NetWare Version 4. x and 5.x RPRINTER Setup
NIC can be configured to service both RPRINTER, NDS mode, and
PSERVER, bindery mode.
Use the following procedure to set up an RPRINTER form of
attachment on a 4.
x or 5 .x server:
1. NIC requires a bindery server login on the 4. x or 5 .x as the first
step to servicing RPRINTER. This bindery login is necessary
for registering the NIC Pserver name; no bindery queues or
printers are set up. Using PCONSOLE, bindery mode, create a
bindery printer server object whose name matches that of the
NIC at the root context of the 4.
x or 5 .x box (e.g., M_03092B).
After creating the bindery PrintServer on the 4. x or 5 .x server,
reboot NIC and use the
debug Novell pserver
command via
a Telnet or npsh session, or print out the E-NET Test Page to
make sure there is a successful server login.
2. Using either PCONSOLE in NDS mode or NWADMIN:
a. Create an NDS queue (any name you want), or simply use
an existing one
b. Create a print server to use (any valid name, or choose one
already in existence)
c. Create a printer object to use with the print server object
you chose or created, and attach it to the chosen queue
NOTE: The 4. x or 5 .x queue name, print server name, and printer
object do not have to match any NIC name; multiple
printers can be defined, but only one print server can be
attached to.
Example:
NDS queue name: Finance
NDS print server name: Fin_Q
NDS printer name: Fin_Prt_1
NDS printer name: Accounting_Prt_1
