1 Introduction The Print Server Card is a Network Interface Controller that you install into compatible printers to provide Ethernet or Token Ring network connectivity. The Print Server Card has the following features: • Automatic selection of 10Base2 (Thinnet), or, automatic selection of 100BaseT Fast Ethernet connection or 10BaseT Ethernet connection (for Ethernet cards with both type of connections).
1.1 What's in Your Package The Print Server contains the following: • Print Server Card • Quick Install Guide booklet for the Network Interface Card • 1 CD-ROM that contains the following • This Manual • Quick Install Guide for the Network Interface Card • Management Access Program (MAP) • IPX Peer-to-Peer Windows Redirector • IP Peer-to-Peer Windows Redirector • AppleTalk NIManage Utility • UNIX TCP/IP Utility • BootP Lite Utility The SNMP directory also contains the ASN.
1.2 Hardware/NOS Requirements The Print Server Card hardware and software require the following: Version of Protocol or NOS Novell NetWare Version 3.x, or 4.x. Macintosh System 7. UNIX, Windows, or LAN Server systems supporting lpr over TCP/IP. DEC ULTRIX 4.3 or 4.4, DEC OSF/1 2.0 or 3.0, Solaris 1.1.3 or 2.3, (SUN OS 4.1.3 or 5.3), System V Release 4, HP-UX 9.01, IBM AIX 3.2.5, or SCO UNIX 2 for DPI TCP/IP port 10001.
Introduction-4
2 Installing the Print Server Card 2.1 Preparing the Printer If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should generate one before you begin. This will give you detailed information on the identification and configuration of your printer, as well as ensuring that the printer is properly set up and operating. If you are installing an Ethernet Print Server Card, continue to step 1.
2.2 Token Ring Jumper Selection This section is for Token Ring installations only. Go to Section 2.3 if you are installing the Ethernet Print Server card. The Token Ring speed is selected by the position of jumper 12 (JP12) on the Print Server Card. The factory default position for the jumper is across pins 2-3, selecting 16Mbps. If this is the speed that your network uses, then you do not need to do anything. If you need to change the speed to 4Mbps, you must reposition the jumper across pins 1-2.
2.3 Connect the Network to Print Server Card: Ethernet You can connect your Ethernet network in one of two ways: 1. Using the 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet interface. This network connection uses a 4-wire RJ cable to plug into the RJ45 network connector on the Print Server Card. Note: The Print Server Card on power-up automatically determines which type of network connection you are making; 100BaseT, 10BaseT, or 10Base2.
2.4 Connect the Network to Print Server Card: Token Ring You can connect your Token Ring network in one of two ways: 1. Using the Token Ring Unshielded Twisted Pair/Type 3 (UTP) interface . The UTP network connection uses a 4-wire twisted pair RJ cable to plug into the RJ45 network connector (marked UTP on the bracket). Once you make the connection, continue to configure the Print Server Card and the network for the appropriate protocols.
2.5 Powering Up the Printer 1. Plug in the power cord. 2. Turn on the power and wait for the printer to warm up. The printer may print out a status or start-up page (if this option is not disabled). The Print Server Card then provides a print job to the printer which contains the Print Server Card status information. Refer to 8.2 Status Report, for more information. 3. Check the Print Server Card status report. Record the serial number and the Network address or save the status report.
Hardware Installation-6
3 Using the Management Access Program or a Standard Web Browser MAP has the following requirements: • The Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack must be installed on this PC. It is not necessary for the network to support TCP/IP. However, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on this PC even if the network does not support it. • A web browser must be installed on this PC. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer are supported.
3.2 How to Install MAP in Windows The Management Access Program must be installed from Windows95/98 or NT 4.0, it CANNOT be installed from DOS, Windows 3.1x or Windows NT 3.51. Use the following procedures to install: 1. Start Windows on your PC or workstation. 2. Insert the supplied CD ROM into the CD ROM drive. 3. Select RUN from the Start menu. 4. At RUN, type :\MAP\SETUP.EXE and click on the OK button. 5. Read the information on the MAP setup program screen.
4 NetWare Configuration Use this chapter if you will be printing from a Novell NetWare NOS. This chapter is divided into the following sections: • Configuring NetWare 3.1x describes how to configure the Print Server Card for use with Version 3.1x. Use PCONSOLE to set up the print server function. • Configuring NetWare 4.0x in Bindery Emulation describes how to configure the Print Server Card for use with Version 4.x Bindery Services. Use PCONSOLE to set up the print server function.
When you are finished, turn the printer off and on again. The printer creates a status report that indicates the file servers to which the unit is attached and the queues which it services. Before you begin: • Verify that you have supervisor privileges on the file servers on which the Print Server Card print server is to be entered. • Verify that your version of PCONSOLE is later than 1.0. 4.1.1 Start PCONSOLE and Select File Server Follow these steps to start PCONSOLE: 1.
4.1.3 Enter the Print Server Name A print server takes the print jobs from queues and sends them to the printer. Use this procedure to specify the name of the print server: 1. Choose Print Server Information from the Available Options menu, and press the return key. A list of existing print servers is displayed. 2. Press the INSERT key. The New Print Server Name box is displayed. Type the name of the print server into the entry box.
4. Choose the printer and press the return key. The Printer 0 Configuration screen appears with a title of Printer 0. 5. If you choose to, change default in the Name field on this form to something that helps you identify the printer, for example, LASER_PRINTER. The print server uses this name in its message back to the users on the Notify list. Select Name, enter a name, and then press the return key. 6. Select Type and press the return key. A list of printer types is displayed.
4.1.6 Set Up Notify Options for the Printer (Optional) To enable the print server to notify users or user groups if a problem occurs with the printer, set up the Notify options. The print server supports the enhanced NOTIFY options for printers, including informing users when the printer: • Is off-line, jammed, opened, or out of paper • Requires a manual paper feed or a form change • Has had an engine failure 1. Choose Notify List for Printer on the Print Server Configuration menu. 2.
mary file server can be any file server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates the primary file server and the list of file servers to be serviced, the automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to those file servers listed (and to no others). 4.1.8 Primary File Server To use the primary file server option, use the following procedure on a file server close to the printer: 1.
4.2 Configuring NetWare 4.0x Bindery Emulation Novell's NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For NDS, see 4.3 Configuring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Print Server Card may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3 Configuring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services).
Note: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The definition in the file takes effect when the server is shut down and then restarted. 4.2.2 Configure in Bindery Mode with PCONSOLE Once you confirm the server has Bindery Context, use the following procedures to configure the Print Server Card. 1. Log into the network as ADMIN. 2. Type PCONSOLE and press the return key. The following screen appears. Available Options Print Queues Printers Print Drivers Quick Setup Change Context 3.
Note: The print server name is printed under the Novell Network Information on the Status and Configuration report. The factory default name consists of three letter identifier, an Underscore, and the serial number of the unit. 7. Press the ESC key to move to the New printer field. Enter a name and press the return key. 8. Press the ESC key to move to the New print queue field. Enter a name and press the return key. 9. Press the ESC key to move to the Printer type field and press the return key.
4.3 Configuring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services NetWare Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services named Directory objects such as printers, print servers and print queues.
which queues to service, and whom to notify in the event of a problem. See Novell NetWare documentation for more information about the use of PCONSOLE for NDS. 4.3.1 Create Printer Object 1. Click on the NWADMIN icon in the NetWare Tools group in Windows. The NetWare Administrator window will appear. To bring up your Directory Tree, open a Browser window by clicking on the Tools menu item then the Browse item. 2.
4. When the Create Printer window appears, type a value in the Printer Name field and click on the Create button. 4.3.2 Create Print Server Object 1. Again, highlight the Organizational Unit, select the Object item from the menu and choose Create. 2. At the New Object window, scroll down the Class of New Object icon list, select the Print Server icon, and click on the OK button. 3. At the Create Print Server window, type a value in the Print Server Name field and click on the Create button. 4.3.
3. At the Create Print Queue screen, click on the Directory Service Queue button, then type in values for Print Queue Name and Print Queue Volume and click on the Create button. If you don't know the Print Queue Volume name (the hard drive you will be accessing), click on the icon to the right of the volume field. The Select Object window will appear with the volume listed in Objects.
4.3.4 Assign Printer Object 1. Go to the Directory Tree. Double click on the printer object just created and bring up the Printer window. See below. Find the Assignments button on the right-side of the window and click on the Add button. 2.

Click on the OK button and the print queue just created is added to the Print Queues: box in the Printer: window. Click on the OK button again.
4.3.5 Assign Print Server Object 1. At the Directory Tree, double click on the print server object you just created and bring up the Print Server window. 2. At the Print Server: window, click on the Assignments button and Add button to bring up the Select Object window. Select the printer object just created from the Objects: box and click on the OK button. Now the printer (with its context) appears in the Printers: box of the Print Server window. Click on the OK button.
4.3.6 Check Assignments At the Directory Tree, double click on the Print Queue object you just created. At the Print Queue window, click on the Assignments button. If you configured the print queue and printer correctly they will appear in the proper boxes on the Print Queue window. Press the Cancel button.
4.3.7 Set Up and Reset the Printer NWADMIN configuration is complete. Before you can begin printing, though, be sure to set up and reset (power cycle) the printer. 4.4 Print Server Card Configuration The MAP utility or an IP Web Browser must used to define the context and tree of the Print Server. It is also used to change the Print Server name, set a password, modify scan and frame search parameters, and sent in bindery-mode specific values.
6. If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Services, type in a Context entry and Preferred NDS Tree entry in the appropriate fields. Be sure to give the whole context, whether typed or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a trailing period (.). If you don't know your tree, type: whoami at the DOS command line. A typed context name example is: ou=standard.ou=organization_1 7. In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is to service once per second.
4.5 Using the Novell PCONSOLE Utility This section explains how to use the PCONSOLE utility to perform the following tasks: • Attach and select a file server • Select or delete queues for the print server • Set-up the Notify function See the NetWare Print Server Manual for detailed information on this utility. Note: You must have Supervisor privileges to perform many PCONSOLE operations. 4.5.1 Changing the File Server You can specify a file server as the current one.

5 Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing 5.1 Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing Windows Peer-to-Peer printing allows Windows 95/98 workstations and Windows NT 4.0 workstations and servers to print to Print Server Card printers without an intervening server and without using IP. The main features of the Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer printing are as follows: • Runs on Windows-95/98 workstations and on Windows NT 4.0 workstations or servers "out of the box".
On power up, the Print Server Card sniffs the network to see if there is Novell activity. If there is, it will use the same frame type and the local network number that it senses. If, in addition, the NIC can log on to a file server, it will assume that Novell is normally used and will store this frame type and new number in NV RAM so that, when it comes up again, it will not have to spend the time sensing (which can take some time).
5.2 Windows IP Peer-to-Peer Printing For more detailed information on TCP/IP setup and printing, see Chapter 7. Windows IP Peer-to-Peer printing allows Windows 95/98 workstations and Windows NT 4.0 workstations and servers to print to Print Server Card printers without an intervening server and without using IPX. The main features of the Windows IP Peer-toPeer printing are as follows: • Runs on Windows 95/98 workstations and on Windows NT 4.0 workstations or servers "out of the box".
5.2.2 Installation and Operation Install the Windows IP Peer-to-Peer redirector as follows: 1. Put the CD ROM that came with the NIC into your CD drive. 2. From the Windows main window, click on Start. 3. Click on Run. 4. From Run, type :\IP-P2P\SETUP.EXE. 5. Click on OK. 6. At the IP Peer-to-Peer Setup screen, click on Next.
6 AppleTalk Configuration Use this chapter if you will be printing from a Macintosh. This chapter explains how to configure the Print Server Card using AppleTalk and how to use the AppleTalk NIManage utility program. 6.1 Choosing the Printer To choose the printer, use the following procedure: 1. Make sure you have loaded the print driver and file drivers appropriate to your printer. 2. Select the AppleTalk link for AppleTalk by clicking on the Apple icon in the Macintosh menu bar. 3. Select Control Panel.
Note: The screen shown above will not show AppleTalk zones if your network does not have more than one zone. 8. Select the AppleTalk Zone containing the printer from the list at the lower left of the screen. Select the device driver type corresponding to your printer from those indicated at the upper left of the screen. A list of printers will appear in the display panel at the right of the screen. 9.
6.2 Loading the AppleTalk NIManage Utility Program The AppleTalk NIManage utility program has the following functions: • View and modify the names of the printer or printer zone. • Enable or disable the Status/Configuration report. • View the error log. • Enable or disable other protocols and view or modify the TCP/IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address. Use the following procedure to get access to AppleTalk NIManage utility program: 1.
6.3 Configuring the Print Server Card You use the options added to the menu bar to configure the print server. Depending on your printer, certain operations may not be available. These functions will be grayed out and cannot be selected. 6.3.1 Configuration Use the Configuration function to change the names of the device and AppleTalk Zone. These changes are stored only in the print server and are not passed on to the PostScript interpreter.
6.3.2 Error Log The Error Log function is used to view a log of events that the Print Server Card has registered. The log contains information as well as errors. Customer Support may need the information on this screen if your Print Server Card encounters problems. When you choose this function, a screen containing the text of the log is displayed. You can print the error log contents by using the Print option under the File menu.
3. Click on OK when you have finished using this screen. 4. You must power the printer off and on to make the changes take effect. 6.3.4 Options Click on Status Sheets: Enable to send a status report to the printer each time you power it on, or click on Disable to disable this option. Click on OK. The change takes effect the next time you power on the printer.
7 TCP/IP Configuration This chapter explains how to configure the Print Server Card and your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various environments. Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows systems and for most popular UNIX systems. The Print Server Card TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port.
free TCP/ IP provided by Microsoft. There are third party lpr spoolers available. The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP and a shareware lpr application that is available from various sources, including the Print Server Card manufacturer. You will need the files WFWTCP32.zip and WFWTCP32.txt for the TCP/IP, and wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr. You will need the BOOTPL16 program if you wish to use the BOOTP Lite program to set up IP parameters.
After the response, enter: arp -s [IP address of Print Server Card] [MAC Address of Print Server Card]; the entry should be accepted. ping [IP address of Print Server Card]; request should time out. 3. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the Print Server Card reset itself. The Print Server Card will produce a status page that should include the entered IP address. 4.
5. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the Print Server Card, its Subnet Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet), the Default Gateway (your router's IP address), and the MAC address of the Print Server Card (Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as Ethernet Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet rather than the dashes that Windows uses. 6. Click on Go.
3. At the Remote Host Name prompt enter the Print Server Card IP Address. Enter PORT1 for the Remote Printer Name. 4. Go to Control Panel, Printers, and choose Connect. 5. Select your driver and click on Next. At this point, you should see an entry for your Windows lpr Spooler's printer in the "Available ports" listing. For example, C:\SPOOL\PRINTER_NAME. 7.1.2 Microsoft Windows 95/98 Windows 95/98 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client also requires an lpr utility.
7.1.2.3 Assigning IP Address with ARP The Print Server Card must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating. You can use BOOTPL32 to configure the IP address instead of ARP. 1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter: ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server]. The identified unit should reply.
This program uses the BOOTP protocol. The Print Server Card must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating. 1. Reset the printer. Note: The Print Server Card issues the BOOTP request for a finite period of time. The print server must be freshly reset for this program to work. 2. From Program Manager under File, select Run BOOTPL32.exe. 3. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option. 4.
You can also use the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser to set up lpr. The password to change parameters with the HTML pages is the same as the Telnet password. 7.1.2.6 Setting up lpr on the Workstation Once you install the spooler onto the workstation; the setup program will create a group and icon. 1. Double click on the spooler icon. 2. Click on setup, define new queue. 3. At the Remote Host Name prompt enter the Print Server Card's IP Address, and for the Remote Printer Name enter PORT1. 4.
7.1.3.1 Setting Up the Print Server Card The Print Server Card must be given an IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTPL32 program. 1.
7.1.3.3 Assigning IP Address with BOOTPL32 You may provide the IP address and other IP parameters to the printer Print Server Card on 32 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT & Windows 95/98) using the BOOTPL32.exe program. This program uses the BOOTP protocol. The Print Server Card must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating. The NT cannot be operating as an active DHCP Server. 1. Reset the Print Server Card.
1. Telnet to the Print Server Card (the login and password are both "sysadm"). 2. Turn off the protocols that you are not utilizing (option 3). 3. Setup the subnet mask and default gateway for the Print Server Card if applicable (option 1). 4. Exit, Save, and Reset the Print Server Card You can also use the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser to set up lpr. The password to change parameters with the HTML pages is the same as the Telnet password. 7.1.3.
7.2 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP is a service much like BootP that provides a method for assignment and maintenance of IP addresses. The Print Server Card is able to obtain IP information from this service. There are two user settable variables related to the DHCP function. These are accessible in the TCP section of Network Administration, in the HTML pages. • DHCP enable • Use IP info in NVRAM a. If DHCP is not enabled, the Print Server Card will make no DHCP requests under any circumstances.
7.3 IP Discovery and Peer to Peer Printing This section explains how to setup and use the following two IP functions: • IP Printer Discovery, which allows you to find print servers on your network. • IP Peer-to-Peer Printing, which allows you to set up your print server ports for peer to peer printing for IP on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98. Note: All features of IP Discovery are now included as part of MAP versions 3.02 and higher. 7.3.1 How to Install Place the CD ROM into the CD ROM drive.
Once you click on the URL of the unit you want to configure, the program automatically enters Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or your default browser to access the unit’s HTTP Server. Once the HTTP Server home page appears, you can configure or reconfigure your unit. 7.3.4 IP Peer-to-Peer Setup IP Peer-to-Peer printing allows you to print to a network printer for networks without a file server or for networks where you do not want to use the server for printing.
7.3.5 Add Printers for IP Peer To Peer Printing You can add printers manually whenever you cannot find printers automatically because of router setup or hop count setting. In general, this should not be necessary. Step 1: Use IP-P2P to Add Printers 1. Click on the IP-P2P menu item in Windows. The IP Peer-to-Peer Setup screen appears. 2. Press the Printers... button; a new form screen appears. 3. Enter information for the printer in all the fields described below.
7.4 FTP Printing 7.4.1 FTP Printing Using Netscape Connect to the port you wish to send the print job to on your print server. For example, to print your print server from Netscape (must be Netscape 2.0 or greater), do the following: 1. Type: ftp://port1@ 2. Select File. 3. Select Upload File. Note: FTP printing does not support selecting multiple file names. The selected file is now sent to the printer. 7.4.
7.5 UNIX Printing The Print Server Card can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes: • Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the Print Server Card via a TCP/IP port, or, • Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon. In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems, requiring an entry in the printcap file once the Print Server Card has its IP information.
Between the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabilities, the Print Server Card works with: • All UNIX systems that support lpd/lpr • System V Rel. 4 (on 386 platforms) • DEC ULTRIX RISC Versions 4.3 and 4.4 • DEC OSF/1 Versions 2.0 and 3.0 • Solaris: Version 1.1.3 (SunOS 4.1.3), Version 2.3 (SunOS 5.3), Version 2.4, and Version 2.5 • HP-UX Series 700 and 800 Version 9.01 and Version 10.0 • IBM AIX Version 3.2.5 • SCO UNIX Version 3.
You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its factory default state (no IP information entered.) After the Print Server has an IP address, you must use the Telnet utility, the AppleTalk NIManage utility for the Macintosh, or the Print Server Card HTML management pages accessed through the MAP utility or a Web Browser to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. 7.5.1.
For example, for an RFC 1048 system: printfast:\ :ht = ether:\ :ha = 0040AF03AF6E:\ :ip = 192.9.200.200:\ :sm = 255.0.0.0:\ :gw = 192.9.200.10:\ If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add: :vm = rfc1048: Note: The :ht = ether command should be used even if working with a Token Ring NIC card. The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 system: host printfast htype 1 haddr 00:40:af:03:af:6e iaddr 192.9.200.200 bootfile defaultboot 7.
7.5.1.2 Using rarp The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. For this procedure, there needs to be a workstation with a rarp server. To store the IP address, use the following procedure: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server.
10. Remove, or comment out, your changes to the /etc/ethers file. 11. Stop the rarp daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it. 7.5.1.3 Using ping Use the following procedure to enter the IP Address: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server.
9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command. Specify the Print Server either by its IP address or by its name. For example: arp -d printfast 7.5.2 lpd/lpr Printing lpd/lpr is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation with all filtering and banners done by Print Server Card. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.
1. Open the /etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the Print Server Card as the remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name.
6. When a window appears, change the values shown to configure the Print Server Card. The values displayed are default values. You must replace the short and long form filter values with the values shown below.
7.5.2.4 Setting Up an HP/UX Remote Printer to Use lpd Set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to a Print Server Card using the Print Server Card lpd. To do this: 1. At the prompt, type: sam 2. When a window appears, select Printer/Plotter Manager. 3. When the menu appears, select List printer and plotters. 4. When a list appears, select Actions in the title bar. 5. From the pull-down menu, select Add Remote Printer. 6. When a window appears, add values to configure Print Server Card.
5. Destination type must be OTHER. 6. When prompted for transforming SCS to ASCII, type YES to allow the AS/400 do the character translation. 7. Manufacturer type and model must be the print driver that goes with your printer. 7.5.2.6 Setting Up a DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC or OSF1/ALPHA Remote Printer Set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to a Print Server Card. 1. At the prompt, type: lprsetup 2. Select add. 3. Enter a name for your printer and press [Enter]. 4.
12. Add comments to the printcap file. For example, you can type: Dick's printer down the hall [Enter] 13. Select exit to save your configuration and press [Enter]. You are now prepared to print. 7.5.2.7 Setting Up a SCO UNIX Remote Printer to Use lpd/lpr Set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to a Print Server Card using lpd. Use the following procedures to do this: 1. At the prompt, type: mkdev rlp Note: You cannot run mkdev rlp twice.
11. Using a line editor of your choice, edit the /etc/printcap file by changing the :rp= entry to PORT1. For example, printer1:\ :lp=:\ (used to specify the device name for a local printer; this field must be empty) :rm=lprprinter:\ (remote machine name or network name of the print server) :rp=PORT1:\ (remote printer name or the name of the print server) :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer1: (name of the spool directory on the client) 7.5.2.8 Setting Up System V Release 4 and Solaris 2.
7.5.3 Installing TCP/IP for Print Server Card If Not Running lpd/lpr The TCP/IP directory provided with the Print Server Card includes install scripts for various UNIX systems. This section describes how to install TCP/IP printing to the Print Server Card on any of the following operating systems: • DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC • System V Rel. 4 • Solaris (Ver. 1.x, 2.
UNIX Version BSD/ULTRIX/AIX/ SCO System V System V/Solaris 2.3 Example tar -xvf/dev/rfd0 tar -xvf/dev/rdsk/f13ht tar -xvf/dev/rdiskette Note: The device name varies depending on the computer and its peripheral designations. The first BSD floppy device is often called rfd0. 5. After performing the tar, the system will display a list of Print Server Card files copied by the tar. At this point, go to the specific section for your system for instructions on running the installation script. 7.5.3.
7.5.3.4 Installing and Printing on Ver. 1 Solaris and OSF1 Systems 1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst. The script automatically downloads the correct Print Server Card utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed. 2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit? Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example: printfast and press [Enter]. 3. What is the printer name? Type the desired printer name and press [Enter]. 4.
7. The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the daemon for the newly configured printer. It also displays the path used if you ever need to restart the daemon. For example: /usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/ printfast 10001 & 8. Run the ps command so that you can view all your lpd/lpr processes. Type: ps -ax | grep lpd 9. Kill all of your lpd/lpr processes. Type: kill -9 (this will stop ALL printing). 10. Restart the daemon. Type: /usr/lib/lpd 11.
6. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured. The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap file. See below for a sample printcap file. Type yes or no and press [Enter]. If you type no, you may perform manual edits. | Print Server Card printer:\ :lp=/dev/:\ :if=/usr/nic/infilter:\ :sd=/usr/spool/: 7. Installation for the system is done.
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 & This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier. When the installation script is complete, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. The HP/UX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a printer (there is not a /etc/printcap file).
Once the operating system has been identified, the script downloads the files for your particular system, to the /usr/nic directory, and prompts you for information as needed. 3. Type cd /usr/spool/lp/model/standard/usr/nic/port1_interface Note: Use of this default interface in most cases will suffice for generic or routine printing of most PostScript, PCL, and ASCII files.
8. Type the following commands: accept and press [Enter]. enable and press [Enter]. Note: After each entry, lpadmin should provide an acknowledgment of the command invoked. 9. Type the command: lp -d /etc/hosts, and press [Enter]. 10. Check for output, or type the following: lpstat or -t. 7.5.3.8 Installing & Printing on a SCO UNIX System Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems.
5. Your screen will now display the information you provided the install script. For example: Node name of the Print Server Card: printfast Printer name to be used: The printer is attached on: PORT 1 Do you want to accept this configuration? Type yes or no and press [Enter]. 6. Is this printer PostScript? Type yes or no and press [Enter]. 7. The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured printer. It also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon.
command to define new filters and content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now apparent. Your printing across the network is completely transparent. 7.5.3.9 Installing and Printing on an AIX RISC System/6000 The AIX printing subsystem is driven by the qdaemon program. The qdaemon uses configuration information stored in the /usr/lpd/qconfig file to manage queues and route jobs to the proper devices.
5. Configure a virtual printer using printer_name as the physical device, where printer_name is the same printer name chosen during install. 6. Shut down the qdaemon using the command stopsrc -s qdaemon 7. Edit /usr/lpd/qconfig to change the special file for device printer_name from /dev/ printer_name to /dev/nic/printer_name. 8.
7.5.3.9.2 AIX Print Commands The AIX lp command works slightly differently than the lp command for other System V Release 4 systems. The following lp commands can be used to print files: lp -d or lp -d : 7.6 Running Telnet The Telnet utility uses the standard remote terminal protocol to configure the IP address, lpd/lpr printers, and other parameters on your system. Use the following guidelines to run Telnet.
3. The main menu is displayed. This utility lets you change the IP Parameters, lpd/ lpr printers, protocols, restore to factory defaults, and change password. Press the number for the parameter you wish to check or change and press Enter. The Configuration Utility Unit Serial no. 221963 V4.10 Main Menu 1. IP Parameters 2. LPD Printers 3. Protocols 4. Restore Factory Defaults 5. Change Password E. Exit 4. To end your Telnet session, type E at the Main Menu.
2. Type 1 again and press [Enter]. The IP Address submenu will appear: The Configuration Utility Unit Serial no. 221963 1. IP Address 199.92.187.37 2. Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 3. Default Gateway 199.92.187.254 4. Base Port Number 10000 3. Enter a new IP Address and press Enter. Repeat the previous steps to change Subnet Mask and Default Gateways. 4. Enter 4 to change the base port number. Note: The base port number is one less than the actual TCP/IP port number used by the printer.
1. To access the LPD Printers menu, type 2 and press Enter. For a unit at factory default, the menu shown below will appear. LPD Printers 1. Printer 1 2. Banners PCL PS OTHER DISABLED 2. To change the set of emulations, type 1 and press Enter. The options shown below will appear. Printer 1 1. PCL 2. PS 3. ASCII 4. OTHER PCL PS OTHER 3. To delete an emulation, select the number opposite the language listed. For example, type 1 and press Enter to delete PCL. Typing 1 again will again select PCL. 4.
7.6.6 Change Password When you want to establish a new password, enter 5 from the Main menu. Type up to eight characters after the New Password query and press Enter. Retype the same characters at the Retype New Password query and press Enter. Use the Save Changes and Exit option. Once you have established your password using Change Password, the password sysadm will be rejected. Note: There is a single maintenance access password to the Print Server Card.

8 Operation and Troubleshooting This chapter describes normal operation of the Print Server Card in the printer, and also provides information on how to troubleshoot any problems you might have with the Print Server Card. 8.1 LED Status Indicator The Print Server Card has two LED status indicators: amber and green. The amber LED generally indicates job activity; it flashes when a print job is being communicated to the Print Server Card; it is off when no activity is occurring.
LED Patterns And the printer is... THEN THE NIC... Green LED is ON solid. First powered on. Awaiting print jobs. Finished with self-tests. Is performing self-tests. Normal Is functioning properly. Normal Prints out status report Normal Performing self-tests. Detects bad RAM chip. Error Performing self-tests. Failed the Ethernet hardware self-test. Check the network. Did not pass the checksum test. Unit automatically goes into download mode and awaits flash update.
8.2 Status Report The Status/Configuration report is sent as a print job to the printer when the print server is powered on. For example, the report on the next page shows the configuration of the print server immediately before the report is printed. Some printers also allow you to use a command from the front panel that will produce a status report. It is strongly recommended that you review this report immediately after installation and any time the setup has been changed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------Unit Serial No: 990007 Version: 04.23 Network Address: 00:40:af:78:d9:b8 Network Topology:Ethernet Connector: 10 Base T Network Speed: 10 Mega Bits Novell Network Information enabled Print Server Name: OTS_260121 Password Defined: no Preferred File Server not defined Directory Services Context not defined Frame Type: Novell 802.3 Peer-to-Peer Information enabled Frame Type: Novell 802.
8.3 Resetting the Print Server to Factory Default You can cause the Print Server Card to restore all parameters to factory default values, so the Print Server Card appears just as it came from the factory. You may choose to do this when the Print Server Card is moved to a new location where the environment (AppleTalk network zones, NetWare file servers, IP subnets, and so on) is different. This process is called "Reset to Factory".
8.4 How to Diagnose Problems Use the following list to determine the cause of printing problems: 1. Verify that the printer is functioning properly. • Is the printer printing? Make sure the printer is operating properly by causing it to generate a test page. See your printer's owner's manual for instructions on generating a test page. • Is the printer on-line? Verify that the printer is on-line or else nothing will print.
8.5 Troubleshooting Checklists Use the checklists in this section to identify and solve problems. 8.5.1 Troubleshooting Network Hardware Connections Be sure that the Print Server Card has properly selected the connector type that you are using. The connector type is listed on the status/configuration report: 100BaseT, 10BaseT or Thinnet. • For Thinnet, check that network connector is plugged into the BNC connector on the Print Server Card.
8.5.2.2 File Server Checklist • Is there enough disk space on the file server and is it running? • Is the correct file server associated with the printer? Use PCONSOLE to check this. • Did you have the proper rights to configure the printer? • Are the File Server and the Print Server communicating? Run NetWare's COMCHECK utility from any network workstation to check this. • Are there enough user positions on the File Server? The Print Server function logs on as a user. 8.5.2.
changed the name in MAP, you must also change the name in PCONSOLE before you can print. • Use PCONSOLE to check the Printer Status. Make sure it is not stopped or paused. • You cannot use PCONSOLE Version 1.0 to configure the network interface card. Contact Novell for an upgrade. 8.5.2.5 Printer Server/File Server/Printer Checklist Check the following to see if: • The Print Server Card can log into the file server, and can service jobs from a File Server.
8.5.2.8 Unable to Print from a Different Context The Print Server Card does not support printing from a context different from the context you are installed upon. If you want to do this, you must create an alias queue. See your NetWare Manual for more information. 8.5.3 Troubleshooting AppleTalk Protocol • Is the Macintosh computer connected to the network through Ethernet, and, has the Macintosh AppleTalk driver been selected? Go to the Control Panel, then go to Networks to check.
Appendix A Jumper Settings The Print Server Card will normally automatically configure the network configuration without the need to access internal jumpers. However, there are certain jumpers on the board that you may have to access under certain circumstances. If you need to change the jumpers, follow the steps in this section.
A.1 Print Server Card and Jumper Locations Ethernet Print Server Cards The illustration below shows the location of each of the jumpers on the 100BaseT/ 10BaseT Print Server Card with an RJ45 connector only. The illustration below shows the location of each of the jumpers on the small board Print Server Card with both an RJ45 connector and a BNC connector for 10Base2 operation.
Token Ring Print Server Cards AUTO JP3 JP4 16MB The illustration below shows the location of the jumpers on the Token Ring Print Server Card with both an RJ45 (UTP) and an STP connector. OP2 OP3 OP4 OP5 TEST S.R. 4MB OP1 OP6 CUST MAN A.2 Reset to Factory The Print Server Card may be restored to factory default conditions by jumper (OP2). The function of OP2 is to reconfigure NVRAM. Do this when a unit is moved from one site to another and should be restored to as-new condition.
A.4 Ethernet-Specific Jumpers (10BaseT/10Base2 only) On a Print Server Card with both 10BaseT and 10Base2 capability there are two jumpers that affect Ethernet operations: Automatic/Manual (JP3) and Manual Selection (JP4). Automatic/Manual The Automatic/Manual jumper (JP3) causes the Print Server Card to select Ethernet network type automatically when in the AUTO position. In the MA position, the selection is covered by the Manual Selection jumper.
Appendix B Specifications B.1 Print Server Card The following table provide general specifications for the Print Server Card. Print Server Card General Specifications (Small Board) Size: Weight: Environment: Controls and Indicators: Configuration: Connectors: Token Ring Speeds: 123.
B.2 10/100BaseT and Token Ring UTP Cables Use the following universal Ethernet standard when configuring your 10/100BaseT/ UTP cables to connect to the RJ45 connector on the Print Server Card. The cable should be Category/Type 3 or better (depending on length).
B.3 Token Ring STP Cables Use the following table when configuring your Token Ring STP cable to connect to the STP connector on the Print Server Card.
