Printer Utilities
Departmental Printer Resource Utility (DPRU)
This application provides a repository (resource inventory) for fonts and overlays (macros) on a workstation with access to an IBM
network printer. Once a font or overlay has been added to the DPRU inventory, it can be downloaded to the hard drive.
The font format supported is TrueType. Fonts and overlays that are downloaded are available to workstation applications when the
printer drivers are selected. DPRU is a separate program that uses the printer drivers to download. It is supported for:

DPRU is shipped on CD-ROM with the PCL/PostScript feature.
IBM Network Printer Tool Box (NPTB) for Windows
IBM provides the Network Printer Tool Box (NPTB) with an easy-to-use graphical interface for network administrators. Infoprint 2085
and 2105 are supported on NPTB version 4.x. NPTB supports Microsoft 95/98/NT/2000 platforms.
Network administrators can set-up Notification Manager for Infoprint 2085 and 2105. Whether printers are low on toner, out of paper or
need attention, these notifications can get the information to the right source without delay, improving printer up-time and end user
productivity.
NPTB helps users install and configure IBM network printers in LANs, including Novell networks (Bindery and NDS). NPTB monitors
printers and provides printer status using the industry-standard, open-systems SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Printer
MIB and private enterprise MIBs.
Some examples of the information available using SNMP are: on/offline, paper jam, out of toner, output tray full, input tray empty, and
information about the printer's configuration, capacity, and number of pages printed.
Other functions provided by NPTB include:
● Printer microcode update.
● Printer grouping.
● Printer reset.
● Copy printer settings.
NPTB uses the following protocols:
