NetWare Direct Notes ..................................................................... 30

The Splash DC Series Server makes it easy for clients on a TCP/IP or Novell NetWare network to print to the Xerox or Fuji Xerox copier. No AppleTalk bridge software is needed.

For IPX printing from Novell NetWare, Splash creates a native Novell IPX connection from the Splash Server to the Novell server. NetWare Direct delivers print jobs from a print queue on the Novell NetWare server to the Splash Server for processing. Once NetWare Direct is set up and activated, it operates automatically on the Splash Server each time a Novell client prints to the designated queue on the Novell server. Splash NetWare Direct is simple to set up and supports all Novell Ethernet frame types.

When TCP/IP Direct is enabled at the Splash Server , the server becomes a network printer. Splash accepts LPR/LPD print jobs and jobs from TCP/IP print queues set up on Windows NT or Novell NetWare servers. In addition, clients on a TCP/IP network can send TIFF, EPS, PDF, and text based PostScript ﬁles to the Splash Server for printing.

Setting Up Network Printing to Splash Page 9

All software needed for both TCP/IP and IPX printing is automatically installed when you install the Splash Server software (pre-installed on Splash DC Servers). The Enterprise Networking software includes one control panel and four system extension ﬁles, which are automatically installed in the Mac OS System Folder during Splash installation.

Setting Up TCP/IP Direct Printing to Splash

This section describes how to set up the Splash Server to receive print jobs from clients on a TCP/IP network. To do this you need to connect the Splash Server to the TCP/IP network using the appropriate network cable, and set up the TCP/IP control panel. You can then enable TCP/IP print services in the Splash Server application preferences.

Note:

TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk networking can all run simultaneously on the same cable, or on different cables. For example, you can run AppleT alk networking on Ethernet and IPX networking on TokenRing at the same time.

Conﬁguring the TCP/IP Control Panel

Use the TCP/IP control panel to set up an Internet address for the Splash Server. You will need to assign the Splash Server a static Internet address so clients can reliably locate the Splash Server on the network. (A static IP address is required if you set up the server to use the Splash Web Queue Manager option.)

Before you begin, you need to have all address information available. Obtain a static Internet address (and subnet mask number if needed) and name server address from your network administrator.

Page 10 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

To set up an Internet address for the Splash Server:

At the Splash Server, point to Control Panels in the Apple menu, then select TCP/IP in the submenu.

The TCP/IP control panel appears.

Choose the network connection type for the Splash Server’ s TCP/IP netw ork in the

Enabling TCP/IP Printing at the Splash Server

After you set up the TCP/IP control panel, you can enable TCP/IP direct printing in the Splash Server application. To do this:

Start the Splash Server application.

Choose Enterprise Networking from the Server menu. The TCP/IP Direct window appears.

Note:

The NetWare Direct window appears also when you choose Enterprise Networking. For information about how to use the NetWare Direct window to set up Splash for IPX printing, see page 24.

Setting TCP/IP Direct Options

You can select the following options in the TCP/IP Direct window.

Note:

These options are unavailable when TCP/IP is enabled. To change an option,

ﬁrst click Disable.

Parse For Document Owner Name

■

When selected, the Document Owner name is extracted from each print job as it is received at the Splash Server. When this option is not selected, Enterprise Networking determines the user name from the network connection.

■

Append UNIX Hostname to User Name

When selected, the network host name is added to the print job’s owner name that appears in the print queue and job log at the Splash Server. For example, when the user “Diane” prints from the UNIX host “Santana” the print job’s owner name is “Diane@Santana.” When this option is not selected, the print job’s owner name is “Diane.” For most situations, do not select this option.

Note:

This option is useful for UNIX environments where all users share the

same username, such as “root.”

Setting Up Network Printing to Splash Page 13

Restricting TCP/IP Printing to Speciﬁc Machines

The Splash Server can be set up to accept TCP/IP print jobs from only the machines you specify in the “Hosts.LPD” ﬁle. This ﬁle is located in the Extras folder within the Splash Folder on the Splash Server. You can edit the Hosts.LPD ﬁle with any text editor (such as SimpleText) to enable TCP/IP printing from only speciﬁc host names, IP addresses, or ranges of IP addresses. This allows print access control at the individual, group, and subnet levels. Speciﬁc examples of how to set up host names are provided in the Hosts.LPD ﬁle on the Splash Server.

Setting Up a Novell Server Print Queue

This section describes how to set up a print queue on a Novell NetWare server for printing to Splash using TCP/IP. The PCONSOLE Quick Setup option creates a print queue object, a printer object, and a print server if one does not exist. To set up a Novell NetWare print queue:

From a workstation, log in to the server as a user with sufﬁcient privileges to create a print queue (Admin or Supervisor).

From the client workstation, run PCONSOLE.EXE in SYS:PUBLIC (D:\PUBLIC).

Note:

The root directory name or drive may be different for your computer.

Select “Quick Setup.” PCONSOLE prompts you for information about the print queue.

Enter a Print Server name if prompted for one.

Enter Print Queue and Printer names.

Specify the print Queue volume.

Choose the banner type (“No banner” is the recommended setting).

Be sure to set the Printer Type ﬁeld to “UNIX printer.” This causes the host name and printer name ﬁelds to appear.

Enter the Host Name for the Splash Server (the name server address speciﬁed in the TCP/IP control panel at the Splash Server) or the static IP address for the server .

10.

Enter the Printer Name “SplashLPD” when prompted.

11.

Press Enter to complete setup. PCONSOLE prompts you to save the new print queue settings. Choose Yes.

Page 14 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Novell NetWare print queue setup for the Splash Server is complete.

Setting Up a Windows NT Server Print Queue for Splash

This section describes how to set up a TCP/IP print queue for Splash on a computer running Microsoft W indows NT (4.0 or later). You can set up the Splash print queue on either a Windows NT Server or a Windows NT Workstation system.

After the Splash TCP/IP print queue setup is complete, it becomes easy for other Windows NT and Windows 95/98 clients on the network to use the print queue to send jobs to Splash.

Note:

You must set up and enable TCP/IP Direct at the Splash Server before you can set up an LPR print queue for Splash on W indo ws NT. W indo ws NT will report an error during print queue setup if the Splash Server is not identiﬁed as an LPD server on the network.

Activating NetWare Direct at Startup

You activate NetWare Direct from the Splash Server application. In the Server menu choose Preferences, click the Network button, then select the “Enable Enterprise Networking” checkbox. This opens and connects NetWare Direct when the Splash Server application starts, and disconnects and closes NetWare Direct when the Server application is closed. NetWare Direct runs in the background while the Server application is running. When a PC client workstation sends a print job to the Splash print queue on the Novell ﬁle server, NetWare Direct automatically opens and delivers the print job to the Splash Server.

Note: The NetWare Direct setup window does not need to be open for NetWare Direct to run.

To deactivate NetWare Direct, uncheck the Enable Enterprise Networking checkbox in the Server Network Preferences.

Note: If NetWare Direct is not set up and opened, jobs sent to the designated Splash print queue on the Novell server are held at the Novell server. To have these jobs processed by the Splash Server, NetWare Direct must be opened.
