Printronix P5000LJ user manual Npds Configuration Netware 4.11 and Above, Overview

Chapter 12 NPDS Configuration (Netware 4.11 and Above)

Example for an RPRINTER servicing printer 0 of the PSERVER.NLM called pserver1 and sending jobs to the NIC destination d1prn: store rprinter add pserver1 0 d1prn

Note	If it is an NDS pserver, only enter the PSERVER name and not the context
	(e.g., sales_ps).

5. Physically re-power the printer to make the new settings take effect.

Wait two minutes and then check your PSERVER to see if the appropriate printer is being serviced. The printer should display a message such as “Waiting for job.” At this point, the NIC knows to receive any jobs this PSERVER.NLM has to send to it through the defined printer.

NPDS Configuration (Netware 4.11 and Above)

Overview

In 1998, Novell released a new printing system designed to make network administration of printers easier and more fully functional. This system is called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS), and can be used with Novell Netware 4.11 and above along with the supporting software on clients. This section gives high-level instructions to install and use NDPS with the printer. These instructions assume that you understand NDPS architecture well enough to be able to use these instructions along with Novell’s instructions to install the NIC into NDPS. See Novell’s documentation to better understand terms not defined here.

The drivers used with the P5000LJ printer can be automatically downloaded into a Windows machine when a NDPS printer is installed, if the driver is installed into the NDPS Broker Resource Management Service. See Novell’s documentation for more information.

The NIC can be installed into NDPS using the Novell Printer Gateway feature of NDPS. Within this Novell Printer Gateway, use the following various printer connection modes to install the printer into NDPS:

•setup using Forward Jobs to a Queue Mode

•setup using LPR Mode

•setup using PPRINTER Mode
