Though this Network Card does not support NetBEUI protocol, it supports TCP/IP and IPX/SPX, which pro vide s plenty of connection flexibility for the Windows computer.

This chapter consists of the sections listed below.

Windows 95/98

• Peer-to-peer printing with TCP/IP See 3-1-1 Peer-to-Peer Printing with TCP/IP.

• Peer-to-pe er print i ng with IPX/SPX See 3-1-2 Peer-to-Peer Printing with IPX/SPX.

Windows NT

• Peer-to-peer printing with TCP/IP See 3-2-1 Peer-to-Peer Printing with TCP/IP.

• LPR printing See 3-2-2 LPR Printing.

Windows 2000

• Peer-to-peer printing with TCP/IP See 3-3-1 Peer-to-Peer Printing with TCP/IP.

• LPR printing See 3-3-2 LPR Printing.

3-1 Windows 95/98

A Windows 95/98 network printer can be used by going through a Novell NetWare or Windows 2000/NT server. This Network Card, however, can be configure d with its bundled peer-to-peer pri nting programs for peer-to-peer printing without a server. Peer-to-peer printing can be performed using TCP/IP or IPX/SPX.

menu, and then set the password for each

file server. The Network Card automatically se arc hes for and attaches to file

servers within four hops and with propagation delays within eight ticks. In the case of a very large and complex network, this allows a bounded search time on startup. When the print server needs to attach to file server s outside the above range or when you want to speed up start up by searching for only some of the file servers within the range described above , you can en ter the file servers with which the print server is to operate into the

These two services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Network Card can be configur ed to operate in the bindery servic es mode only or under NDS. Under NDS, the Network Card will also service older file servers operating in bindery mode.

Note

• The Network Ca rd will not be able to find its f ile servers if it is not correctly configured for NDS operation and the bindery services mode is not running. You can use MAP or a Web browser to check the configurati on of th e Network Car d. See

4-3 Configuration Using Novell Directory

Services

Novell Directo ry Services (NDS) provides a more advanced approa ch to network management than previous versions of NetWare. It stores and tracks all network objects. A Ve rsion 4.x server must have NDS installed in order to function.

This means ev ery NetWare 4.x server is a director y se rver, because it services printers, print se rver s, print queues, an d other named dire ctory objects. With appropr ia te privileges , you can cre at e a print server object and assign them network-wide contexts (or locations), which eliminates the need to perform troublesome setup of print servers on each individual network server.

Chapter 4

NDS provides true enterprise networking based not on individually defined physical sites, but rather on a shared network database . The result is vastly improved print server setup and management.

The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about server s and se rvi ces , us ers, p rin ters , gateways, etc. It is a distributed database that allows access to data anywhere on the network, regardless of where it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data as DIB, but the dat a is stored in the NetWare bindery.

4-13

NetWare Configuration

Chapter 4

4-3 Configuration Using Novell Director y Services

DIB is design e d for mo re flexibl e acc es s, mo re specific secur ity, and, because it is distributed, a design that allows partiti oning. Unlike bindery’s flat file structure, the DIB directory uses an object-oriented structure, enabling network-oriented access as opposed to bindery’s server-oriented access.

The bindery emulation mode provide s the directory with downward compatibility with NetWare bindery. This section (4.3) explains operation of the print serv er with a 4.x NetWare system in bindery emulation mode. Once bindery emulation is enabled, NDS receives bindery requests and responds just as if a bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed.

It should be noted he re that information obtained f rom a bindery query may not be stored on the server because the directory is a partitioned and distributed dat abase. Though a NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a bindery, applications making bindery requests do not know the difference.

NWADM IN can be used to configure the printer in NDS. Before printing, you must use the procedures below to configure NDS, and to set up the Network Card with NDS context and tree.

The procedures for us ing NWADMIN to create the printe r , pr int ser ver, and other print queue objects are provided below. After you create these objects you must then associate them with each other. Under NetWare 4.x you can keep binder y resources on any server if you want

such as which queues to service and whom to notify in case of problems. See the Novell NetWare documentation for details about using PCONSOLE for NDS.

Note

• Some NetWare servers require that bindery context be configured on the file server, ev en when using the NDS mode.

Generally, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems that require an entry in the printcap file once the Network Card has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems place restrictions on support of remote lpr/lpd pri nters, requiring that the host-based lpr/lpd approach be used.

On many UNIX systems, you can choose between host-resident printing or print server-regident printing. The following shows the differenc es between the two types of printing.

6-1 Printer-based lpd Configuration

Note

• The Network Card also operates with other host-resident print supervisor/spooler programs that provide a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed using Telnet, MAP, or a Web brow ser. The actual port is always one higher than the base port number. The status page indicates the actual port number.

With both the host-based and printer-based lpd, you must assign IP par a meter s to the Netwo r k C a rd. Se e Chapter 7 - Setting Up IP Parameters for more information.

6-1 Printer-based lpd Configuration

lpd/lpr is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon. It lets you print across a TCP/IP network without needing to install software on your workstation. All filtering and banners are done by the Network Card. Remote p rinting uses the same c ommands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.

An lpr reque st from a workstation refer en ces the remot e (rm ) en tr y in the

/etc /prin tcap

file, where it finds the printer on a remote system. lpr

The Network Card lpd recognizes the format of certain printer emulations and filters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer type you specify. Either of the follo wing two methods can be used to inform the Network Card lpd of what type of printer is connected.

1. Using the default port se tting (PCL, PostScript, etc.)

2. Using Te lnet or the Network Card HTML settings page to change the listed emu lation t ypes ( Network C ard HTML se ttings pa ge c an be accessed using MAP or a Web browser.)

You can also use other options in the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for detai ls.

Note

• The printer name must be the same as the one you specified during Network Card installation. HP also provides the sa m pro gram, which can be used to configure the printer.

If you use sam, make all specifications just as if the printer were connected directly to /dev/lprinter/<printer name>.

The software installed with your HP system should be sufficient to satisfy most printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters that are invoked automatically whenever PostScript is specified as the content type. The HP-UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that generate PostScript banners. When necessary, you can use the lpfilter command to define ne w filters and content types. The installation provides you with the full power and flexibility of the lp print service, and the fact that you are printing across the network is totally transparent.

Release 4/386 Base Machine

System V Solaris and SVR4 i386 base machines use a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter direct ly from the printer interfac e file. To load the software, create a

/usr/nic

and then tar the TCP/IP software into it.

1. Type the following to navigate to the

cd /usr/nic

/usr/nic

directory.

2. Next, type the following command to run the installation script:

nicinst

Once the operating system is identified, the script downl oads the applicable files to the

/usr/nic

directory and displays questions to

prompt you for the information it needs.

3. Type:

cd /usr/spool/lp/model/standard/usr/nic/ port1_interface

Note

• The default interface is genera lly sufficient for most PostScript, PCL, and ASCII f iles. To use a printer- specific interface other than the default interface script (named printer interface edited and installed in the

standar d

), you must have a copy of that

/usr/nic

directory.

6-2-7 SCO UNIX

The installation pr ocedure f or SCO UNI X is simil ar to that for HP-UX. The Network Card solution uses a networ k direct filter named nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.

6-2-8 AIX RISC System/6000

The AIX printing subsystem is drive n by the qdaemon program, which uses data in the to the proper devices. This information includes entries for each physical virtual printe r and physical device known to the syst em.

Simply stated, an AIX virtual printer is a high-level software view of a data stream, queue, and device that controls how a given job is to be processed. A different virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that is supported by a real printer. Even when PostScript and PCL jobs are destined for the same printer, for example, each job uses a different vir tual printer.

/usr/lpd/qconfig

file to manage queues and route jobs

Configuring a Network Card printer on an AIX system approximates configurati on of a local printer as nearly as possible. The one point where it differs is that the physical device only difference is that the physical devic e associated with the Network Card printer must be a named pipe used by the print daemon to route data to the Network Card.

The following sho ws the most straightforward way to add a printer to the system .

1. Type the following to run the inst al lation script:

5. Configure a virtual printer using <printer name> as the physical device. F or <printer name>, use the same printer name that you specifie d when installing the printer .

6. Use the following c ommand to shut down qdaemon.

stopsrc -s qdaemon

7. Edit

After this, the installation script creates a named pipe and starts up a print daemon based on the pr inter na me and Networ k Card inf ormation you supplied. The AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) does not accept the named pipe as a printer device, so the install script

6-2 Host-based lpd Configuration

6-2-8-1 Virtual Printer Commands

Vi rtual printers can be added using SMIT or by using the mkvirprt command. The device name printer name is entered for confirmation purposes. During this process, you a lso select a particular printer type for the new printer, which inherits the set of predefined attributes for that printer type. The set of attributes is suffic ient for most cases, but settings can be changed using SMIT or the chvirprt command. See the AIX RISC System/6000 documentation in cases where a printer requires even more extensive settings.

After adding a virtual pr inter, a stanza that looks lik e the following will be in /usr/opf/qconfig for device printer name.

Edit

file=/dev/ backend=/usr/lpd/piobe

file=/dev/<

file=/dev/nic/

. Output spooled on the pre viously specified virtua l printer is sent to the named pipe, and routed to the Network Card. Before editing the files named above, make sure the following daemon is running.
