RPRINTER/NPRINTER Setup (Netware 3.x, Netware 4.x, And Netware 5.x)

The following steps assume that you have created a PSERVER object in Netware 3.x, Netware 4.x, or Netware 5.x and have assigned printers and queues to it. If you have not already done this, do it now. The setup is similar to creating a PSERVER setup for the NIC, except that there are no restrictions about which names may be used for the print server and printer objects.

NOTE: Write down the printer number(s) assigned to the printer(s) you are going to be using for this setup. You will need them in a later step.

HTML Method

1.Load a PSERVER on your Netware 3.x, Netware 4.x, or Netware 5.x file server (i.e., issue a load pserver pservername command on the file server).

NOTE: If it is an NDS PSERVER on a Netware 4.x/5.x file server, you must specify the PSERVER name and context for pservername. For example:

load pserver .sales_ps.sales.microplex

2.Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the print server over TCP/IP.

3.Direct your Web browser to URL:

http://NICIPaddress/networkConf.html

(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html).

NOTE: If prompted for a User ID and password, type in root for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt (since there is no password by default).

4.Look under the Novell section and find a row in the RPRINTER category.

5.Click Enabled and enter the name used with the PSERVER.NLM into the Print Server Name field.

NOTE: If it is an NDS pserver, enter only the PSERVER name and not the context (e.g., sales_ps).

6.Enter the printer number of the printer you would like serviced into the Printer Number field, and then select the destination on the NIC you would like to use for output.
