RPRINTER/NPRINTER Setup (Netware 3.x and 4.x)
This procedure associates an existing PSERVER with a remote LineJet Print
Server acting as a RPRINTER/NPRINTER in a NetWare 3.x or Netware 4.x
environment. It is the PSERVER’s responsibility to get jobs from the queue
and to pass them off to the LineJet Print Server acting as the remote printer.
Unlike a PSERVER setup, the LineJet Print Server does not deal directly with
the queues.
The following steps assume that you have created a PSERVER object in
either Netware 3.x or Netware 4.x and have assigned printers and queues to
it. If you have not already done this, do it now. The setup is similar to creating
a PSERVER setup for the LineJet Print Server, except that there are no
restrictions about which names may be used for the print server and printer
objects.
HTML Method
1. Load a PSERVER on your Netware 3.x or Netware 4.x file server (i.e.,
issue a
load pserver
pservername
command on the file server).
2. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the
print server over TCP/IP.
3. Direct your Web browser to URL:
http://
LineJetIPaddress
/networkConf.html
(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html)
4. Look under the “Novell” section and find a row in the RPRINTER
category.
Note As an RPRINTER/NPRINTER, the print server does not use a login ID. A
non-LineJet Print Server print server such as PSERVER.NLM or
PSERVER.EXE must be running for RPRINTER to operate. Also, if the
LineJet Print Server loses a connection to a PSERVER, it will automatically
reconnect when that server becomes available again.
Note Write down the printer number(s) assigned to the printer(s) you are going
to be using for this setup. You will need them in a later step.
Note If it is an NDS PSERVER on a Netware 4.x file server, you must specify the
PSERVER name and context for
pservername
. For example:
load pserver .sales_ps.sales.hp
Note
If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in
root
for the ID and
press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by
default.
