Chapter 5 Novell Host Configuration
86
NetWare Version 4.x RPRINTER Setup
PrintNet can be configured to service both RPRINTER, NDS mode, and
PSERVER, bindery mode.
Use the following procedure to set up an RPRINTER form of attachment
on a 4.x server:
1. PrintNet requires a bindery server login on the 4.1x as the first step to
servicing RPRINTER. This bindery login is necessary for registering
the PrintNet Pserver name; no bindery queues or printers are setup.
Using PCONSOLE, bindery mode, create a bindery printer server
object whose name matches that of the PrintNet at the root context of
the 4.1x box (i.e., M_03092B). After creating the bindery PrintServer
on the 4.1x server, reboot PrintNet and use the
debug Novell
pserver
command via a Telnet or npsh session, or print the E-net
Test Page out to make sure there is a successful server login.
2. Using either PCONSOLE in NDS mode, or NWADMIN:
a. create an NDS queue (any name you want), or simply use an
existing one;
b. create a print server to use (any valid name, or choose one
already in existence);
c. create a printer object to use with the print server object you
chose or created, and attach it to the chosen queue;
NOTE: The 4.1x queue name, print server name, and printer object don’t
have to match any PrintNet name; multiple printers can be
defined, but only one print server can be attached to.
Example:
NDS queue name: Finance
NDS print server name: Fin_Q
NDS printer name: Fin_Prt_1
NDS printer name: Accounting_Prt_1
