NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x PSERVER Setup

npsh unitname

Starts a Telnet-like session with the named print server, allowing you to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the unit with the built-in command set.

npsh unitname command

Initiates a single command with guest access only to the unit instead of entering into a complete session.

To communicate with the unit using npsh.exe:

1.From a DOS prompt on a Novell workstation, begin an npsh session with the unit:

npsh unitname

Starts a Telnet-like session with the named print server with guest access only.

2.To obtain root access to the unit, type: supervisor

A standard login screen displays prompting you for the login name and password.

3.Log in to the unit as root user:

root

NOTE: Root users require the use of a password as configured in the unit user list.

4.Enter the password. If this password is not yet set, press ENTER at the password prompt. Otherwise, enter the password that is already stored in the unit:

password

You are now logged in to the unit as a root user and can access any npsh command on the unit.

NOTE: Because npsh.exe makes use of broadcasts, you may have problems communicating across a router.
