I have been experiencing the following problem: On a brand new PC running Windows 2000 Pro (service pack 2 installed) I can add a printer that will print to a Netware print queue (Netware 5.0 sp8) with no problem. When I go to look at the propertiesof the printer, Windows 2000 GPF's with a kernal error, unloads all applications and reloads the kernal. I cannot print to this printer. I have found a similar TID on Novell's web site that indicates the rev of client being used, but I am running a later version than that mentioned. (4.8) Happens with client service for Netware AND Novell's client. Anybody got a fix?

Have you tried installing Gateway Services for Netware? You could probably share out the printer on your Netware machine and connect to it using gsnw which will give you the option to mess with the printer settings. I'm assuming that the printer is attached to the Netware machine and that you're are trying to connect to the Netware machine with your W2K Pro computer to print off of the shared Netware printer. Does that sound right. If that's the case gsnw should give you the options and thecorrect protocols to do this. Good luck.

Add your printers by creating a tcp/ip port in your add printers and bypass the novell cue. Click add printer, check local printer. click create port. type in printer name or ip address and print away. If you must use Novell, uninstall client and reinstall custom turning off novell distributed print services.
