Hi all,
I'm converting an application to use NWP for the first time. When using Windows "WIN:" printing (as opposed to Direct "PRN:" or "DIRECT:" Printing), what is the role of the SPOOLCMD? Do I still use it?
SPOOLCMD wbspool -Q[PRINTER] -E [&ERRNO][SPOOLFILE]
Or does the Windows spooler take over? Should I have any reference to SPOOLCMD and SPOOLPATH in my BRCONFIG.SYS file when using NWP?

Re: SPOOLCMD under NWP
SPOOLPATH is still important because any temporary files created during the printing process will be created there, so if is set to a folder that the user doesn't have permission to, you can get errors.
On client Server you need to check both SPOOLPATH and REMOTESPOOLPATH to make sure the user has permissions to both folders.
