ETHERNET PRINT SERVER
You must perform these steps on each file sever that will need access to the
EPS queues. Users on each file server wishing to print will specify the file
server’s queue name; the file server and EPS will decide which, if any, of the
EPS’s queues can service the requests.
Note the name of the EPS from the back label. The following steps refer to
NetWare v3.11, but are similar for v2.x:
1. Log in as Supervisor on the file server, and change directory to \SYSTEM:
f: cd \system
1a. If you have not already done so, you may need to tell the file server to
allow unencrypted passwords—the EPS will not use encrypted passwords.
This feature was added to NetWare 386 as a security option. By default,
encryption is required, so the EPS will not be able to log in and accept
jobs.
If you did not already have the following line in the startup file, you need
to change this setting by hand and add it to your startup file (so it’s set for
each boot). Use the file server console command line (“:”) prompt and
type:
: SET ALLOW UNENCRYPTED PASSWORDS = ON <Enter>
1b. To make this command permanent, you can add a line to your
AUTOEXEC.NCF startup file via the SYSCON utility. To run SYSCON,
type:
F: SYSCON<Enter>
