Chapter 12 Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T)

 

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

 

 

This procedure associates an existing PSERVER with a remote NIC acting as

 

 

a RPRINTER/NPRINTER in a NetWare 3.x or Netware 4.x or Netware 5.x

 

 

environment. It is the PSERVER’s responsibility to get jobs from the queue

 

 

and to pass them off to the NIC acting as the remote printer. Unlike a

 

 

PSERVER setup, the NIC does not deal directly with the queues.

 

 

 

 

Note

As an RPRINTER/NPRINTER, the print server does not use a login ID. A

 

 

non-NIC print server such as PSERVER.NLM or PSERVER.EXE must be

 

 

running for RPRINTER to operate. Also, if the NIC loses a connection to a

 

 

PSERVER, it will automatically reconnect when that server becomes

 

 

available again.

 

 

 

 

 

The following steps assume that you have created a PSERVER object in

 

 

either Netware 3.x or 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 you may use for the print server and printer

 

 

objects.

 

 

 

 

Note

Write down the printer number(s) assigned to the printer(s) you are going

 

 

to use for this setup. You will need them in a later step.

 

HTML Method

1.Load a PSERVER on your Netware 3.x or 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 or 5.x file server, you must

 

specify the PSERVER name and context for pservername. For example:

 

load pserver .sales_ps.sales.hp

 

 

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://P5000LJIPaddress/networkConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html)

Note

If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the ID and

 

press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by

 

default.
