CHAPTER 9
BANYAN VINES NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Brother print servers allow printers to be shared on a Banyan VINES
network. Users on client PCs send their jobs to any VINES file server
running the Banyan PCPrint software, which in turn spools the jobs to the
print server. Printing is transparent to user applications, and the print server
can be managed using standard VINES utilities like MANAGE,
MSERVICE, MUSER and the Operator Console printer control. In
addition, VINES users can print concurrently with all network users.
Necessary items to use an Brother print server on a
VINES network
•
Banyan's PCPrint software (a Banyan-supplied software option that is
installed on the VINES file server).
•
Brother BRAdmin software (on the Print Server Configuration Utility
diskette), or through TELNET, HTTP, DEC NCP or NCL, or Brother
BRCONFIG NetWare utilities (
refer to Appendix A for information on
A. File Server User Console
The first step in the configuration process is to configure the file server so
that the Brother print server can log into the Banyan VINES network. To
do this, you will need to configure a StreetTalk user name for the print
server (all VINES print servers log into the file server as users).
1. From any VINES workstation log in as a supervisor and execute the
MANAGE program by typing
MANAGE
at the DOS prompt.
2. At the main menu, select 2 - Users and press ENTER.
3. You will get the Manage Users screen. Select ADD a user to get the
Add A User screen. Type in a StreetTalk name for the desired print
server service. You may optionally type in a description, nickname, and
a password. Press the F10 key when you are finished.
