2775.0. "Problems adding one printer" by USCTR1::SCHWABE () Fri Jan 31 1997 17:41

    
    
    Trying to add a printers to Windows95 pc and keep getting message
    that printer is offline. This is only happening to one queue.
    
    LAT based Queue is set up on a VMS server. As indicated above I
    can add other lat queues just fine.
    
    Now the weird part is that if I go into DOS and type:
    
                net use lpt3: \\mrdqs1\bev 
    
    It connects ok, then I can go into the Windows95 print wizard
    and add the queue without any problems.
    
    A contractor that supports another site indicated that this
    is the procedure he has to follow to add queues at a field 
    site that he supports.
    
    Any idea whats going on??

     Queue name matcjes share name and there is no other account or
     service named BEV.
    
     It is listed as a pathworks printer service.
