Starting the NPRINTER Daemon at the UNIX command line
Before NPRINTER daemon can be started, ensure the following:
• A NetWare print server (the NetWare Services print server or any native
NetWare print server) is running
• A printer object is defined for use with NPRINTER
• A UNIX printer is defined through the UNIX print system
• A printer entry exists in the NPRINTER PRTConfig and RPControl
configuration files that link the NetWare print server to the UNIX printer
To start the NPRINTER daemon, as root user on the UNIX console, type
nprinter <Enter>
Under normal operation, all error and warning messages are displayed on
the UNIX console (/dev/console). If you want to see more output or if you
prefer to have NPRINTER write all output to a log file, there are additional
command line parameters that can be specified.
To start NPRINTER and display more verbose output to the UNIX console,
type
nprinter -x name_of_log_file <Enter>
Stopping the NPRINTER Daemon at the UNIX Command Line
To stop NPRINTER daemon, as root user on the UNIX console, type
stopnp <Enter>
