Planning the Migration to Novell Distributed Print Services.
