Supporting DocuPrint NPS on the file server
There are a number of tasks you perform on the file server to support
the DocuPrint NPS as either a print server or a remote printer:
•
With DocuPrint NPS as a PSERVER you must allow
unencrypted password login on the file server. Enter the
following command at the file server console prompt and in the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
set allow unencrypted passwords=on
Note:
Set this command even if you do not establish a print
server password. Novell clients that use encrypted passwords
are unaffected by this change and will continue to use encrypted
passwords.
•
Do not configure the file server to support IPX checksums or
NCP packet signatures. Set these options to equal 0 or 1 so
that the server performs these options only when the client
requests them. The default value is 1.
•
Do not set the watchdog interval to less than one minute.
Longer intervals may cause the DocuPrint NPS to be logged
out.
•
If the print queue contains 250 jobs on a regular basis, set the
Maximum File Locks Per Connection to a value greater than
250. The default value is 250.
•
Define forms using PRINTDEF with names matching virtual
printer names. (Applies only if DocuPrint NPS is configured as
an RPRINTER.)
Note:
DocuPrint NPS supports native connection to Novell 3.12 file
servers. However, to run DocuPrint NPS with Novell 4.X servers, the
Novell server must be configured to Bindery Emulation.
