I'm using Novell 4.14. and WIN95
I've installed printer in my computer, we called PC A. Printer in PC A, I've setup printer as a shared printer. Now, I've setup printer in another computer, we called PC B. PC B's printer is using the shared printer (PC A). If I'am printing from windows application like Winword, Exel, etc in windows environment, it's can print. But, If I wanted to print from DOS Application(using Foxpro 2.5 under Dos), the printer can't printer and messages is "Printer is not ready". The PC B is connected to Novell.

Did you tick the box marked "Print From MS-DOS based progams?" when you installed the printer on PC A ?

If youīre using Novellīs CAPTURE
you have to connect the Printer on
Station B with the MAP-Command
i.e. MAP L1 = \\SERVER\...
If you have shered the printer with MS-Windows you have to call:
NET USE LPT1 \\PC A\PRINTER
