Chapter 3 Configuring The Print Server

Configuration Alternatives

Besides the HTML forms and software provided, the LineJet Print Server internal command shell, npsh, can also be reached using the following methods.

The Print Server Manager Utility

The Print Server printer manager utility is a versatile and dynamic program. It allows you to remotely organize all the printers in your office in a single database; download software and printer settings from a host computer with a single mouse click; and use a virtual operator’s panel to configure printers in the same room or on the other side of the world.

Telnet

A TCP/IP command that helps configure LineJet Print Server settings remotely. A TCP/IP host starts a Telnet session with the print server and logs in to the device command shell to alter and view settings.

Example:

telnet 192.75.11.9

Remote Shell

A TCP/IP command that helps configure print server settings remotely. A TCP/IP host uses this command to remotely execute a single command on the LineJet Print Server.

Example:

rsh spike list prn

This command remotely executes the npsh command list prn on the LineJet Print Server named spike.

Configuration Using a Web Browser

The LineJet Print Server settings can be configured over TCP/IP through a standard Web browser. The LineJet Print Server Web pages provide a handy way to access some of the commands built into the print server. You can access online help for all HTML pages.

Note If a router is used, make sure a gateway value is configured.

To access the LineJet Print Server home page:

1.Make sure the print server has an IP address and subnet mask so it is recognizable on your TCP/IP network.
