Print Server User’s Guide 20 Printing To print a job to the Print Server SCxxxxxx, you can use NetWare’s standard utilities: CAPTURE , NPRINT , or PCONSOLE . If you are not familiar with the CAPTURE or NPRINT utilities, the on-line help is available by typing /? after the command.
Novell NetWare 21 Configuration Settings This section describes the configuration settings which can be altered in your Print Server. To make changes, use PSCONFIG or the programs described in Chapter 8 - Management Tools . Configuration using PSCONFIG To use PSCONFIG to change the device settings, the procedure is as follows.
Print Server User’s Guide 22 NetWare - Specific Settings Novell Remote Printer Mode Device Name Enter either the default name SCxxxxxx or the new name of the Print Server. Novell Printer Server for P1, P2, P3 & SP Enter the name of the NetWare print server to service the Print Server’s P1, P2, P3 and SP ports.
Novell NetWare 23 Service Additional NetWare Bindery file servers If your Print Server is configured as a NetWare Print Server and you want it to service more than one bindery file server, perform the following steps. 1. Login, with supervisory rights, to the other file servers you want your Print Server to service.
Print Server User’s Guide 24 Logical Printers Logical Printers can be used to create a “Virtual” printer. For example, to create a Landscape printer, you could define a Logical Printer as follow.
25 Chapter 5 TCP/IP This Chapter explains how to configure and use the Print Server in the TCP/IP environment. Software Requirements The Print Server can work with most UNIX systems and Windows NT 3.5 or later. Software required is: • TCP, IP, telnet, ftp (option - BOOTP, rarp) • Either LPD (NT, Unix) or C Compiler (for PSfilter under Unix).
Print Server User’s Guide 26 Device IP Address Normally, the Print Server is assigned a static IP Address, using either BiAdmin or WebAdmin. To assign an IP address using FTP, some host configuration is necessary to allow connection to a device without an IP Address.
TCP/IP 27 Logical Printer Setup Physical Port (0100 L1_PROUT) Print Server Port to which the printer is attached (P1 to P3 for parallel ports and SP for the serial port). String Before Job (0101 L1_PREST) The printer control string (in hex) to be sent to the printer before each print job.
Print Server User’s Guide 28 Unix Host Configuration The first step is to give the Print Server an IP Address so that it will be a valid device on the LAN. Static IP Address Configuration 1. Determine the Physical Address of the Print Server from the default name shown on a sticker on the base of the unit.
TCP/IP 29 Dynamic IP Address Configuration If the device’s IP Address is left at 0.0.0.0 it will try to obtain a dynamic IP Address by using the following methods in sequence: DHCP, BOOTP, RARP. Using DHCP Using DHCP is only possible if you have DHCP management software which allows you to take advantage of this feature.
Print Server User’s Guide 30 Printing Configuration There are 4 printing methods to choose from. All are explained in the following section. Select whichever is the most convenient in your environment. ♦ LPD LPD is a standard print method for most UNIX systems.
TCP/IP 31 LPD Configuration LPD is a built-in printing protocol for most UNIX systems including BSD type UNIX. It is also supported in Windows NT 3.5 or later. LPD on IBM AIX 4.15 Before proceeding, ensure that the Print Server has been assigned an IP Address.
Print Server User’s Guide 32 LPD on System V Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Print Server. Keep the following points in mind: • The remote host name is the name of the Print Server. • The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer.
TCP/IP 33 Where printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer PS_NAME is the Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Print Server (L1..L3 or L1..L8, depending on your model) Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6.
Print Server User’s Guide 34 Printing using LPD For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. The following example is for a BSD system: lpr -P printer_name filename Where printer_name is the name of the Print Queue defined on the Unix host.
TCP/IP 35 Printing Using PSfilter PSfilter is a proprietary printing system which provides many print options. To use PSfilter, a C compiler and Socket Library must exist on the host so that psfilter.c can be compiled to an executable file. PSfilter Setup The PSfilter program is shipped in source code as psfilter.
Print Server User’s Guide 36 Windows NT Host Configuration This section covers configuration of a Windows NT host. The Print Server should be configured first. For Windows NT configuration in a Peer-to-Peer environment, see Chapter 7 - Windows Peer-to-Peer.
TCP/IP 37 Windows NT 4.0 1. Go to Start è Settings è Control Panel è Network. 2. Click the Service option and ensure that Simple TCP/IP Service and Microsoft TCP/IP Printing are enabled. If they are not enabled, select the Add option and enable them as usual.
Print Server User’s Guide 38 Windows NT 4.0 1. Go to Start è Settings è Printer and invoke the Add Printer wizard. 2. When prompted with This printer will be managed by , select My Computer and click Next. 3. Select Add Port… , then select LPR Port and click New Port .
39 Chapter 6 TCP/IP Features This Chapter describes some features of the Print Server which are available only in the TCP/IP environment. The features covered in this chapter are: • FTP • Internet.
Print Server User’s Guide 40 Commands Only the following commands are implemented. Commands are usually case sensitive. Where the command requires a parameter, the parameter is shown in italics . dir List files (as shown in the previous table). get FILENAME Retrieve a file.
TCP/IP Features 41 Example - Initial Configuration 1. Connect to the Print Server. ftp NAME You can only connect using a name instead of an IP Address if your system has been configured as described on page 26 . 2. You will be prompted for User . Enter the default name (on the base of the device).
Print Server User’s Guide 42 Internet Printing Internet Printing is available only on model EP3003 CheetahPrint Power-3003. The Internet Printing System allows users to print data to your printer across the Internet. Users send the Internet Print Server an E Mail, with the print job normally sent as an attachment to the E Mail.
TCP/IP Features 43 Internet Mail Printing Configuration The BiAdmin program (see Chapter 8 - Management Tools ) can be used to set the following entries on the TCP/IP screen. FTP can also be used; the number in brackets shows the line number in the Print Server’s CONFIG file.
Print Server User’s Guide 44 Installation 1. Run the InterNet Printing Port installation program SETUP.EXE 2. Default values for the installation are: Directory C:Program FilesInternet_Printer Start Menu folder InterNet Printing Port Driver 3. You will then see the Configure Port screen, as shown in the following screenshot.
TCP/IP Features 45 Your Internet E-mail Address The normal address that people use to send you E- mail. Retry Interval (Seconds) If unable to connect to the E Mail server, retry after this time period (1 to 255 seconds, 30 is usually OK). Reply Notification Mail Check to receive an E Mail when your print job has been processed.
Print Server User’s Guide 46 1. Connect your default printer to the InterNet Printing Port. 2. Check that “Reply Notification Mail” in the InterNet Printing Port is ON. 3. From Notepad or another text editor, print a short message (e.g. “This is a test print”) to the Internet Printer.
TCP/IP Features 47 SNMP Management SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is available only on model EP3003 CheetahPrint Power-3003. The EP3003 CheetahPrint Power-3003’s SNMP support allows network supervisors to monitor and control the Print Server using network management platforms such as HP OpenView, IBM SystemView, etc.
Print Server User’s Guide 48 Management Station Settings For each Management Station, the following fields are available. Access Permission (6012 M1_ACCP) 6022 M2, 6032 M3, 6042 M4 Options are: Read Only Read/Write Not Accessible. Community String (6013 M1_CSR) 6023 M2, 6033 M3, 6043 M4 Leaving this blank will disable management by this station.
TCP/IP Features 49 Telnet Telnet can be used to monitor the status of the printers attached to the Print Server. Operation Establish a connection to the Print Server, by starting your Telnet program and providing the IP Address of the Print Server. (No port number is required.
