Installation Overview

This guide explains how to configure your printer on a supported network using HP JetAdmin. Each chapter of this guide supports a different network operating system (such as Novell, Windows NT, or UNIX) in conjunction with a client operating system.

1. This guide assumes that you have the following:

■

A good working knowledge of your network operating system and your network utilities.

■

A supported network operating system.

■

A fully operational system.

■

Access to the supervisor account as a network administrator, or access to an account that has supervisor and print server configuration privileges.

2. Before you use this guide, complete the following tasks:

■

Make sure your network is up and running.

■

Install and set up the printer according to the instructions in the printer’s getting started guide or user’s guide.

■

Install any options in the printer (such as a duplexing unit for two-sided printing).

■

If your HP JetDirect print server came pre-installed in the printer, follow the instructions in the printer’s getting started guide or user’s guide to connect the print server to the network.

■

If your HP JetDirect print server did not come pre-installed in the printer, follow the instructions in the hardware installation guide for your HP JetDirect print server.

3. Depending on the network environment (network operating

system and client system), install the HP JetDirect software on either the administrator’s computer or the network server.

■

If the HP JetAdmin software is provided with your printer software, follow the instructions in your printer’s getting started guide or user’s guide to install the software.

■

8 Novell NetWare Networks (Windows 3.1 Client)

Configuring a Printer in Queue Server Mode (NDS)

Novell Directory Services (NDS) gives you the ability to have NetWare 4.x print queues and print servers in any NDS context. The actual print queue, printer, and print server objects are created using the Novell NWADMIN or PCONSOLE utilities. The HP JetDirect print server is then assigned to this configuration with the HP JetAdmin software using the following procedure.

Before you configure the HP JetAdmin software, make sure the following tasks have been performed:

●

Internal print servers: The print server is installed in the printer and the printer is connected to a network.

●

External print servers: The print server has power and is connected to the printer’s parallel port and network.

●

The printer is turned on, is online, and you have printed an HP JetDirect configuration page.

If you have not printed a configuration page from your printer, see the hardware installation guide for your print server or your printer’s getting started guide for instructions.

Note If you are servicing NDS and Bindery queues on the

same file servers, the HP JetDirect print server will log onto the server twice, taking two user licenses.

There are two main parts to configuring the print server for NDS:

●

Create the print queue, printer, and print server objects using Novell NWADMIN and assign the objects to one another.

●

Use the HP JetAdmin software to configure the print server.

16 Novell NetWare Networks (Windows 3.1 Client)

Configuring a Printer in Remote Printer Mode (Bindery)

You can configure a printer in remote printer mode on a NetWare

3.x and 4.x (Bindery) network. Remote Printer mode requires a Novell NetWare print server, but allows implementation of forms and provides the best integration with NetWare print utilities (for example, PCONSOLE or NWADMIN). Using PSERVER.EXE, the print server consumes one user license for all printers. Using PSERVER.NLM, the print server does not consume any license slots.

Before you configure the HP JetAdmin software, make sure the following tasks have been performed:

●

Internal print servers: The print server is installed in the printer and the printer is connected to a network.

●

External print servers: The print server has power and is connected to the printer’s parallel port and network.

●

The printer is turned on, is online, and you have printed a configuration page.

If you have not printed an HP JetDirect configuration page from your printer, see the hardware installation guide for your print server or your printer’s getting started guide for instructions.

Accessing HP Desktop Status

There are several ways to get the status of a printer on the network:

●

Through the HP JetAdmin software

●

By opening a printer or viewing printer properties in the

Printers

●

By using a printer icon in the Taskbar

Note The icon and printer properties methods are only

The icon gives a simple indication of printer status by displaying a small printer icon in the Taskbar. The icon is green if the printer is ready, yellow if there is a warning condition (such as toner low), or red if there is an error condition (such as the printer is out of paper).

You can also access Summary and Properties information by right-clicking on the desired printer icon and selecting the appropriate menu item. Note that tool tips are also implemented. (If you move the cursor over a tray icon and leave it there for a few seconds, the name of the printer pops up.)

Running the HP JetAdmin Software

The HP JetAdmin software helps the administrator to configure the print server and the spooling system. To run the HP JetAdmin software from the default paths, type the following. If you installed HP JetAdmin in a different directory, the paths might be different.

For HP-UX 10.01 - 10.20, 11.x, and Solaris 2.5.x - 2.6, type:

/opt/hpnp/bin/jetadmin

To use HP JetAdmin software in a UNIX-based TCP/IP environment, you must first configure the HP JetDirect print server and configure the host spooler.

Configuring the HP JetDirect Print Server

For information on configuring the HP JetDirect print server with TCP/IP network parameters, refer to the

Administrator’s Guide

HP JetDirect

Configuring the Host Spooler

Similar to other serial or parallel connected printers, a network printer (represented by its IP address) must be configured to the local spooler before you can access it.

66 UNIX (HP-UX and Solaris) Networks

The spooling system is a set of programs, shell scripts, and directories that control your printers and the flow of data going to them. This section explains how to use the HP JetAdmin software to configure your network-based printer into the spooling system.

Note For additional support information, visit HP

Customer Care Online at http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing.

Adding a Network Print Queue from the Local Spooler

1. Run the HP JetAdmin software. Type:

/opt/hpnp/bin/jetadmin

2. Select Configuration from the software’s main menu. The configuration menu appears.

3. Select Add printer to local spooler.

4. When the following prompt appears:

Enter the network printer name:

type the name of your network printer, which is the name typed in NIS (Network Information Service), DNS (Domain Name Service), or

/etc/hosts

for the printer. It is the printer’s

node name.

5. When the HP JetAdmin software displays a list of configurable parameters, change the parameters you want to change, then select 0 (zero).
