Please be aware that Network Ports Quick Setup Utility can
only detect and configure all print servers on the same network;
it cannot search and configure print servers on other subnets
across network segments. You must us e the Remote Ports
Utility described in the next section to manage remote (across
network segments) print servers.
3.5.2 Remote Ports (Utility)
The Remote Ports Utility is a convenient tool for you to
manage and add printer ports of a remote print serv er. From the
utility assistant panel, you can print to other print servers
outside of your subnet and across your network segments.
Please note that this function only supports the TCP/IP network
protocol.
Please follow the procedures described below:
Step1. Run the Remote Ports Utility
Step2. Press Add, then enter the print server’s
name, IP address, select used ports, and
enter the LPR queue name of each port.
Step3. Press OK to add the remote printer port
into your computer’s printer ports.
In order to use the remote printing function, you will have to
proceed with the normal Add Printer procedure and select your
printer port as the newly added remote printer port.

4.2 Windows NT/2000 Server Installation and
Setup
Please follow the procedures described below for installation
of a peer -to-peer connection (PTPP) between a Windows
NT/2000 Server and the HWPS1UG .
Step1.
If this is your first time installing the print server, please
install the administrator software on your Windows NT/2000
server first. Refer to section 3.2 for installation instructions.
If your network has already an installed working print server
and your Windows NT/2000 server has not yet installed the
PTPP driver, please install the client software. Refer to section
3.4 and 3.5 for installation instructions.
Step2.
Please add/configure Peer -to-Peer Printing on your Windows
NT/2000 network printer and verify that you can print from
Windows NT/2000 to the print server through the installed
PTPP driver.
Step3.
Share the above server’s printer with the network by
perform ing the standard Windows printer sharing installation
process.
4.3 User Installation and Setup
After the server side installation is completed, the client side
will be able to find the server’s shared printer in your Network
Neighborhood. You will then need to perform Window’s
standard Add New Printer procedure. Select “Network
Printer” as shown in the screen below, and complete the
configurations to access the shared printer.
5. NetWare Network
5.1 System Architecture
We implemented the NetWare printer sharing functionality in
the HWPS1UG , to allow one or more printers attached to the
print server to be connected to your network. The HWPS1UG
can support NetWare print server 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 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.
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.
5.2 NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x Installation & Setup
Once your print server is connected to your Ethernet network,
you can set it up for use with your networking software
5.2.1 Installation Using PSETUP
5.2.1.1 Configuring in Print Server Mode
For more complex setup needs, you can use the PSETUP
program in conjunction with the NetWare PCONSOLE program.
The installation procedure is as follows:
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 the Print server in the Printing mode field.
6. Change the Alias of the print server if you wish.
7. Set the Primary File Server to be the file server where the
print server’s queue will be located.
8. Press Escape to exit the Print Server Configuration screen,
confirm that the changes should be saved, and exit PSETUP.
At this point the print server setup is complete. You can now
begin setting up the NetWare print server and print queue
objects:
9. Run the NetWare PCONSOLE program.
10. Change the current file server, if necessary, using the
Change Current File Server menu selection.
11. Choose the Print Queue Information menu selection.
12. Press the Insert key to add a new print queue.
13. Type in a print queue name, such as “PQ” or “Q1”.
14. You have now successfully created the print queue that
your print server will serve. Press the Es cape 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.

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.
6. UNIX System Network
6.1 Introduction
The HWPS1UG can use TCP/IP printing through the Unix lpd
(Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The lpd protocol is based on
the BSD version of Unix and is 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 system.
To configure the print server for lpd printing, perform the
following procedures below:
1. Enable the HWPS1UG ’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set the HWPS1UG ’s IP address.
3. Verify the HWPS1UG ’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 The HWPS1UG’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the HWPS1UG has TCP/IP
support enabled. You can configure the HWPS1UG to enable
TCP/IP support using the configuration program or PSETUP
program included on the HWPS1UG CD-ROM.
6.3 Setup the HWPS1UG’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. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap 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 DHCP
There are many Unix systems that support the DHCP protocol
and 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
HWPS1UG .
6.3.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your
UNIX and is accessible to the print server, you can use the
BOOTP protocol to set up th e 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 HWPS1UG ; the ht=1
tag specifies that the hardware type is Ethernet. The ha= tag
specifies that the Ethernet address of the HWPS1UG 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:
6.4 Verify the HWPS1UG’s IP Address
To verify that your print server is responding to the newly
assigned IP address, use a PING command to check the
HWPS1UG ’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 lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3, depending on
which printer port your printer is attached to.
The HWPS1UG should now be available for printing from your
Unix host.
7. Configuration Utility

7. 7 Netware Print Server Configuration
Double Click on the “ NetWare” icon and the NetWare
configuration window will be displayed.
The HWPS1UG supports the NetWare Bindery Printing method
and period ically polls the NetWare server printer queues for
printing jobs. You will have to assign the NetWare server name,
print server polling interval, and the name of queue on the
NetWare server for each printer port.
Polling Time is the polling interval time that the HWPS1UG
waits before printing jobs on the NetWare server.
Attached Queue is the name of the printer queue on the
NetWare server. The printer queue keeps all printing jobs
waiting on the NetWare server. You have to assign a printer
queue for each printer port of the HWPS1UG .
NetWare Server is the name of the NetWare file server that
provides printer queues.
7.8 System Configuration
Double Click “System” icon and the System configuration
window will be displayed.
From the System configuration page, you can select to
enable/disable each printing protocol, assign name for each
