WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer was trying to print on a Novell network that has two servers: one server using NetWare 2.2 and the other server using NetWare 3.11. A workstation should be able to print to either server without a problem. (The proper setup is Shift-F7, S, E, 2, 8, servername/queuename, Network Printer?-Y, Suppress Top of Form?-N.) The customer continually received the message "Network Not Accepting Characters" or "Network Not Accepting Job." Solutions: The information given by Novell's WHOAMI command indicated that the customer had not logged into the server that was listed in the print setup. Because of this, WordPerfect could not recognize the servername and returned the error message. The customer could NPRINT (e.g., NPRINT ) because Novell automatically sends the job under the guest login. The customer simply logged on to the other server and the print jobs printed correctly without any error.

Another option is to specify both the servername and queuename under the port setting. For example:
      Port: / (e.g., STAT/1_East_E)
