Printing a Test Page
The user can print a simple text test page from the Configure HP Printer Gateway Parameters screen, directed to a specific physical printer. The test page helps the user verify the printing path and the actual connection between the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway and the printer.
To print a test page
1.Make sure that the BROKER.NLM is loaded. If it is not, type LOAD BROKER at the server console prompt and select the name of the Broker.
2.Make sure that the NDPS Manager object is created in the Novell Directory Services™ (NDS™) tree (by way of NetWare Administrator). Refer to Novell documentation on creating this object, if necessary.
3.Make sure that the NDPSM.NLM is loaded. If it is not, type LOAD NDPSM at the server console prompt and select the appropriate NDPS Manager name.
4.Type LOAD HPGATE at the server console prompt.
5.Select the Printer Gateways menu item from the Main Menu screen and then press [Enter]. This action displays the HP Gateway Printer Statistics screen with a smaller Printer Gateways screen, listing loaded HP IP/IPX Printer Gateways. The displayed printer statistics correspond to the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway, highlighted in the list.
6.Select the desired HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway from the list in the Printer Gateways screen and then press [Enter]. This action displays the Configure HP Printer Gateway Parameters screen, showing the settable parameters for the individual printer gateway highlighted in the list.
