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).
2. Telnet to the print server. This will bring up a login screen:
telnet ipaddress
3. You should now see a prompt display that has the NIC’s IP a ddress
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
Note If it is an NDS pserver, only enter the PSERVER name and not the context
(e.g.,
sales_ps
).
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
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.
