Novell Host Configuration
146
NetWare Version 3.x RPRINTER Setup
These steps are for Novell environments with Netware 3.x (or
earlier) file servers.
To configure a new RPRINTER on a NetWare 3.x network:
1. Log in to the NIC command shell, npsh, as root.
If you have TCP/IP available and this print server already has
an IP address stored within it, you can use the built-in HTML
configuration forms or a Telnet session. Please see
“Configuration Tools” on page 26 for further details. If you have
only Novell available, you will need to use a PC, laptop, or
terminal.
NOTE: If you use HTML configuration, you will need to go to the
“Network Configuration” HTML form
(i.e., http://IPaddress/networkConf.html;
e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html)
and look under the “Novell” section. The settings in the
following step are found there. If using a Telnet session,
you will need to manually execute the commands listed in
the next step.
2. Store the RPRINTER settings on the NIC. This will refer to an
existing PSERVER.NLM on the file server or to one that you
will create later in these steps.
Syntax:
store rprinter add PSERVERname printernumber
NICdestination
An example for an RPRINTER servicing printer 0 of the
PSERVER.NLM called pserver1 and sending jobs to the
NIC destination d1prn is:
store rprinter add pserver1 0 d1prn
3. Leave this NIC login session and log on to the NetWare 3.x file
server as “Supervisor.”
4. Load a PSERVER.NLM if one is not already loaded. This will
be the PSERVER that the NIC services as an RPRINTER, so it
must match the PSERVER name given in step 2.
