Setting Up Printers Attached to Workstations or Servers

Using NPRINTER.EXE

Replace LPT1 with the port that the printer is cabled to (for example: LPT2,

COM1, COM2).

Loading Port Drivers from the NPRINTER Menu

The NPRINTER menu allows you to load printers conﬁgured as “Manual

Load” and printers of type “Other/Unknown.” This menu also allows you to

view available print servers or printers before selecting which printer to

load. Printers conﬁgured as type “Other/Unknown” can be conﬁgured at

load time as parallel or serial with the interrupt you select.

Procedure

1 (Optional) Log in.

2 Type the following:

NPRINTER <Enter>

A list of available print servers appears.

NOTE: Press <F4> to switch to Directory Services mode and then press <Insert> to browse

for a printer and skip the remaining steps. Press <F1> for help. Switching to

Directory Services mode only determines how you find a printer. You will still have

the advantages of Directory Services without using Directory Services mode to find

a printer.

3 Choose a print server.

A list of printers assigned to the print server appears.

For example, to load a printer that is assigned to PS-SALES, choose PS-SALES.

A list of printers not in use that are assigned to PS-SALES appears.

4 Choose a printer.

For example, to load network printer P_1, choose P_1 from the list of available

printers on PS-SALES.
