Digi MIL-3000FTX Printing to FastPort, Printing Specific File Formats, Capture /S=raisa /Q=lp1

4. It attaches to those print queues and goes to the next phase.

Note: If a context was not specified in the NVRAM, it will not logon to NDS.

5.FastPort then tries to locate normal Bindery file servers.

6.Once it locates one, it looks in its “preferred server” NVRAM value, and if it exists, gets a route to that server.

7.It then looks on the preferred server in the sys:\login\milan directory for its configuration file (FPXXXXXX - last six digits of hardware address).

8.It then reads its configuration file and logs in and attaches to the queues and servers listed in that configuration file.

9.If a preferred server was not specified in its NVRAM, it will search up to 24 file servers on the network for a config. file.

10.If a config. file is not found, FastPort will go through a list of servers and try to log in as print server FPXXXXXX. If successful, it gets the list of queues and attaches to them.

4.5 Printing to FastPort

Print to FastPort as if it were a Novell print server. For example, use Novell’s CAPTURE command to capture a local PC port to the FastPort print queue. For example (assuming a host name of raisa on LPT 1):

CAPTURE /S=raisa /Q=lp1

Or, use NPRINT to print to FastPort:

NPRINT myfile /S=raisa /Q=lp1

4.6 Printing Specific File Formats

If you are having difficulty printing postscript files using binary emulation, review section 3.2.2.1. Example 1. Add b=ps (from Table 4-1) in the FPXXXXXX configuration file. Or when printing “HP/GL” files, turn the banner off by adding b=off after the two colons on the FPXXXXXX configuration file.

For printing through NPS, use NWADMIN. Add two colons before the entries in Table C-1 (in Appendix C) to the description field.
