NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x 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 (i.e.,
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 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);
Note Because npsh.exe makes use of broadcasts, you may have problems
communicating across a router.
