RPRINTER Setup
NIC 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
or 5
.x
server:
1. NIC requires a bindery server login on the
4.
x
or 5
.x
as the first
step to servicing RPRINTER. This bindery login is necessary
for registering the NIC Pserver name; no bindery queues or
printers are set up. Using PCONSOLE, bindery mode, create a
bindery printer server object whose name matches that of the
NIC at the root context of the
4.
x
or 5
.x
box (e.g., M_03092B).
After creating the bindery PrintServer on the
4.
x
or 5
.x
server,
reboot NIC and use the
debug Novell pserver
command via
a Telnet or npsh session, or print out the E-NET Test Page 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.
x
or 5
.x
queue name, print server name, and printer
object do not have to match any NIC 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
