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

Setup using Forward Jobs to a Queue Mode

In this mode, an NDPS printer agent receives jobs from an NDPS client, then forwards these jobs to an existing Netware queue. The Netware queue would then be serviced by the NIC in some manner.

1.The P5000LJ printer must first be set up to service some Netware queue, either by doing a PSERVER or RPRINTER mode setup from previous chapters.

2.When setting up the NDPS printer agent, use the “Novell Printer Gateway.”

3.For the “Novell PDS,” choose “((NONE).”

4.For the “Port Handler,” choose “Froward Jobs to a Queue,” then choose the queue used in step 1 above, and note the Caution statement about the Queue User Name.

5.For the “Select Printer Drivers” dialog, choose no driver unless you have a driver into the Broker’s RMS which is to be used with the P5000LJ printer.

Setup using LPR Mode

In this mode, an NDPS printer agent receives jobs from an NDPS client, then forwards these jobs to a printer using the LPR protocol.

1.The NIC must first be set up with IP connectivity and be able to receive jobs using the LPR protocol.

2.When setting up the NDPS printer agent, use the “Novell Printer Gateway.”

3.For the “Novell PDS,” choose “((NONE)).”

4.For the “Port Handler,” choose “Remote (LPR on IP),” then enter the hostname/ipaddress and printer name

(d1prn - d4prn by default) in the next dialog.

NOTE: When the IPDS feature is installed, queue name d4prn is not available.

5.For the “Select Printer Drivers” dialog, choose no driver unless you have a driver installed into the Broker’s RMS which is to be used with the P5000LJ printer.

Setup Using RPRINTER Mode

In this mode, an NDPS printer agent receives jobs from an NDPS client, then forwards these jobs to a printer using the RPRINTER IPX protocol.

1.The NIC must first be set up to function in RPRINTER mode, choosing any desired Print Server Name and Printer Number.

2.When setting up the NDPS printer agent, use the “Novell Printer Gateway.”

3.For the “Novell PDS,” choose “((NONE)).”

4.For the “Port Handler,” choose “Remote (rprinter on IPX).”
