2135.0. "Printing to Lantronics print server" by GRITS::CARTER_A () Thu Apr 17 1997 20:45

    Hi,
    
    I have a customer who is attempting to print to a Lnatronics
    PrintServer with Team Links 2.7.  At first she was getting a message
    that teamlinks has deteceted that the default printer is configured
    incorrectly so we added the following information to 
    Office.ini
    
    [Printing]
    CheckDefaultPrinter=0
    
    Now when she attempts to print it seems as the message is going to
    print but nothing happens.  Can you offer any suggestions?
    
    NOTE:  All other apps print fine.
    
    Thank you,

Is there anything in CFCDEBUG.LOG?

Can other people print to this printer with TeamLinks?

Possible to try a different printer?

What operating system?

Will notepad print?
2135.2More information comingGRITS::CARTER_AMon Apr 21 1997 15:0714
    Hi,
    
    The customer is using WIN95 and they have several people trying to
    print from Team links.  
    
    Please note that they can print via DECnet using Pathworks.  They
    cannot print via TCPIP with the steps that Lantronics provided via IP
    but all other apps print fine.  She is sending me the CFCDEbug and the 
    information from Lantronics on setting up the IP print queue and will
    post it asap.
    
    Thanks,

    This is basically what the CFCDEBUG log looks like:

A fairly simple Windows API call failed that works for
other printers, other platforms. I would either suspect
the driver or some sort of hardware or network problem
that is keeping the driver from communicating with the
printer.

2135.5The driver works through Team LinksGRITS::CARTER_AMon Apr 21 1997 19:1812
    Hi,
    
    What is confusing to me Jerry is why is the driver working for all
    other apps on all PC's and this driver works if they use DECnet instead
    of setting up through IP.  The only reason they cannot use the
    Pathworks DECnet solution is that there is bug in Pathworks that does
    not keep the print queue set on a reboot THUS users continue to have to 
    reset up the print.
    
    Thanks,

Confusing to me too. Besides getting the driver developers invovled, the
only thing I can think of doing is trying different ways of printing. Are
there any options in the Print Setup that can be turned off/on/around.
Maybe if the used OFFICE.INI to disable the print dialog? PrintDlg=0 in
[Printing]. Does Notepad print OK?

    Hi, 
    
    Just as an FYI the information in .6 seemed to work so thanks for all
    of your assistance.
