Siemens V4.0 manual Windows NT-style Printing

Installing Advanced Server for UNIX Installing server software (asxserver package)

If you install an Advanced Server for UNIX V4.0 primary domain controller from scratch or upgrade a LAN Manager/X to be an Advanced Server for UNIX primary domain controller, you can select the domain language for the domain. All builtin objects are initialized using the selected domain language.

If you install an Advanced Server for UNIX V4.0 backup domain controller from scratch or upgrade a LAN Manager/X to be an Advanced Server for UNIX backup domain controller you should select the same domain language as on the primary domain controller to prevent trouble managing objects in that domain.

During an upgrade installation it could happen that a database cannot be upgraded because it is too corrupt to repair. In this very special situation it must be re-initialized with

anew domain language.

To change the output language of commands see Output language.

Please refer to the chapter entitled “Administration guidelines“ for further information on how to change the domain language after installation.

Windows NT-style Printing

One of the new features in Advanced Server for UNIX Version 4.0 is Windows NT-style printing.

This feature means that you can manage Advanced Server for UNIX print operations in the same way as Windows NT. Advanced Server computers can store printer drivers for Windows NT and Windows 95/98 client computers on the server. Printer drivers are downloaded automatically from the server to Windows 95/98 and Windows NT client computers. These clients then can use the server’s printers without loading printer drivers manually.

However, Windows NT-style Printing requires that the administrator updates each printer share with the appropriate printer driver(s) before Windows NT client computers will be able to use this server’s printers.

If you don’t disable Windows NT-style printing, your Windows NT client computers

!will not be able to print until you administer each printer share that these clients will use.

Only Windows NT client computers are affected. This is not required for Windows 95/98 or any other type of Microsoft network clients; they will continue to work as before.
