Chapter 11 Novell Host Configuration

NetWare Version 3.x RPRINTER Setup

These steps are for Novell environments with Netware 3.x (or earlier) file servers.

To configure a new RPRINTER on a NetWare 3.x network:

1.Log in to the NIC command shell, npsh, as root.

If you have TCP/IP available and this print server already has an IP address stored within it, you can use the built-in HTML configuration forms or a Telnet session. Please see “Configuration Alternatives” on page 69 for additional details. If you have only Novell available, you will need to use a PC, laptop, or terminal.

Note

If you use HTML configuration, you will need to go to the Network

 

Configuration HTML form http://P5000LJIPaddress/

 

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

 

networkConf.html) and look under the “Novell” section. The settings

 

in the following step are found there. If using a Telnet session, you will

 

need to manually execute the commands listed in the next step.

 

 

2.Store the RPRINTER settings on the NIC. This will refer to an existing PSERVER.NLM on the file server or to one that you will create later in these steps.

Syntax:

store rprinter add PSERVERname printernumber P5000LJdestination

Example for an RPRINTER servicing printer 0 of the PSERVER.NLM called pserver1 and sending jobs to the NIC destination d1prn:

store rprinter add pserver1 0 d1prn

3.Leave this NIC login session and log on to the NetWare 3.x file server as Supervisor.

4.Load a PSERVER.NLM if there is not one loaded already. This will be the PSERVER that the NIC services as an RPRINTER so it must match the PSERVER name given in step 2.

5.Enter PCONSOLE.

6.Select “Print Queue Information” from the PCONSOLE Main Menu.

7.Press INSERT to add a new queue to the list of currently defined queues.

8.Type in the name of this new queue when prompted and press ENTER. This can be any name you would like.

9.Press ESCAPE to return to the Main Menu.

10.Select “Print Server Information” and press ENTER.

11.Press INSERT when the list of existing print servers displays.

12.Select the print server that you want the Print Server to service as an RPRINTER. This is the PSERVER.NLM loaded in step 4.
