Chapter 4 Setting Up – NetWare
Setup using NDPS
The EasyLAN 100i supports Novell Distributed Print Services
(NDPS), which is Novell’s new generation architecture for printing
and printer administration.
Before the EasyLAN 100i can be installed, you must install NDPS
and an HP Gateway on your NetWare file server. The HP Gateway
is included with the NDPS software and is automatically installed
together with NDPS. The EasyLAN 100i uses the HP Gateway when
communicating with an NDPS printer.
Please refer to the appropriate Novell and Hewlett Packard docu-
mentation for further details about NDPS and the HP Gateway.
Installing the EasyLAN 100i
You can select to install the connected printers as public or con-
trolled printers. Follow the instructions below to install the EasyLAN
100i using NDPS:
Public Access
1. Make sure that the HP Gateway is configured to automatically
create a public access printer, before you connect the EasyLAN
100i to the network.
2. Connect the EasyLAN 100i to the NetWare network.
As soon as the HP Gateway finds the EasyLAN 100i, it will auto-
matically create a public access printer. All users have access to the
public access printer, which is found with the Novell Printer Man-
ager.
Controlled Access
1. Make sure that the HP Gateway is not configured to automati-
cally create a public access printer, before you connect the
EasyLAN 100i to the network.
2. Connect the EasyLAN 100i to the NetWare network.
3. Use the NetWare Administrator to create an NDPS printer as an
object in the directory. As directory objects, access to them is
controlled and they are no longer available as public access print-
ers.
The controlled access printer is found in the Novell Printer Manager’s
NDS object list.
Notes:
- NDPS requires that you run
NetWare 4.11 or higher.
- NDPS is supported by Win-
dows 95, Windows 98 and
Windows 3.1 clients.
- You can disable the NDPS
feature by setting HP_JET-
ADMIN in the EasyLAN 100i
parameter list to NO.
