Netware 4.11 Newbie question!

I have inherited a simple network where a single login script at the OU
level has a capture statement for the only printer on the network.

We are running win95 stations with novell client 3.1.

Am I right in thinking that the printer "capture" statement does not have to
be in the login script?

It seems that Client 3.1 with win95 can "capture" any queue or printer I
like simply by using the "Add a Printer" wizard.  Does this mean the current
login script capture is bogus?  It was previously installed by someone from
a Netware 3.12/win3.1 environment.

Do I need to keep those capture statements?  What could happen if I deleted
them?  I just want to keep the login script clean and simple.

I ask this because I have installed another printer and I did not need to
put a "capture" statement in the login script in order for the workstations
to be able to print to it.  Just thought I'd ask!

Thanks,
Robert
