5. NetWare Network
5.1 System Architecture
We implemented the NetWare printer sharing functionality into the HPS3P, to allow one or more printers attached to the print server to be connected to your network. The HPS3P can support both the NetWare print server and remote printer functions:
The embedded print server, which emulates the “queue management functionality” of the NetWare print server, is the 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 then stores the job in a print queue and the print server gets the print job from the queue to the printer on your network.

The embedded remote printer allows a printer to function identically to a DOS workstation running NPRINTER.EXE program without the DOS workstation. A user first prints a job at a workstation; the job is routed to a NetWare server; then the NetWare server stores the job in a print queue and the print server moves the print
job from the queue to the remote printer and then to the printer.

The advantages of embedding the NetWare network printing functionality in the print server include:
Quick and easy installation.
Easy network management.
Enhanced printing performance.
Relief of NetWare’s file server burden.
The HPS3P can operate either in print server mode or in a 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. The printing performance of a remote printer will be slower than a print server‘s performance, because a remote printer does not get a print job directly from the print queue. The remote printer gets its print job from the print server.
The Advantages of a Print Server
- Easy configuration.
- Better printing performance.
The Advantage of a Remote Printer
- Save user licenses.
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 continuing to install the print server.
1. In a DOS environment or DOS Windows, use the “INSTALL” quick-installation program found on the <CD-ROM Drive>\DOSUTIL of CD-ROM included with the print server.
2. In a DOS environment or DOS Windows box, 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 the “Install” program
The INSTALL program included on the CD-ROM can be used to quickly set up the HPS3P for use with the NetWare environment. It can only be used to set up the print server in Printer Server mode; it cannot be used to configure the print server in Remote Printer mode. The HPS3P handles changing the print server’s internal settings, the creation of the NetWare print server and print queue objects on the file server as well as 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 the back label of 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 also create and setup all required objects on the file server. When setup is complete, it will display an execution command that you can run 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 command 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-of-job, 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 and is using the correct network frame type.
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 ports on 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 in Print Server Mode
For more complex setup needs, you can use the PSETUP program in conjunction with the NetWare PCONSOLE program.

14. You have now successfully created the print queue that your print server will serve. Press the Escape key until the Available Options main menu is displayed.
15. Select “Print Server Information.”
16. Press the Insert key to add a new NetWare print server object. The print server name can be identical to the PSxxxxxx name printed on the label of the print server, or you can use an alias name you have assigned using PSETUP.
17. Press Enter to select the newly created print server.
18. Select “Print Server Configuration.”
19. Select “Printer Configuration.”
20. Select Printer 0 (or Printer 1, Printer 2), and press Enter, then select Parallel LPT1 (or LPT2, LPT3) in the Type field. If your print server has only one port, you do not need to configure this Type field.
21. Press Escape, and answer Yes to the Save Changes question.
22. Select Queues Serviced by Printer, then select Printer 0 (or Printer 1, Printer 2) and press Enter.
23. Press Insert and add your newly created print queue to the list of queues serviced by the printer. Enter a priority number for the queue service, or press Enter to accept the default.
24. Repeatedly press Escape to exit the PCONSOLE program.
25. Reset the print server to have the changes take effect.
NOTE: If the print server you have is with multiple printer connectors, you may create multiple print queues and printer objects.
Your print server should now be ready to use. You should be able to redirect printing to your print server using a CAPTURE command like the one shown in the previous section.
5.2.2.2 Configuring as a Remote Printer Mode
The remote printer feature is not available for some print server models. Make sure that you have created the NetWare print server with Type Remote using PCONSOLE utility before you configure the print server. For more detailed information about PCONSOLE, please refer to NetWare’s manual. You can set up the NetWare print server and print queue objects by following the steps below:
1. Run the NetWare PCONSOLE program.
2. Change the current file server, if necessary, using the Change Current File Server menu selection.
3. Choose the “Print Queue” Information menu selection.
4. Press the Insert key to add a new print queue.
5. Type in a print queue name, like “PQ” or “Q1”.
6. You have now successfully created the print queue that your NetWare print server will serve. Press the Escape key until the Available Options main menu is displayed.
7. Select “Print Server Information.”
8. Press the Insert key to add a new NetWare print server.
9. Press Enter to select the newly created print server.

12. Select Printer 0 (or Printer 1, Printer 2), press Enter, and then select Remote Parallel in the Type field.
13. Press Escape, and answer Yes to the Save Changes question.
14. Select Queues Serviced by Printer, then select Printer 0 and press Enter.
15. Press Insert and add your newly created print queue to the list of queues serviced by the printer. Enter a priority number for the queue service, or press Enter to accept the default.
16. Repeatedly press Escape to exit the PCONSOLE program.
17. You must now load the NetWare print server on the NetWare file server so that the print server configured as a remote printer can connect to that print server and service the print jobs. To load the NetWare print server, type “LOAD PSERVER.NLM PrintServer” at the system console of the NetWare file server where the PrintServer is the print server name newly created by the PCONSOLE program.
To configure the print server as a NetWare remote printer, perform the following steps:
1. From a workstation, log in to your NetWare server as SUPERVISOR.
2. Run the PSETUP program included on the CD-ROM. (ex. e:\dosutil\psetup.exe)
3. Select your new print server from the list provided.
4. Choose NetWare Configuration from the menu.
5. Select “Remote Printer” in the Printing mode field.

8. Press Escape to exit the NetWare Configuration screen, confirm that the changes should be saved, and exit PSETUP.
9. At this point the print server setup is complete.
10. Reset the print server to let the changes take effect.
5.3 NetWare 4.x/5.x Installation & Setup
This chapter explains how to configure your print server for operation with NetWare 4.x/5.x file servers and clients using NDS (NetWare Directory Services). 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 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 modes 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 in Server mode; it cannot be used to configure the print server in 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 the “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 of 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 the INSTALL program.
6. The quick installation program will not only set up the print server but also create and setup all required objects on the network. When the setup is complete, it will also display an execution command 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 the calculations NDS security requires.
5.3.2 NetWare 4.x/5.x Installation Using PSETUP
5.3.2.1 Configuring in Print Server Mode
For more complex setup requirements, you can use the PSETUP program in conjunction with the NetWare PCONSOLE program.
To install the print server using NetWare Directory Services (NDS) mode:

2. Run the PSETUP program included on the print server CD-ROM. (ex. e:\dosutil\psetup.exe)
3. Select your new print server from the list provided.
4. Choose NetWare Configuration from the menu.
5. Select Print server in the Printing mode field.
6. Change Alias name if you want.
7. Set the NDS tree and NDS context where the print server will be located. Do NOT set a Primary file server, as that would force the use of bindery mode.
8. Press Escape to exit the Print Server Configuration screen, confirm that the changes should be saved, and exit PSETUP.
9. Run the NetWare PCONSOLE program.
10. Change the current context, if necessary, using the Change Context menu selection.
11. Choose Quick Setup from the menu.
12. Enter the print server name (either the PSxxxxxx name or an alias name you have assigned) in the Print server field.
13. Assign printer and print queue names.
14. Set the Banner type to PostScript if you are using a PostScript printer, and to Text otherwise.
15. Press F10 to save the new configuration.
16. 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.
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 in Remote Printer Mode
This remote printer feature is not available for our 10/100Mbps 3-port models. Make sure that you have created the NetWare print server with Type Remote using the PCONSOLE utility before you configure the print server. For more detailed information about PCONSOLE, please refer to NetWare‘s manual. You can set up the NetWare print server, print queue and printer objects by following the steps below:
1. Run the NetWare PCONSOLE program.
2. Change the current context, if necessary, using the Change Context menu selection.
3. Choose Quick Setup from the menu.
4. Enter the print server name in the Print server field.

8. Press Escape to exit the NetWare Configuration screen, confirm that the changes should be saved, and exit PSETUP.
9. Reset the HPS3P to have the changes take effect.
6. UNIX System Network
6.1 Introduction
The print server is available for TCP/IP printing through the 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 following procedures below:
1. Enable the HPS3P’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set the HPS3P’s IP address.
3. Verify the HPS3P’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote lpd printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next section, we will describe these five procedures in depth.
6.2 Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the HPS3P has TCP/IP support enabled. You can configure the HPS3P to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration program or PSETUP program on the CD-ROM included with the HPS3P.
6.3 Setup the HPS3P’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 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 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).
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 commands 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
In the meantime, your HPS3P 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 configuration).
6.3.2 DHCP
There are many Unix systems that support the DHCP
protocol nd the procedures to configure the DHCP
server database are different. This manual does not
describe the DHCP server configuration on Unix
systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP
server should be located on the same network as the
HPS3P.
6.3.3 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on
your UNIX system which is accessible to 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 as the host of the
BOOTP server with superuser (root) admin rights.
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 the following line:
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 the HPS3P;
the ht=1 tag specifies that the hardware type is
Ethernet. The ha= tag specifies that the Ethernet
address of the HPS3P 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, below is an example of a print server
with the following configuration:
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet
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 assign an 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 like:
00:00:B4:01:01:01 pserver
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 its 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 the HPS3P’s IP Address
To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address, use a PING command to check the HPS3P’s response:
ping ip-address
6.5 Configure Remote lpd Printing on the Host
You can use this procedure to configure your Unix host(s) to allow printing to your network. The procedure below can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD Unix, like 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 the following line:
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 one assigned 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 depending on the which printer port your printer is attached to (for multiple port print servers).
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 the HPS3P’s system configuration utility in a Windows environment. This utility is automatically installed during the Windows Administrator Utility installation procedure - refer to section 3.2 and
3.3.
This utility provides complete management and configuration functions for the print server. This utility only provides configuration functions for the HPS3P 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

The following section will explain in detail each specific function.
7.2 General - General Information for the
HPS1U
Each time you run the HPS1U’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.
7.3 Print Server Status
The Print Server Status page displays the network ability and status of the HPS3P in detail.
7.4 Printer Status - Attached Printer Status
The Printer Status page displays the printer status for each port.
7.5 IP Cfg - IP Address Configuration
The IP Cfg page allows you to configure the HPS3P’s IP address. The print server will obtain its IP address automatically if you configure the IP address as Auto.
Click the Write button to save the configuration to the print server and Click the Reset button to reset the print server and have the changes take effect.
7.6 NW PS Cfg - NetWare Print Server
Configuration
The NW PS Cfg page allows you to set:
The Alias name, a nickname by which the print server can be called (in addition to the PSxxxxxx name printed on the label).
The operation mode, which determines how the print server logs into the network between Bindery mode and NDS mode.
The primary file server where the NetWare print server object is located, or the print server’s NDS tree and context.
The remote printer, which determines if the print server works in remote printer mode.
The polling interval, which determines how often the print server checks the print queues.
The Write button: save the configuration to the print server.
The Reset button: reset the print server to let the changes take effect.
7.7 NW RP Cfg - NetWare Remote Printer
