5. NetWare Network

5.1 System Architecture

We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality into
the print server itself, thus allowing one or more printers
attached by a print server to be connected to the network. We
have developed the print server to support both NetWare
print server and remote printer functions:

 Embedded print server, which emulates the

“queue management functionality” of
NetWare print server, PSERVER program
running on the NetWare server. A user first
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.

 Embedded remote printer, which allows a

printer to function identically to a DOS
workstation running NPRINTER.EXE
program, but without the DOS workstation. A
user first 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 moves the print job from the
queue to the remote printer then to the printer.

Print Server Function

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

 Installation is easier and quicker.

 Network management is easier.

 Printing performance is enhanced.

 Relieve NetWare file server’ s burden.

 Relieve the need of a workstation running the

remote printer util ity.

 Improve productivity by locating the printer

near the workgroup.

The print server can operate either in print server mode
or in remote printer mode. 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. A remote printer will not log into a
NetWare server; it will connect to a NetWare print server and
get the print jobs from the print server. A remote printer does
not occupy any user account. A NetWare print server can
control many remote printers; thus a print server account can
be shared to many remote printers as your requirement. But
the printing performance of a remote printer will be slower
than a print server‘s, because a remote printer does not get a
print job directly from the print queue, it gets a print job
from the print server. Summarize the comparison between a
print server and a remote printer as follows:

 The Advantage of a Print Server

● Easy configuration.

● Better printing performance.

 The Advantage of a Remote Printer

● Save user licenses.

NOTE: This remote printer feature is available for only
some models. Please see Section 1.2.

5.2 NetWare 3.x Installation & 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:

Please note that, you need install the IPX protocol before
the following procedure,

1. On DOS environment or DOS box of Windows, use

the “

INSTALL”

quick-installation program found on the
<CD-ROM Drive>\DOSUTIL of CD-ROM included with the
print server.

2. On DOS environment or DOS box of Windows, use

the “

PSETUP”

configuration program found on the included
<CD-ROM Drive>\DOSUTIL, 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.

5.2.1 Quick Installation Using “Install” program

The

INSTALL

program included on the CD-ROM can be
used to quickly set up the print server for use on 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 the
assignment of 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,

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. Ex.
e:\dosutil\

3. Run the INSTALL program

4. Select your new print server from the displayed list
and press Enter. The name listed will be the same as the
Device Name printed on a label on your print server.

5. A list of defaults will be displayed. If you need to
change any of these items, use the arrow keys to choose the
item you need to change, then press

Enter

to display a list of

choices. When all of the values are correct, select the

Continue Installation

item and press

Enter

.

6. The quick installation program will not only set up
the print server, but create and setup all required objects on
the file server. When the setup is complete, it will also
display an execution command as following that you can run
after logging in to 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.

7. Reset the print server to have the changes take effect.

Before printing, you may want to verify that the setup
was complete. Using the

Print Server Status

option of the

PSETUP command (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 the number of printer port of your
print server.

 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.

5.2.2 Installation Using PSETUP

5.2.2.1 Configuring as Print Server Mode

5.3 NetWare 4.x/5.x Installation & Setup

This chapter tells how to configure your print server for

operation with NetWare 4.x/5.x file servers and clients using
NDS (NetWare Directory Services). Only some print server
models can support NDS. Please see section 1.2. If you need
to install NetWare 4.x/5.x bindery mode network printing,
please refer to the previous chapter. The installation
procedure is the same as NetWare 3.x.

How NetWare 4.x/5.x is Different

Novell NetWare version 3.x uses a database called the

bindery

for storing information such as user and group
information, server configuration, and information about
network services. Each NetWare 3.x file server has its own
bindery, which is administrated separately from other file
servers using commands such as SYSCON, PCONSOLE, and
so on.

NetWare version 4.x/5.x improved on the bindery

concept by introducing

NDS

, NetWare Directory Services.
NDS is a tree-structured directory that is shared by a group
of file servers on a network, allowing centralized
administration and easy coordination of users, permissions,
and resources between servers.

To make it possible for NetWare 4.x/5.x servers to

coexist with NetWare 3.x servers, NetWare 4.x/5.x supports

bindery emulation

, which makes parts of the NDS directory
visible to NetWare 3.x clients, just as if the information were
stored in a NetWare 3.x bindery. This allows clients to
access NetWare 4.x/5.x servers without being upgraded to the

NetWare 4.x/5.x software, and for 3.x and 4.x/5.x servers to
be mixed on a network.

Your print server can operate either in bindery mode or
NDS mode. Bindery mode works with NetWare 3.x servers
and with NetWare 4.x/5.x servers using bindery emulation.
NDS mode works with NetWare 4.x/5.x servers.

NOTE : Though the print server supports both bindery
mode and NDS mode, it cannot support both at the same time.
If you are using both NetWare 3.x and 4.x/5.x servers, you
need to set up the print server to use bindery mode. If you
need to install NetWare 4.x/5.x bindery mode network
printing, please refer to the previous chapter. The installation
procedure is the same as NetWare 3.x.

5.3.1 Quick Installation Using “Install” program

The INSTALL program included on the CD-ROM can be
used to quickly set up the print server for use. It can only be
used to set up the print server as Server mode; it cannot be
used to configure the print server as Remote Printer mode. To
use this method,

1. Log in to your NetWare server as ADMIN.

2. Insert the CD-ROM and change to the appropriate

drive and directory. Ex. e:\dosutil\

3. Run the INSTALL program with “NDS” option.

E :\dosutil\install /NDS

4. Choose your new print server from the displayed list
and press Enter. The name listed will be the same as the
Device Name printed on a label at the your print server.

5. A list of defaults will be displayed. If you need to
change any of these items, use the arrow keys to choose the
item you need to change, then press Enter to display a list of
choices. When all of the values are correct, select the
Continue Installation item and press Enter.

The Current Tree and Current Context settings cannot be
changed within the INSTALL program. If you need to
change the tree or context where the print server will be

installed, use the CX command to change them before
starting INSTALL program.

6. The quick installation program will not only set up
the print server but create and setup all required objects on
the network. When the setup is complete, it will also display
an execution command as following that you can run after
logging in to the file server to redirect print commands to the
new print server.

7. Reset the print server to have the changes take effect.

NOTE: The print server may require up to a minute
after power-up to log into a NetWare Directory Services
context because of the large number of calculations NDS
security requires.

5.3.2 NetWare 4.x/5.x Installation Using PSETUP

5.3.2.1 Configuring as Print Server Mode

context because of the large number of calculations NDS
security requires.

Your print server should now be ready for use by
workstation users. You should be able to redirect printing to
your print server using a CAPTURE command.

5.3.2.2 Configuring as Remote Printer Mode

This remote printer feature is not available for the
10/100Mbps 3-port models. Make sure that you have created
the NetWare print server with Type Remote using

6. UNIX System Network

6.1 Introduction

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

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
BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related system
documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.

To configure the print server for lpd printing, perform
the procedures below:

1. Enable Print Server ’s TCP/IP Support.

2. Set up Print Server’s IP address.

3. Verify Print Server’s IP Address.

4. Configure remote lpd printing on the host.

5. Print a test page.

In the next sections, we will describe these five
procedures step by step.

6.2 Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support

The default configuration of the print server is with
TCP/IP support enabled. Anyway, you can configure the print
server to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration
program or PSETUP program in the CD-ROM included with
the Print server.

6.3 Setup 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 & Ping Assignment (Recommand for Unix)

2. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

3. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

4. RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Prot ocol)

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).

6.3.1 ARP & Ping Assignment

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

Parameters for the command s are as follows:

arp –s <IP Address> <Ethernet ID>

ping <IP Address>

For example, a print server with 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

At the mean time, print server’s IP will “temporarily” be
set to 203.66.191.12 (will restore after reboot). Therefore,
you need to run your web browser to set a permanent IP
address (refer to section 8.3.7 for detailed IP configuratio n).

6.3.2 DHCP

There are many Unix systems that support DHCP
protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server
database are different. This manual does not describe the
DHCP server configuration on the Unix systems. It is highly
recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the
same network as the print server.

6.3.3 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on
your UNIX system that is accessible by the print server, you
can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the
print server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be
located 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 in the host of BOOTP server as the
superuser (root). Perform the following steps to add address
entries,

1. Optionally, 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.

Where hostname is the device name of a print server, the
ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, 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, a print server with the following
configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethe rnet

address is 0000B4010101),

IP address: 203.66.191.12

The entry for this print server in the /etc/bootptab file
should be:

PS010101:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=0000B4010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

6.3.4 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. Log in the host of RARP server 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
adding 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 adding a line such as:

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

Where the Ethernet address of the print server 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 and
ethers databases.

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.

6.4 Verify Print Server’s IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the

newly assigned IP address using a PING command:

ping ip-addr ess

6.5 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 varieties of Unix. The procedure below
can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD Unix,
such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix, consult
your system documentation, keeping in mind that:

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 lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the parallel port on
the print server.

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

1. Optionally, 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:

203.66.191.186 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

chown 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:\

: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 port name of the
remote printer. The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3
depends on the printer port.

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

6.6 Print a Test Page

To print to the print server, you can use the lpr command:

lpr -Pprinter-name file ...

or, you can use the lp command on SCO Open Server:

lp –d printer-name file ...

Where 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.m

7. Configuration Utility

7.1 Introduction

This chapter introduces print server’s system
configuration utility in Windows environment. This utility is
automatically installed during Windows Administrator Utility
installation procedure - refer to section 3.2 and 3.3.

This utility provides the most complete management and
configuration functions on the print server side. This utility
only provides configuration functions for print server itself;
it does not include configuration functions for client side or
other file server or NetWare server in the network
environment.

The Configuration Utility provides the following
configuration and management functions:

 General : General Information of print server

 PrintServer Status : PrintServer Network

Status

 Printer Status : Attached Printer Status

 IP Cfg : IP Address Configuration

 NW PS Cfg : NetWare Print Server

Configuration

 NW RP Cfg : NetWare Remote Printer

Configuration

 NW Information : NetWare Printing

Summary

 Print Server Cfg : Print Server Network

We will explain each function separately in the
following section.

7.2 General - General Information of Print
Server

 Every time when you run print server’s

configuration utility, the system will initially
delay for several seconds because the utility is
using system’s available network protocols to
search for all print servers on the network.
Therefore, you must first select the print server
you would like to configure from the

Print

Server Name

’s field under the

General

tag. The
system will, at the same time, display the
selected print server’s model number and
firmware version.

 You may select any available printer port in the

Printer Port

’s field at the bottom of that page,

and then press the “

TestPrint

” button to test

print.

 By pressing the “

Refresh

” button, you may

manually search again for print servers on the

network for you to select a newly added print
server.
