SYMPTOMS
========

After you have converted and moved all your NetWare files and utilities to your
File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) server, Nprint does not work from a
DOS NetWare client. When you use Nprint to print a file, the following message
appears:

  Connection information on the destination server could not be obtained.

NOTE: If you log on to the FPNW server from a DOS NetWare client (ODI), the
NPRINT command works, but the output is incorrect.

WORKAROUND
==========

This issue can be worked around by capturing the printer prior to printing. VLM
clients are not affected by this problem.

RESOLUTION
==========

This is by design.
