Novell Host Configuration

 

 

 

c. create a printer object to use with the print server object you chose or

 

 

 

 

created, and attach it to the chosen queue;

 

 

Note

The 4.x or 5.x queue name, print server name, and printer object don't

 

 

have to match any NIC name; multiple printers can be defined, but only

 

 

one print server can be attached to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

NDS queue name:

Finance

 

 

NDS print server name: Fin_Q

 

 

NDS printer name:

Fin_Prt_1

 

 

NDS printer name:

Accounting_Prt_1

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.

On the load command you must strictly follow case of the name (this is not required on the 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.
