HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS - (English) Readme (version 3.00b)
• Printing multiple copies of one document works properly.
• Job monitoring can now be enabled or disabled. See Section F.
CONFIGURATION AND LOGGING FILES for more details.
• Context help has been updated for the
CONFIG_PRNTR_GATE_DEFAULTS and
CONFIG_PRNTR_GATE_PARM menus.
• The LOAD HPGATE.NLM DEBUG load string works when the NLM is not
already loaded.
• Abend related to dplsv386.nlm has been fixed.
• The configuration snap-in interface for Windows clients now allows easier
entry of IP addresses, host names, and IPX addresses.
• The DNS name length has been increased to a maximum of 254
characters.
• The printer agent “not bound” issue has been fixed under the following
situations:
1. The Service Thread shuts down a printer agent prematurely when the
HP Printer Gateway attempts to connect to the device and receives a
connection refused or connection aborted message. An administrator
may set the “Job retry timeout” entry to zero in the hpndps.ini file to
eliminate this “not bound” situation.
2. The Job Monitor Thread shuts down a printer agent prematurely if the
printer does not respond in a timely manner when queried for the PML
index of the current job. An administrator may set the “Job monitor
timeout” entry to zero in the hpndps.ini file to eliminate this “not bound”
situation.
3. A print job is canceled before the HP Printer Gateway has a chance to
open it. This returns a –811 error and the printer agent becomes “not
bound”.
• HP Printer Gateway networking communication was converted from the
NetWare TLI (Transport Level Interface) API (Application Program
Interface) to the NetWare Winsock API.
• A control access printer can be created with a non-existing host name in
the DNS table. This enables administrators to pre-configure printer agents
prior to rolling into a production environment.
• Shutting down the HP Printer Gateway on a large network now does not
hang the Gateway while it is running public access printer discovery.
• All IP-based printer agents with a “Timeout to close job” value of 50
seconds will be updated to a new default value of 3 seconds during the
