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

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 started in step 1 into the “Print Server Name” field.

Note

If it is an NDS pserver, only enter 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.

7.Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each additional printer you would like to have serviced.

8.Click the SUBMIT button when done and physically re-power the printer to make the new settings take effect.

Manual (Telnet) 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. Telnet to the print server. This will bring up a login screen:

 

telnet ipaddress

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.

 

 

3.You should now see a prompt display that has the NIC’s IP address followed by a colon then root.

ipaddress:root>

4.At the prompt, store the RPRINTER settings on the NIC. The pservername refers to the existing PSERVER.NLM on the file server created in step 1.

Syntax:

store rprinter add pservername printernumber P5000LJdestination
