I'm trying to get my Novell network to share a laserprinter, so far with
limited success.  I'm running Advanced Netware 286 V2.15C over Ethernet.

The first problem occurs when printing the printer.tst file from Word
Perfect.  This prints just fine when I'm logged in as Supervisor but
fails on the second page when I'm logged in as anyone else.  This
problem goes away when I suppress the graphics output of the test
document, and it does not appear to be related to the file size (larger
text-only files print fine) or which workstation I use.  I've tried
using different timeout values with the Capture command, but that
doesn't change anything.

The second, more serious, problem occurs when I start Microsoft Excel
for Windows.  Excel runs fine but all attempts to print spreadsheets
just disappear into hyperspace.  Of course once I'm logged out of the
network and directly connected to the laserprinter everything works
fine.

Any clues or suggestions as to WTHIGO?
