RPRINTER Setup (Pre-NetWare 4)

This procedure associates an existing PSERVER with a remote Internal Ethernet Adapter acting as an RPRINTER in a pre-NetWare 4 environment. It is the PSERVER’s responsibility to get jobs from the queue and to pass them off to the Internal Ethernet Adapter acting as the remote printer. Unlike a PSERVER set-up, the Internal Ethernet Adapter does not deal directly with the queues.

NOTE: As an RPRINTER, the Print Server does not use a login ID. In addition, a non-Internal Ethernet Adapter (e.g. PSERVER.NLM) must be running for RPRINTER to operate.

An RPRINTER set up requires the use of a configuration file. This file is required to tell the Internal Ethernet Adapter to act as an RPRINTER upon boot up since RPRINTER settings do not hold their effect through a power cycle. Once the unit boots up, the Internal Ethernet Adapter contacts file servers it knows and on each Print Server looks for the file SYS:\LOGIN\M_xxxxxx\CONFIG where xxxxxx equals the last six digits (in hexadecimal) of the Ethernet address as found at the bottom of the unit. If it finds this file, it reads in each entry as if it were an npsh command entered right on the unit.

NOTE: To ensure that the Internal Ethernet Adapter contacts the file server that contains the CONFIG file, set up the appropriate file server as a preferred file server.
