Even though the entire print set up is done through PCONSOLE, you may want to communicate directly with the print server in order to modify settings, monitor the unit, etc. To communicate with the print server, the optional host software, npsh.exe, may be used. npsh.exe is a DOS executable program that can be run from a DOS prompt on a NetWare workstation.

npsh.exe performs the following:

npsh nvplist

Lists all of the NIC devices on the network; each name is in the default format M_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx equals the last six digits of the unit Ethernet address). This is regardless of whether it is configured as a PSERVER or an RPRINTER.

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.
