rprinter is also known as nprinter.
Before beginning rprinter configuration, you will need to know the name of the printserver process you will
be starting on the file server, and the name of the print service on the Server.

From the Server local prompt, enter the Set/Define Protocols NetWare Printserver command,

started (under step 11 on page 8-14).
