Printronix Network Interface Card NOTE:, NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x RPRINTER Setup

NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x RPRINTER Setup

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 NIC).

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

6.Open a Telnet or npsh session and log into NIC. Wait a minute or two, then use the list rprinter command, and you should see your entries. You could also do this by looking at the connection status on the 4.x or 5.x PSERVER printer status entries.
