IBM 6500 manual Pserver Setup

PSERVER Setup

•Find the “PSERVER” section on the Novell HTML status page. Look for a valid queue under the “EPS QUEUES” section. If the printer field contains a number, and there is a valid file server but no queue, then you probably made an error in the setup. At this point try again. If it is an NDS PSERVER setup, look for a line with the following type of message: “Could not login to NDS Tree <TREE> as <PSERVER.<CONTEXT>”. This indicates one of the following: the tree is wrong; the context stored on the Ethernet Interface for the print server object is wrong; the print server object password is wrong; or the print server object name is wrong.

•Find the “RPRINTER” section on the Novell HTML status page. Look for the following type of line: “(0:ENPReadConfig):[0:213] Destination = <X>”, where <X> is between 0 and 3. If they all read: “Destination = 65536,” then the PSERVER setup did not complete properly. If there is a valid “Destination =” line, then double check that there is an entry for this number under the “ENP INFO” section.

•Find the “General Messages” section on the Novell HTML status page. Look for a valid entry for the printer. It will look similar to: “(0:InitSinglePrinter): printer=<X> name=<NAME>”. Then look for the following lines: “(0:Printf): RemoteMonitor(<X>); printer is” and “(0:Printf): WAITING_FOR_JOB”. If you see these lines, the Ethernet Interface is set up properly, and the problem points to a setup issue on the workstation.

•If the Ethernet Interface has logged in to the file server but has not attached to the queue, there may be a permission problem. Make sure the appropriate users have rights to this queue (they should be in the group “everyone”). Also, you may have to assign the queue to root so it is available to everyone.

•Did you rename any objects in Netware Administrator during your setup? Netware Administrator seems to have a problems renaming objects. If so, delete everything and start over.
