2.1 Preparing the Printer

If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should generate one before you begin. This will give you detailed information on the identiﬁcation and conﬁguration of your printer, as well as ensuring that the printer is properly set up and operating.

If you are installing an Ethernet Print Server Card, continue to step 1. If you're installing a Token Ring board, you must ﬁrst set the speed to the same setting as the Token Ring adapter cards on your network. Refer to

tion,

for details.

Warning: If you are installing a Token Ring card, you must set the network speed now.

Changes made after start-up or after you power up the Print Server Card will not be implemented and may cause problems. If you do not set the speed to match the speed of other Token Ring adapter cards on the network, all trafﬁc on the network will come to a halt.

1. Make sure that the printer is operating properly. Check to see that paper is in the paper tray and toner cartridge is full. If the printer handles multiple printer languages, make sure it is set up for automatic emulation sensing or PCL or ASCII mode.

2. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.

3. Install the Print Server Card in the option port, according to the printer manufacturer instructions.

MAP has the following requirements:

• The Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack must be installed on this PC. It is not necessary for the network to support TCP/IP. However, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on this PC even if the network does not support it.

• A web bro wser must be installed on this PC. Both Netscape Na vigator and Internet Explorer are supported.

• If the IPX search functions are to be used, then IPX must be installed on this PC. Both the Microsoft and the NetWare 32-bit stacks are supported.

The Management Access Program (MAP) uses a Windows-based HTML viewer program linked with a proprietary bi-directional IPX/IP channel program to allow access to the Print Server Card's HTML-based monitoring and maintenance capabilities. An IP Web Browser also provides access to this capability directly . Either program allows you to:

• Conﬁgure your network protocols for the Print Server Card.

• Reset the Print Server Card remotely to either clear an error condition, or return the print server to its factory default settings.

• Troubleshoot problems in the Print Server Card.

• Enable or disable the status sheet printout.

• Access a context-sensitive help menu that fully explains how to use each Management Access Program feature.

Note: To be able to change parameter values with the Management Access Program or

4.1.6 Set Up Notify Options for the Printer (Optional)

To enable the print server to notify users or user groups if a problem occurs with the printer, set up the Notify options. The print server supports the enhanced NOTIFY options for printers, including informing users when the printer:

• Is off-line, jammed, opened, or out of paper

• Requires a manual paper feed or a form change

• Has had an engine failure

1. Choose Notify List for Printer on the Print Server Conﬁguration menu.

2. Select the printer from the Deﬁned Printers list. The screen appears (which is blank for an initial installation). Press the RETURN key to view a list of Notify Candidates.

3. Select the user or group from the list.

4. Set the First and Next intervals in the Notify Intervals screen. It is recommended that you use the defaults. The First interval is the number of seconds the network waits before it notiﬁes candidates about a print job problem. The Next interval speciﬁes how often in seconds candidates are notiﬁed. Enter a number for each interval and press the RETURN key.

5. Press the ESC key and then choose Save Changes. Press the ESC key at each screen until you reach the Print Server Conﬁguration menu. If you have ﬁnished the conﬁguration, press the ESC key and then save the changes.

4.1.7 Installing the Print Server on Multiple File Servers

To install the print server on more than one ﬁle server, perform the procedures described in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.6 for each ﬁle server. You must use the same name and password for the print server (or no password) on all ﬁle servers. You set the password for the Print Server Card using the MAP program (refer to 4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services). If you use a password, specify it on each ﬁle server using the Change Password option on the Print Server Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility.

When the Print Server Card comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to the ﬁle servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks propagation delay. For extremely large or complex networks, this allows a bounded search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to ﬁle servers beyond this range, or, if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all ﬁle servers in the four hops/eight ticks radius, the ﬁle servers with which the print server is to operate may be entered into the Print Server Conﬁguration of a primary ﬁle server. The pri-

NetWare Conﬁguration-5

mary ﬁle server can be any ﬁle server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates the primary ﬁle server and the list of ﬁle servers to be serviced, the automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to those ﬁle servers listed (and to no others).

4.1.8 Primary File Server

To use the primary ﬁle server option, use the following procedure on a ﬁle server close to the printer:

1. List the ﬁle servers to be serviced by the primary ﬁle server by selecting File Server To Be Serviced option from the Print Server Conﬁguration Menu.

2. Press the INSERT key to display the Available File Servers list.

3. Select the name of each ﬁle server to be serviced and press the return key to add it to the File Servers To Be Serviced list.

4. When the list is complete, press the ESC key to return to the menu.

5. Install the Print Server Card on each of the primary ﬁle servers.

4.1.9 Preferred File Servers

The MAP or Web Browser utilities allow you to identify a preferred ﬁle server, to be identiﬁed within the Print Server Card itself. If a preferred ﬁle server is listed, the Print Server Card will attach to this identiﬁed ﬁle server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred ﬁle server is also a primary ﬁle server (for example, has ﬁle servers listed under ﬁle servers to be serviced), the Print Server Card will connect directly to these ﬁle servers.

Note: The Preferred File Server is only applicable to bindery-based queues. Entering it

has no affect on NDS queues.

NetWare Conﬁguration-6

4.2 Conﬁguring NetWare 4.0x Bindery Emulation

Novell's NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For NDS, see 4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Dir ectory Services. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Print Server Card may be conﬁgured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services). When conﬁgured under NDS, the print Server Card will also service older ﬁle servers operating in bindery mode.

Note: If the Print Server Card is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services

mode is not running, the Print Server Card can not ﬁnd its ﬁle servers, and the status page indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.

4.2.1 Conﬁrm Bindery Context

Before installing the Print Server Card on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If the Print Server Card must be installed in the Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the following steps to conﬁrm the server has Bindery Context:

1. Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install

2. Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu.

3. Select NCF Files Options from the menu.

4. Select Edit AUT OEXEC.NCF from the menu.

5. Search the ﬁle to see if you have a statement similar to the following included:

SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG

Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the ﬁle server context. Use your own ﬁle server context in place of =0U=ENG.

6. At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT statement that you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle.

NetWare Conﬁguration-7

Note: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The deﬁnition in

the ﬁle takes effect when the server is shut down and then restarted.

4.2.2 Conﬁgure in Bindery Mode with PCONSOLE

Once you conﬁrm the server has Bindery Context, use the following procedures to conﬁgure the Print Server Card.

1. Log into the network as ADMIN.

2. Type PCONSOLE and press the return key. The following screen appears.

Available Options

Print Queues Printers Print Drivers Quick Setup Change Context

3. When the Available Options menu appears, press the o key (for the Bindery Mode).

Note: If you receive a message asking you to login to a server with Bindery connections,

the server you are attached to does not have Bindery Mode enabled. Follow the procedures in 4.2.1 Conﬁrm Bindery Context or log onto a server with Bindery Services activated.

4. From the Available Options screen, select Quick Setup and press the return key. Use Quick Setup to connect your print server, print queue and printer correctly. You can modify these later if you need to.

5. Select Print server and press the n key to modify the entry.

6. Enter the name of the print server in the Print server ﬁeld and press the return key.
