SUMMARY
Although the "Microsoft Windows NT System Guide" states that Print Manager
can create, remove, and administer printers on remote servers, it has the
following limitations administering remote server print queues:
- The Print menu Connect To Printer option connects printers only on the
local server, even when the focus is set to a remote server. If you want
to create a NetWare printer that is shared through the Gateway service,
you must create it at the local machine (because you have to create a
connection to the NetWare printer share).
- When creating a printer on a remote server, Print Manager cannot choose
a printer that is not physically connected to that remote server.
When you attempt to create remote printer, the following error message
appears:
The parameter is incorrect
- The Print menu Connect To Printer option under Windows NT 3.5 can
create a printer based on a port that is already defined on the remote
server. If you choose Create Printer from the Print menu and attempt to
connect to a port for DLC or LPR, the following error appears:
Could not add port. The network request is not supported.
This type of action requires the DLL, which is responsible for managing
the port, to load. Loading the DLL across the network is not supported
at this time.
