IBM Network Printer
Manager
Overview
SMART
IBM Network Printer Manager (NPM) lets network administrators
monitor, control, and configure IBM 4400 printers in various
environments. NPM works with the IBM 4400, the network printer
family, including IBM Infoprint 20 and 32 (except for NPM for OS/2),
and IBM Network Printers 12, 17, and 24. For the Windows and IP
and Web versions, you can also use NPM with other
manufacturer’s network printers that comply with RFC 1759, such
as the Hewlett-Packard** LaserJet** 5si and the Lexmark**
Optra** N.
NOTE: IBM 4400 is supported only in the “web” and NT versions,
not OS/2.
Using NPM, administrators can:
•
View the status of each printer, such as its alarm conditions
•
View and change printer properties, such as the default input
tray
•
View and change printer network properties, such as the
NetBIOS printer network workgroup name
•
Add new network services to printers so you can customize the
environment, such as creating high- and low-priority print
services.
NOTE: NPM requires the additional capabilities provided by the
Smart Ethernet Interface.
