NetWare Version 3.x RPRINTER Setup
These steps are for Novell environments with Netware 3.x (or earlier) file
servers.
To configure a new RPRINTER on a NetWare 3.x network:
1. Log in to the PrintNet command shell, npsh, as root.
If you have TCP/IP available and this print server already has an IP
address stored within it, you can use the built-in HTML configuration
forms or a Telnet session. Please see “Configuration Tools” on
page 23 for further details. If you have only Novell available, you will
need to use a PC, laptop, or terminal.
NOTE: If you use HTML configuration, you will need to go to the
“Network Configuration” HTML form (i.e.,
“
http://
PrintNetIPaddress
/networkConf.html”;
(e.g., “
http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html”) and
look under the “Novell” section. The settings in the following step
are found there. If using a Telnet session, you will need to
manually execute the commands listed in the next step.
2. Store the RPRINTER settings on the PrintNet. This will refer to an
existing PSERVER.NLM on the file server or to one that you will
create later in these steps.
Syntax:
store rprinter add
PSERVERname printernumber
PrintNetdestination
Example for an RPRINTER servicing printer 0 of the PSERVER.NLM
called pserver1 and sending jobs to the PrintNet destination d1prn:
store rprinter add pserver1 0 d1prn
3. Leave this PrintNet login session and log on to the NetWare 3.x file
server as Supervisor.
4. Load a PSERVER.NLM if there is not one loaded already. This will be
the PSERVER that the PrintNet services as an RPRINTER so it must
match the PSERVER name given in step 2.
5. Enter PCONSOLE.
6. Select “Print Queue Information” from the PCONSOLE Main Menu.
