CONFIGURING THE M204 FOR NOVELL
Overview
This chapter introduces the M204’s configuration possibilities along with the various
methods of printing available within a Novell environment. The M204 works with dif-
ferent NetWare versions, including version 4, and we provide setup steps for each.
Host Software
NetWare’s PCONSOLE is generally used to change passwords, add print servers, add
remote printers, and add queues to be serviced. It can be used for both a PSERVER or
RPRINTER setup. To install a M204 in a Novell environment, PCONSOLE is used
for the entire installation. The following pages give step-by-step examples of install-
ing the M204 in various Novell environments.
Even though the entire print set-up is done through PCONSOLE, you may want to
communicate directly with the print server in order to modify settings, monitor the
unit, etc. To communicate with the print server, the optional host software, npsh.exe is
included. npsh.exe is a DOS executable program that can be run from a DOS prompt
on a NetWare workstation.
npsh.exe, does these things:
npsh nvplist
Lists all of the M204’s on the network; each name is
in the format M_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx equals the
last six digits of the unit’s Ethernet address) by
default regardless of whether it is configured as a
PSERVER or an RPRINTER. This name is config-
urable.
npsh
unitname
Starts a Telnet-like session with the named Print
Server allowing you to configure, monitor, and trou-
bleshoot the unit with its built-in command set.
npsh
unitname command
Initiates a single command with guest access only to
the unit instead of entering into a complete session.
