We have been trying to use PSERVER with a couple of IBM 3812 Pageprinters
which can only be connected to via a serial line. We have tried the NLM, VAP
and EXE versions and we cannot get RCONSOLE to "see" the printer. We had some
success with PSERVER.EXE running on the workstation to which the
printer was attached but we want to be able to use RPRINTER. 

DOES PSERVER WORK WITH SERIAL PRINTERS??? We have now tried another serial
printer and it does not work either although parallel printers are fine.
Printing directly from DOS is not a problem when the printer is attached
locally.

Does anyone have a solution or hints? Novell Australia have run out of 
suggestions and are not being very helpfull.
