2.4 Network Printing Architecture

This section illustrates how the print server functions and operates on the network.
Before you install and use the print server, read this section completely, and select
only the chapters you need according to your network operating system.

Here, we describe the role every component (print server, client user, and network
server [optional]) plays in the network printing environment. See Figure 2-1. In
this diagram, each of the components is highlighted in gray.

Because the print server supports IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and NetBEUI network
protocols, any networked computer can directly print from any of its installed
protocols. See Figure 2-3. The printing path is highlighted in gray.

Figure 2-3. The print server supports four protocols

(The AppleTalk protocol is not shown in the diagram above).

The other two network components are the client user and the network server.
The client user (highlighted in gray in Figure 2-4) is described in Section 2.4.2.

ETWORKPRINTINGFUNCTIONS FORCLIENTS

Another network component is the client user, shown highlighted in gray in Figure
2-4.

Figure 2-4. The client user (your PC) prints

to the LAN printer via the print server.

Common operating systems for clients are classified as follows:

• Windows 95/98/Me/XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT:

The print server provides PTPP (peer-to-peer printing) drivers and utilities for
Windows 95/98/Me/XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT users. PTPP
supports IPX, TCP/IP, and NetBEUI protocols. While printing after
installation, PTPP will automatically select the proper transport protocol to
connect to the print server depending on the protocols installed in each
computer (the client computer may only have one of the three protocols
installed). See Figure 2-5. The application-to-protocol paths are highlighted in
gray.

Figure 2-5. Choose IPX, NetBEUI, or TCP/IP to transport data

from your PC to the LAN printer via the print server.

In the client installation procedure, after PTPP is installed in Windows, the system
will automatically search through all the print servers on the network (manual
configuration is also allowed), then add their printing ports into the Windows
printing port. (See Figure 2-6.)

ETWORKPRINTINGFUNCTIONS FOR THENETWORKSERVER

A LAN can have more than one network server installed. For example, if you need
to connect to your company’s Accounting server and the Human Resources server,
you can connect via your PC and a single LAN. Figure 2-7 shows two network
servers, NetWare and Windows NT. Both servers are highlighted in gray.

Figure 2-7. Common network servers.

The Windows NT print server system provides the PTPP driver and utilities for
Windows NT. After PTPP is installed, the server can directly connect to the print
server. Adding this printing function to the Windows NT server lets you use print
queue, user authority management, and many other advanced features.

In a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x environment, the print server offers various printing
modes such as print queue and remote printer.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction

2.5 Network Printing Environment

Three common network environments are described below.

• Windows peer-to-peer network:

Since both the print server and client’s PTPP driver fully support IPX, TCP/IP,
and NetBEUI protocols, when printing, the PTPP driver will automatically
search and match up the protocol for both client and print server’s sides
(shown in Figure 2-8). PTPP is shown in gray.

Figure 2-8. Connect different client and print server protocols

(TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBEUI) together via PTPP.

• Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP network:

The network printing function will become available after the PTPP driver is
installed into Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. Adding this
printing function to the Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP server
lets you use print queue, user authority management, and many other
advanced features. See Figure 2-9.

3. Hardware Installation

1. Unpack the print server package and verify that all the items listed in
Section 2.2 are included.

CAUTION

To prevent a compatibility problem between the print server and the
printer, power on the print server before the printer.

2. Using standard USB or parallel cable, connect the print server to the printer
you want to share on the network.

3. Connect the included power adapter to the print server.

4. The print server will perform the power-on-self-test (POST) after it’s powered
on. During the POST, the Power LED will flash. When the Power LED stops
flashing and stays steadily lit, the print server is ready.

CAUTION

Your equipment might be damaged if you do not use the power adapter
shipped with the print server. Do not use any other power adapter.

6. NetWare Network

The print server has built-in NetWare printer sharing. This allows one or more
printers attached by a print server to be connected to the network. The print server
supports both NetWare and the print server.

The embedded print server, which emulates the NetWare print server’s queue
management functionality, is a PSERVER program running on the NetWare server.
A user prints a job at a workstation, the job is routed to a NetWare server, the
NetWare server stores the job in a print queue, then the print server gets the print
job from the queue to printers. See Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1. A typical application using an embedded print server.

Compared with NetWare printing, the advantages of embedding the NetWare
network printing in the print server include:

• Installation is easier and quicker.

• Network management is easier.

• Printing performance is enhanced.

• Relieves the NetWare file server’s burden.

• Workstations need not be running the remote printer utility.

• Improves productivity by locating the printer near the workgroup.

Each print server should log into a NetWare server before servicing the print jobs.
Each print server will occupy a user account with which it can log into the NetWare
server.

NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x Installation and Setup

Once your print server is connected to your Ethernet network, you can set it up for
use with your networking software. There are two methods you can use to do this
easily:

NOTE

You must install the IPX protocol before the following procedure.

1. In the DOS environment or from the Windows DOS box, use the INSTALL
quick-installation program found on the <CD-ROM Drive>\DOSUTIL of the
CD-ROM included with the print server.

2. In the DOS environment or from the Windows DOS box, use the PSETUP
configuration program found on the included <CD-ROM Drive>\DOSUTIL
to configure the print server to use a particular file server. Then, use
NetWare’s PCONSOLE program to create a NetWare print server and print
queue with the appropriate names.

Q

UICKINSTALLATIONUSING THEINSTALLPROGRAM

Use the Install program included on the CD-ROM to quickly set up the print server
for use in the NetWare environment. It can only be used to set up the print server
as Printer Server mode; it cannot be used to configure the print server as Remote
Printer mode. It handles changing the print server’s internal settings, the creation
of NetWare print server and print queue objects on the file server, and assigning
the print server to the queue. Unless you need to configure the NetWare settings
to conform to special requirements for your network, you can use the quick
installation method.

To use this method, follow these steps.

1. Log into your NetWare server as SUPERVISOR.

2. Insert the CD-ROM included with the print server, and change to the
appropriate drive and directory (for example, e:\dosutil\).

complete, it will also display an execution command that you can type in after
logging into the file server to redirect print commands to the new print
server.

capture /S=III /Q=PRINTSERVER_Q1 /nt /nff /nb /l=1
/ti=10

This redirects the LPT1 port (/l=1) to the print queue PRINTSERVER_Q1
on the file server named III. No banner page will be printed (/nb), no form
feed will be added to the end of the job (/nff), and tabs will not be
expanded into spaces (/nt). If the program does not explicitly signal end-of­job, the capture facility will wait 10 seconds (/ti=10) before assuming that
the print job is complete.

6. Reset the print server so the changes take effect.

PURE NETWORKING 10/100 MINI PRINT SERVERS USERS’ MANUAL

Before printing, you may want to verify that the setup is complete. Using the
PSETUP command’s Print Server Status option (as described in the following
section), you can verify that the print server is connected to the right file server, is
using the correct network frame type, and so on.

You may also want to use the NetWare PCONSOLE program to verify that:

• A NetWare print server and one, two, or three print queue(s) have been
created on the file server. The number of print queues created is equal to your
print server’s number of ports.

• Printer 0 (or Printer 1, Printer 2) on the print server is serving the new print
queue(s).

• The print queue(s) and print server have the right permissions and
notification settings.

• For more detailed information, consult your NetWare manual.

7. UNIX System Network

The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by UNIX lpd (Line Printer
Daemon) protocol. The lpd protocol that originated with the UNIX release is
based on the BSD version of UNIX and supported under most UNIX versions.

This chapter explains how to configure the print server for TCP/IP operation and
how to modify configuration files on your UNIX system to allow printing to the
print server. The configuration examples in this manual follow the syntax for BSD­based UNIX systems. Refer to the related system documentation for the correct
system syntax.

To configure the print server for lpd printing:

1. Enable the print server’s TCP/IP support (see Section 7.1).

2. Set up the print server’s IP address (see Section 7.2).

3. Verify the print server’s IP address (see Section 7.3).

4. Configure remote lpd printing on the host (see Section 7.4).

5. Print a test page (see Section 7.5).

7.1 Enable the Print Server’s TCP/IP Support

The print server’s default configuration is with TCP/IP support enabled.
Configure the print server to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration
program or PSETUP program on the CD-ROM included with the print server.

7.2 Set Up the Print Server’s IP Address

The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the
network.

You can set up the IP address on the various UNIX systems using any one of the
following methods.

1. ARP and Ping Assignment (recommended for UNIX)

2. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

3. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

CHAPTER 7: UNIX System Network

70

PURE NETWORKING 10/100 MINI PRINT SERVERS USERS’ MANUAL

4. RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)

The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address
automatically if its IP address is configured as auto (0.0.0.0).

7.2.1 ARP

AND

P

INGASSIGNMENT

You can use ARP and Ping commands with a Web browser to complete the print
server’s IP address setting.

Parameters for the commands are as follows:

arp —s <IP Address> <Ethernet ID>

ping <IP Address>

For example, a print server has the following configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101

(the Node ID is printed on the rear side of the print server)

Assign IP address: 203.66.191.12

arp —s 203.66.191.12 00-00-B4-01-01-01

ping 203.66.191.12

In the meantime, the print server’s IP will temporarily be set to 203.66.191.12 (it
will restore after reboot). Therefore, you need to run your Web browser to set a
permanent IP address (refer to Section 9.2.7 for detailed IP configuration).

7.2.2 DHCP

Many UNIX systems support the DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure
the DHCP server database vary. This manual does not describe the DHCP server
configuration on UNIX systems. We recommend that you locate the DHCP server
on the same network as the print server. Then refer to your UNIX documentation
for configuration instructions.

71

7.2.3 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon (bootpd) running on your UNIX system that’s
accessible by the print server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the print
server’s IP address. We recommend that you locate the BOOTP server on the same
subnet as the print server. If you use Network Information Services (NIS) in your
system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services before
doing the following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to
your system documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log into
the BOOTP host server as the superuser (root). Perform these steps to add address
entries.

1. Assign a name corresponding to the print server’s IP address. You can add
this address to the /etc/hosts file by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.12 pserver

2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:

hostname:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\

:ip=print_server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

The hostname is the print server’s device name, the ht=1 tag specifies the
hardware type is Ethernet, and the ha=tag specifies the Ethernet address of a
print server (which is the Node ID located on the print server). The ha tag
must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip=tag should correspond to the IP
address you want to assign to the print server.

For example, consider a print server with the following configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 0000B4010101)

IP address: 203.66.191.12

The print server’s entry in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

PS010101:\

CHAPTER 7: UNIX System Network

72

PURE NETWORKING 10/100 MINI PRINT SERVERS USERS’ MANUAL

:ht=1:\

:ha=0000B4010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

7.2.4 RARP

The procedure below enables the RARP daemon running on your system to
respond to a RARP request from the print server and to assign the IP address to
the print server.

1. Login the RARP server’s host as the superuser (root).

2. Assign a name corresponding to the print server’s IP address. You can add
this address to the /etc/hosts file by typing a line such as:

203.66.191.12 pserver

3. Add the Ethernet address and the host name for the print server to the
/etc/ethers file by typing a line such as:

00:00:B4:01:01:01 pserver

The print server’s Ethernet address is the Node ID located on the print
server.

4. If your system uses Network Information Services (NIS), you will need to
make changes to the NIS host.

5. Check if the RARP daemon is running using the ps and grep commands. If
the RARP daemon is not running on your host, type rarpd -a to run the
RARP server.

7.3 Verify the Print Server’s IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address, type
in a PING command:

ping ip-address

73

7.4 Configure Remote lpd Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your UNIX host(s) to allow printing to your
network remote print server varies between different UNIX varieties. The
procedure below can be used for UNIX variants that are related to BSD UNIX,
such as Sun OS or Linux. For other UNIX versions, consult your system
documentation, keeping in mind:

1. The print server should be treated as a BSD networked print server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to
the print server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be the print
server’s printer port’s name (lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3).

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To
configure your UNIX host for printing:

1. Assign a name corresponding to the print server’s IP address. You can add
this address to the /etc/hosts file by typing a line such as:

203.66.191.186 pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool
directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or
/var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

shown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:

printer-name:\

:lp=:\

:rm=203.66.191.186:\

:rp=lpt1:\

:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\

CHAPTER 7: UNIX System Network

74

PURE NETWORKING 10/100 MINI PRINT SERVERS USERS’ MANUAL

:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\

:mx#0:

Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with
variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2).

The rm=entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the print
server. You can also use a host name if you have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.

The sd=entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous
step.

The rp=entry should correspond to the remote printer’s port name. The values
should be lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3, depending on the printer port.

The print server should now be available for printing from your UNIX host.

7.5 Print a Test Page

To print to the print server, type in the lpr command:

lpr -Pprinter-name file ...

or, type in the lp command on the SCO Open Server:

lp —d printer-name file ...

Printer-name is one of the names for the printer in the /etc/printcap file,

which you created in the previous step.

Consult your system documentation for more information about printer
configuration and administration and about lpr and other printing commands.
