Chapter 6 Novell Host Configuration

NOTE: The 4.x or 5.x queue name, print server name, and printer object do not have to match any Ethernet Interface name; multiple printers can be defined, but only one print server can be attached to.

Example:

 

NDS queue name:

Finance

NDS print server name:

Fin_Q

NDS printer name:

Fin_Prt_1

NDS printer name:

Accounting_Prt_1

3.At a 4.x or 5.x console session, if a pserver.nlm session is already running for Fin_Q, first unload it, then reload it to find the new objects, or simply issue load pserver Fin_Q.

If you are successful, the print server console screen will show a “printer status” option. In the “printer status” window, note the numbers assigned to the printers you created. Assume for our example that one printer previously existed (number 0), and we are adding two more whose numbers became 1 and 2.

NOTE: On the load command, you must strictly follow the case of the name (this is not required on the Ethernet Interface).

4.Via a Telnet or npsh session, create RPRINTER attachments: store rprinter add Fin_Q 1 d1prn

This command assigns destination d1prn as the RPRINTER 1 service path.

store rprinter add Fin_Q 2 d4prn

This command assigns destination d4prn as the RPRINTER 2 service path.

For Ethernet Interface entries, case does not have to be observed. Also, if you want to change the destination names from dxprn, do so first with the set dest <dest> name <new name> command, being sure to use the save command so these reappear after a reboot.

5.Reboot the Ethernet Interface adapter (power the printer off and on, or use the reset command) so the new RPRINTER service names are broadcast.
