NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x RPRINTER Setup
167
3. At a
4.
x
or 5
.x
console session, if a pserver.nlm session is
already running for Fin_Q, first unload it, then reload it to find
the new objects, or simply issue
load pserver Fin_Q
.
If you are successful, the print server console screen will show
a “printer status” option. In the “printer status” window, note the
numbers assigned to the printers you created. Assume for our
example that one printer previously existed (number 0), and we
are adding two more whose numbers became 1 and 2.
NOTE: On the load command, you must strictly follow the case of
the name (this is not required on NIC).
4. Via a Telnet or npsh session, create RPRINTER attachments:
store rprinter add Fin_Q 1 d1prn
This command assigns destination d1prn as the RPRINTER 1
service path.
store rprinter add Fin_Q 2 d4prn
This command assigns destination d4prn as the RPRINTER 2
service path.
For NIC entries, case does not have to be observed. Also, if
you want to change the destination names from d
x
prn, do so
first with the
set dest <dest> name <new name>
command,
being sure to use the save command so these reappear after a
reboot.
5. Reboot the NIC adapter (power the printer off and on, or use
the
reset
command) so the new RPRINTER service names
are broadcast.
6. Open a Telnet or npsh session and log into NIC. Wait a minute
or two, then use the
list rprinter
command, and you should
see your entries. You could also do this by looking at the
connection status on the

PSERVER printer status
entries.
