Reni,
DOS and DOS apps are limited to the number of printers they can print to,
and when trying to print from DOS apps under win95, the same limits apply.
Printing from Windows apps is another story. You can setup as many printers
as you like for your Windows apps, and you don't need to capture a printer
port at all - Win95 can print directly to the network queue.  Just setup the
printer as a network printer and point it to the Novell queue, and forget
about
capturing a printer port (unless you DO have a DOS app that needs to print
to it,
in which case you're probably gonna be limited to 3 printers.  Even if you
could
capture to an LPT4, your DOS app won't see it).
