Preparing the

Printer

Note

If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should generate one before you begin.

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 Network Interface Card in the option port, according to the printer manufacturer instructions.

Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices:

The Network Interface Card is designed to protect sensitive

components from damage due to electrostatic discharge

(ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation

procedures, however, take proper static control precautions to

prevent damage to equipment.

Installing the Network Interface Card

Powering Up

the Printer

Use the following procedures to power up the printer:

1. Plug in the power cord.

2. Turn on the power and wait for the printer to warm up. The printer may print out a status or start-up page (if this option is not disabled). The Network Interface Card then provides a print job to the printer which contains the Network Interface Card status information. Refer to Status Report (page 6-4) for more information.

3. Check the Network Interface Card status report. Record the serial number and the Ethernet address or save the status report. You need this information when you configure the printer for your network.

4. Power down the printer.

5. Connect the Ethernet cable between the Network Interface Card and a network drop.

Go to one or more of the appropriate chapters for instructions on configuring the network for the Network Interface Card.

Before configuring the NIC for NetWare, you must determine if the NIC has its desired name. If you want to change the name, use NIManage to change the name. Refer to Using the NIManage Utility (page 3-28) for more details.

The following steps are the general procedure for configuring the NIC. You must have supervisor privileges to do this configuration. These steps are covered in detail in the following paragraphs:

1. Start PCONSOLE and select the file server you want to use.

2. Create the print queues.

3. Specify the <print server> card as a print server.

4. Configure the print server and printer.

5. Assign the print queues.

6. Set up the NOTIFY options.

7. Repeat the procedure for other file servers.

When you are finished, turn the printer off and on again. The printer creates a status report that indicates the fileservers to which the unit is attached and the queues which it services.

Before you begin:

 Verify that you have supervisor privileges on the file

servers on which the NIC print server is to be entered.

 Verify that your version of PCONSOLE is later than 1.0.

Configuring NetWare 2.15 and 3.1x

Install the Print

Server on Multiple

File Servers

When the NIC 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 primary 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).

The NIManage for Windows program also allows the operator to identify a preferred file server, which is identified within the NIC itself. If a preferred file server is listed, the NIC will first attach to this identified file server before 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 NIC will connect directly to these file servers and will bypass any automatic search.

Installing the

Printer on

Multiple File

Servers

To install the print server on more than one file server, perform the procedures 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 NIC using the NIManage program. Refer to Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services (page 3-17). 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.

Chapter 3: NetWare Configuration ❖ 3-11

Configuring NetWare 2.15 and 3.1x

 If you assign a preferred file server via NIManage or SNMP, the

print server on coming up will try to locate that file server without

doing any general search and, if listed as a print server device on

Note

that file server, will remain attached to that file server.

 If you have identified other file servers to be serviced for that

print server, and the appropriate file exists, the print server will

attempt to attach to each of the other file servers listed, up to the

maximum capacity of the print server.

 If you assign a primary (preferred) file server and it contains no

additional file servers in its list (i.e., contains no file listing file

servers to be serviced), and the (preferred) file server is up, then

the NIC should stop after finding that file server and not perform

the general file server discovery process.

 If the primary (preferred) file server is assigned and unavailable

(e.g., server down or the print server is not configured on the file

server, or due to network conditions, the file server was not

located), the Novell portion of the print server will sleep for 5 (or

so) minutes and then retry to establish the connection. Any other

protocols configured should run normally. This retry will continue

indefinitely; there will be no search.

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 if each file server to be serviced and press to add it to the File Servers To Be Serviced list.

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

5. Install the NIC on each of the primary file servers.

Confirm Bindery

Context

Novells NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes  NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services, see Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services (page 3-17). These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The NIC may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services). When configured under NDS, the NIC will also service older fileservers operating in bindery mode.

If the NIC is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery

Services mode is not running, the NIC can not find its file

servers, and the status page indicates the Novell NetWare

protocol is not active.

Disable Bindery if operating only in the NDS mode.

Before installing the NIC 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 NIC 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 4.0x 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 AUTOEXEC.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.

The command at the console prompt takes effect

immediately. The definition in the file takes effect when the

Using the NIManage Utility

Hints to Running

NIManage

NIManage includes extensive help screens. The features of this utility are not explicitly covered in this manual. However, this section provides some information about the significance of certain provisions and the ramifications of certain settings.

Startup

NIManage is started up like any Windows program. It first checks the NetWare connectivity. Any problems with the NetWare driver are immediately displayed. It then checks the administrative level of the user and reports this on the screen. If you do not have supervisor or administrator level permissions on the file server to which you are attached, NIManage access will be restricted to read-only access and non state-changing tests. If you have supervisor level access, you may modify the setup of any accessible print server.

Select Device

The program then prompts you to select a print server NIC (NIC) to be accessed from a list of compatible print servers. The print servers are listed by their SAP identification string derived from their serial number. The identification string appear in the form XRX_123456. You can find this identification name on the Print Server status sheet. Since this list is derived from the SAP broadcasts of each unit, even units that are not installed as NetWare print servers will appear.

Show Detail will access the highlighted unit to obtain print server characteristics including assigned name and firmware revision. Show All will access all units on a network with many compatible print servers. Show All may take a long time to complete. If the print server has not been assigned a new name, its default name is not displayed.

A print server is selected by double-clicking on the corresponding entry, or by highlighting the entry and clicking on OK. When it is accessed, a product description string is displayed. Click on OK. After a print server device has been

Chapter 3: NetWare Configuration ❖ 3-29

Using the NIManage Utility

selected, the main menu string and the icon tool bar is displayed. Selecting a menu header will bring down a specific set of options, most of which are self explanatory. Options that are grayed out are not accessible.

File

Under File, the Execute NSUpdate operation is displayed. This operation permits launch of the utility to download updated executable code to the flash memory in the print servers. An installable version of this program is distributed, with the flash image to be downloaded, only when an update is provided. Attempting to launch the program if it has not been loaded will produce an explanatory message to the effect that the program could not be found.

Protocols

The Setup Protocols operations allows setting up NetWare print server options, and AppleTalk and TCP/IP parameters. Setup Protocols provides extensive access to NetWare print server parameters, both for bindery and NDS-based systems. Setup also allows you to disable/enable AppleTalk and TCP/ IP, and to setup IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).

Novell parameters include:

 Print Server Name  This allows a more descriptive

name to be given to the print server. If a name is entered here, this newly assigned name must be the one by which the print server is installed in file servers or contexts (using PCONSOLE or NW Admin). However, NIManage will continue to locate the print server by the NIC name: XRX_123456.

 Preferred File Server Name  The operator may enter

the name of the file server to which the NIC should attach to first. This name can be keyed in directly, or can be chosen from a pulled-down list of accessible file servers. The pull-down list is limited to 1200 entries, and only the

3-30 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

Using the NIManage Utility

first 1200 file servers located will be listed. Therefore, if there are more than 1200 file servers accessed and the desired one is not listed, the name should be typed in.

The ability to define a Preferred File Server is useful in large systems where the NIC file-server-search process is time consuming, and in systems where the file server to be serviced is beyond the 4-hop/8 tick search radius. Once the NIC attaches to the preferred file server, it will start the search process for other file servers unless the preferred file server has been set up as a primary file server.

A primary file server is one which contains a file indicating the file servers to be serviced by the print server. If a NIC locates such a file (either in a preferred file server or in a file server found via a search), the NIC will attach directly to the listed file server(s) (and only the listed file servers), and will not search for any others. The combination of preferred and primary file servers is effective in minimizing the time for a NIC to come up on a Novell network. The preferred and primary file server concepts are applicable only to bindery-based systems and will have no effect on NDS setup.

 Password  The password can be assigned here, and

must be used consistently in all file servers or contexts in which the print server is installed.

 Ethernet Frame Type  If the subject NIC is an Ethernet

card, part of its startup is an automatic search to determine the frame type used for NetWare on the subject LAN. It will sequentially try 802.3, Ethernet II, and so on until it finds a NetWare frame type in use, and will then lock onto that frame type. If the network has multiple frame types being used, setting this parameter to the desired frame type will cause the search to start with the selected frame type. If that frame type is found, there is no search.

Chapter 3: NetWare Configuration ❖ 3-31

Using the NIManage Utility

 Scan Rate  Once during a scan process, the NIC will

check all assigned queues for new print products to be extracted and printed (provided it is not currently servicing a queue). A slow scan rate will increase the latency of a job sitting in the queue. A fast scan rate will increase background network traffic.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-1

Overview

This chapter explains how to configure the Network Interface Card (NIC) and your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various environments. Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows systems and for most popular UNIX systems. The NIC TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port. This port number defaults to 10001, but may be changed to any desired number using the Telnet utility or SNMP. The section Running TELNET (page 5-47) describes the interactive setup capability accessible through the Telnet utility on any TCP/IP platform, and is equally applicable to Windows, UNIX, and other TCP/IP environments.

Installation in a Windows Environment

Installation in

a Windows

Environment

Windows for

Workgroups

The several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows may be used on a NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as in a native Microsoft Windows network. This flexibility allows various options for setting up the network printing system even though this NIC does not support Netbeui. If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare network, configure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use standard Windows/NetWare utilities to provide access to the printer. If NetWare is not to be used, the users may access the printer using TCP/IP. The following sections describe installation using TCP/IP under Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT.

Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/ IP capability and the corresponding spooler, lpr; or that the workstation can share an lpr queue on a Windows NT server (for example) that has one. In general, if printers are not shared, an lpr queue must be created on each workstation from which printing is initiated. See the Windows documentation about sharing printers.

Windows for Workgroups does not normally come with TCP/ IP. However, various TCP/IP facilities are available for Windows for Workgroups workstations, including a free TCP/ IP provided by Microsoft. There are third party lpr spoolers available. The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP and a shareware lpr application that is available from various sources, including the NIC manufacturer. You will need the files WFWTCP32.zip and

WFWTCP32.txt for the TCP/IP, and wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr.

You will need the BOOTPL.exe file if you wish to use the BOOTP Lite program to set up IP parameters. The BOOTPL.exe file is provided with the NIC on the NIManage for Windows diskette.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-3

Installation in a Windows Environment

Installing TCP/IP

Follow the instructions in the text file for the TCP/IP stack to set up TCP/IP on the workstations. These instructions are copyright by Microsoft and cannot be included here.

Loading the lpr Spooler

The Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 - Users Guide (wlprspl.txt), provides detailed instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware lpr spooler.

Setting up the NIC

The NIC must be given IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with NIManage for Windows if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with NIManage for Macintosh if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP Lite program.

Prior to running these programs, install the NIC in your printer. Power -up the printer. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the Protocol address is not configured. If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you can Telnet to the unit to change the IP parameters.

Assigning IP Address with ARP

This procedure uses the BOOTP protocol. The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.

5-4 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

Installation in a Windows Environment

Use the procedures in Assigning IP Address with BOOTP Lite if you need to use BootP Lite to configure the IP address instead of ARP:

1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box.

2. At the command prompt enter:

ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server]; the identified unit should reply

arp -s [IP address of NIC] [MAC Address of NIC]; the entry should be accepted

ping [IP address of NIC]; request should time out

3. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the NIC reset itself. The NIC will produce a status page that should include the entered IP address.

4. When the NIC is up again, type the following at the command prompt:

ping [IP address of NIC] (continue until you get a reply)

Note

This this only enters the IP address; you must use the Telnet

facility. See Running TELNET (page 5-47) for instructions

on how to enter the other IP parameters.

Assigning IP Address with BOOTP Lite

This program uses the BOOTP protocol. The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-5

Installation in a Windows Environment

The BOOTPL.exe program will work with a 16 Bit TCP/IP Stack (FTP, NetManage, B&W, or WFWG).

1. Copy the BOOTPL.exe file to the Windows directory of your workstation.

2. Reset the printer.

The NIC issues the BOOTP request for a finite period of time.

The print server must be freshly reset for this program to

work.

Note

3. From Program Manager under File, select Run \windows\ BOOTPL.exe.

4. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option.

5. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the NIC, its Subnet Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet), the Default Gateway (your routers IP address), and the MAC address of the NIC (Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as Ethernet Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet rather than the dashes that Windows uses.

6. Click on Go. You will get a message that the program is Verifying, and then it will tell you whether the unit is active or not.

7. Wait for about five minutes for the NIC to reset. The Status sheet should report the newly entered IP information.

8. Enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:

ping [IP address of NIC] (continue until you get a reply)

5-6 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

Installation in a Windows Environment

If it does not respond, verify that TCP/IP is enabled on the status sheet. If the status sheet does not show the IP information, then repeat the above procedures.

Setting up IP and lpr Parameters

The NIC provides for a setup connection via the standard Telnet port. To be able to make changes to a unit with factory default settings, you must logon as sysadm. The default password is also sysadm (This password can be changed from the Telnet utility). The section Running TELNET (page 5-47) describes the use of the Telnet utility.

1. Telnet to the NIC (the login and password are both sysadm).

2. Turn off the protocols that you are not utilizing (option 3).

3. Setup the subnet mask and default gateway for the NIC if applicable (menu option 1). (If you used BOOTP, this will already have been done).

4. Exit, Save and Reset the NIC

Creating an lpr Queue on the Workstation

Once you install the spooler onto the workstation, the setup program will create a group and icon.

1. Double click on the spooler icon.

2. Click on setup, and define a new queue.

3. At the Remote Host Name prompt:

Enter the NIC IP Address, and enter PORT1 for the Remote Printer Name

Installation in a Windows Environment

Microsoft Windows 95

Windows 95 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client also requires an lpr utility. This program is available from various sources. The lpr queue can be created on each workstation or the lpr queue can be created on one workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95 workstations can also share a lpr printer installed on an Windows NT server on the network.

The following instructions are based on the a shareware lpr application that is available from various sources, including the NIC manufacturer. You will need the wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr.

If you wish to use the Bootp Lite program, you will also need the NTBOOTP.exe and NTBOOTP.txt file provided with this NIC on the NIManage for Windows diskette.

Loading the lpr Spooler

The Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 - Users Guide (wlprspl.txt) provides detailed instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware lpr spooler.

Setting up the NIC

1. Install the NIC in your printer.

2. Power-up the printer.

Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol address is not configured.

Installation in a Windows Environment

If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you can Telnet to the unit to change the IP parameters.

Assigning IP Address with ARP

This procedure uses the BOOTP protocol. The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.

You can use NTBOOTP Lite to configure the IP address instead of ARP.

1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:

ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server]. The identified unit should reply.

arp -s [IP address of the NIC] [MAC Address of the NIC]. The entry should be accepted

Note

ping [IP address of the NIC]. Request should time out.

2. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the NIC reset itself. The NIC will produce a status page that should include the entered IP address.

3. When the NIC is up again, at the command prompt, enter:

ping [IP address of NIC] (continue until you get a reply).

This this only enters the IP address. You must use the Telnet

facility, as described in the section Running TELNET

(page 5-47), to enter the other IP parameters.

Installation in a Windows Environment

Assigning IP Address with ntBOOTP

You may provide the IP address and other IP parameters to the printer NIC on 32 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT & Windows 95) using the NTBOOTP.exe program. You will have to store the ntBOOTP.exe file in the Windows directory.

This program uses the BOOTP protocol. The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.

1. Reset the printer.

The NIC issues the BOOTP request for a finite period of time.

The print server must be freshly reset for this program to

work.

Note

2. From Program Manager under File, select Run ntBOOTP.exe.

3. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option.

Instructions

Note

Windows NT (version 3.5 or higher) does come with TCP/IP and lpr capabilities, although these must be installed when the unit is configured. You must install the TCP/IP Protocol, Simple TCP/IP Services, and Microsoft TCP/IP Printing prior to entering the network printer on the workstation.

Once you have lpr installed on an Windows NT Server

workstation and have allowed printer sharing, other

workstations may use the printer through the Microsoft

Windows Network without having to have separate lpr

queues installed on each workstation.

If you wish to use ntBOOTP, you will need the ntBOOTP.exe

file. This file is on the NIManage for Windows diskettes

supplied with the NIC.

Setting Up the NIC

The NIC must be given an IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with NIManage for Windows if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with NIManage for Macintosh if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the ntBOOTP program.

1. Install the NIC in your printer.

2. Power-up the printer.

5-16 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

UNIX Printing

The NIC can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:

 Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is

run on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the NIC via a TCP/IP port or,

 Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host

running a line printer daemon.

 In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD

UNIX systems, requiring an entry in the printcap file once the NIC has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of remote LPD printers, requiring that the host-based LPD approach be used. For many operating systems, you have the option of using host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. Each mode has certain advantages.

 The host-resident method can print the username and

filename on its banner page; the print server-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name.

 The print server-resident method requires you to

configure the printer only one time, when you install the print server. The host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.

Note

The NIC will also operate with other host-resident print

supervisor/spooler programs that present a print image to the

printer over a TCP/IP port. See Running TELNET

(page 5-47) for instructions on how to change the port number

to that used by such applications.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-17

UNIX Printing

Between the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabilities, the NIC works with:

 All UNIX systems that support lpd

 System V Rel. 4 (on 386 platforms)

 DEC ULTRIX RISC Versions 4.3 and 4.4

 DEC OSF/1 Versions 2.0 and 3.0

The TCP/IP diskette also includes source code that you can recompile host-based code for configuring on other System V platforms.

Configuring the IP

Address on the NIC

5-18 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

Regardless of the printing mode selected, the NIC must be given IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP address for the NIC in one of the following ways:

 Use NIManage for Windows, as described in

Chapter 3: NetWare Configuration.

 Use NIManage for Macintosh, as described in

Chapter 4: EtherTalk Configuration.

 Use the Internet Boot Protocol (BOOTP).

 Use the reverse ARP (rarp) capability (Ethernet II frame

type only).

 Use a reverse ping capability.

UNIX Printing

For each method, you provide the Ethernet address of the NIC. The Ethernet address is the 12-character code that is printed on the configuration status report each time the printer is turned on.

You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the print server is in its factory default state (no IP information entered.) After the print server has an IP address, you must use the Telnet utility or, the NIManage utility and the NIManage for the Macintosh to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.

Using BOOTP

The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP address of a diskless network device. To communicate the IP address, use the following procedure:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use the Telnet utility to change the IP address. See Running TELNET (page 5-47) for instructions on using Telnet.

3. Find the Ethernet address of the NIC. The address is printed on the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.

4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and NIC's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a NIC named printfast with an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the following entry:

192.9.200.200 printfast

5. Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-19

UNIX Printing

6. Edit the /etc/BOOTPtab file and add the following information:

nic_host:\

:ht = hardware type:\

:ha = ethernet address:\

:ip = IP address:\

:sm = subnet mask:\

:gw = gateway address:

For example, for an RFC 1048 system:

printfast:\

:ht = ether:\

:ha = 0040AF03AF6E:\

:ip = 192.9.200.200:\

:sm = 255.0.0.0:\

:gw = 192.9.200.10:\

If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add:

:vm = rfc1048:

The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 system:

host htype haddr iaddr bootfile

printfast 1 00:40:af:03:af:6e 192.9.200.200 defaultboot

7. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing: bootpd -s

8. Check the printer to verify that the NIC is connected to the network. Turn on the printer.

9. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP address to become known

5-20 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

UNIX Printing

and to be saved in non-volatile memory. The NIC should reinitialize itself.

10. After the NIC has reinitialize, send a ping command to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. For example:

ping 192.9.200.200

If the print server has the address, the result is a confirmation message:

192.9.200.200 is alive

11. Remove, or comment out, your changes to the /etc/ BOOTPtab file.

12. Stop the BOOTP daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

Using rarp

The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. For this procedure, there needs to be a workstation with a rarp server. To store the IP address, use the following procedure:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use the Telnet procedure (See Running TELNET (page 5-47) for instructions on using Telnet) to adjust the IP parameters for the subnet on which the NIC is to operate.

3. Find the Ethernet address of the NIC. The address is printed on the configuration status report when you power on the printer.

4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP Address and NICs node name. See the

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-21

UNIX Printing

network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with the name of printfast has the following entry:

192.9.200.200 printfast

5. Edit the /etc/ethers file or use NIS or DIS to add the Ethernet address. To continue the example, for the printfast card with an Ethernet address of 00:40:c8:00:00:ff, make the following entry:

0:40:c8:0:0:ff printfast

6. If the rarp daemon is running, stop it and restart it. Verify that the daemon is running.

7. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network. Turn on the printer.

8. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in non-volatile memory. The NIC should then reset itself.

9. After the NIC has reset, send a ping command to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. For example:

ping 192.9.200.200

If the print server has the address, the result is a confirmation message:

192.9.200.200 is alive

10. Remove, or comment out, your changes to the /etc/ethers file.

11. Stop the rarp daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

Using ping

Use the following procedure to enter the IP Address:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another

5-22 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use Telnet to change the IP address. See Running TELNET (page 5-47) for instructions on using Telnet.

3. Find the Ethernet address of the NIC. The address is printed on the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.

4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and [print server's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP address of

192.9.200.200 has the following entry:

192.9.200.200 printfast

5. Add an entry to the arp cache for the print server's IP address and Ethernet address. For example:

arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff

6. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network. Turn on the printer.

7. Send a ping command the NIC to verify it is running on the network. For example:

ping 192.9.200.200 or ping printfast

The NIC will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP address from the packets.

8. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command again to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. If the print server has the address, the result is a confirmation message:

192.9.200.200 is alive

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-23

UNIX Printing

9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command. Specify the print server either by its IP address or by its name. For example:

arp -d printfast

lpd Printing

lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation with all filtering and banners done by NIC. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.

The process begins when the lpr call finds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/ printcap file for that printer. lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control information for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control file and its own printcap file.

NIC lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer emulations and filters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer type you specify. You can indicate to the NIC lpd what type of printer is attached to by either:

1. Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or

2. Changing the listed emulations via the Telnet utility.

The following sections give specifics lpd setup instructions for various systems.

Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd

To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to NIC using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on your host for each printer you use. The steps are described below.

5-24 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

UNIX Printing

1. Open the /etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the NIC as the remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical printcap entry is shown below:

<printer_name>\ (for example, lprprinter)

:lp=:\

:rm=<remote_host>:\ (for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)

:rp=PORT1:\

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>: (for example, spool directory on system used to spool data and control files)

This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/ <printer_name> to the printer designated <printer_name> to be printed at port 1 (the internal connection to the printer) of the NIC designated as <remote_host>.

2. Create the spooling directory. For example, type:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>

3. To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type:

5. Is lprprinter1 a remote printer or a local printer? Type: R

6. Enter remote host name: type host name entered in printcap for NIC. For example, type: lprprinter

7. Confirm the information you have entered. Type: Y

8. Confirm the preceding connection as your system default. Type: Y

9. Enter another printer name or quit setup. Type: Q

10. Do you want to start the remote daemon now? Type: Y

11. Using a line editor of your choice, edit the /etc/printcap file by changing the :rp= entry to PORT1. For example,

printer1:\

:lp=:\ (used to specify the device name for a local printer; this field must be empty)

:rm=lprprinter:\ (remote machine name or network name of the print server)

:rp=PORT1:\ (remote printer name or the name of the print server)

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer1: (name of the spool directory on the client)

Setting Up System V Release 4 and Solaris 2.X to Use lpd

If your system recognizes the LPSYSTEM command, you can use lpd. Another option is the admintool if your system supports it.

LPSYSTEM Installation

Use the following procedures to install LPSYSTEM:

The following must be executed from the Bourne Shell. Type:

SH to enter the Bourne Shell program.

1. lpsystem -t bsd

Enter NIC host name in /etc/hosts file. Your system may want its IP address instead of the remote host name.

2. lpadmin -p <local printername> -s <remote host name or IP address>!PORT#

Note

Installing TCP/IP

for NIC If Not

Running lpd

There is no space after the remote host name. The #

represents the port number for that printer. For example,

PORT1.

3. Enable <local printername>

4. Accept <local printername>

The TCP/IP diskette provided with the NIC includes install scripts for various UNIX systems. This section describes how to install TCP/IP printing to the NIC on any of the following operating systems:

 DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC

 System V Rel. 4

 Solaris (Ver. 1.x, 2.x)

 SCO UNIX

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-31

UNIX Printing

 OSF1/ALPHA

 IBM AIX

 HP/UX

Once the NIC has its IP information loaded, the following steps are necessary for Host-Side TCP/IP printing:

1. Load the print server software on your workstation. It is presented as a tar file on the TCP/IP diskette.

2. Run the appropriate installation script, if available.

3. Complete the configuration for your operating system.

Loading the Software

The following procedures are only necessary when using the supplied host-based lpr capability. Loading the software is not necessary if printer-based lpr is used.

1. Log in as superuser to the system that spools directly to the print server.

2. Insert the print server's TCP/IP diskette in the host drive.

3. Go to or create the directory in which you want to install the software. For example:

mkdir /usr/PSC_install

If you already have a NIC printer at your site and you are now

installing another one, delete the files in the installation

directory (not /usr/nic). If these files remain, they can prevent

Note

5-32 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

the installation of a subsequent print server.

4. Use the tar command to load the software from the diskette. Choose your UNIX version from the example

Note

UNIX Printing

from the following table, or if not shown, consult the man page for your system:

BSD/ULTRIX/AIX/SCO tar -xvf/dev/rfd0

System V tar -xvf/dev/rdsk/f13ht

System V/Solaris 2.3 tar -xvf/dev/rdiskette

The device name varies depending on the computer and its

peripheral designations. The first BSD floppy device is often

called rfd0.

1. After performing the tar, the system will display a list of NIC files copied by the tar. At this point, go to the specific section for your system for instructions on running the installation script.

Script Selection of Filters

There will be certain options in executing the script for various systems. The installation script can create an entry in the /etc/printcap file for your printer:

ASCII, PCLfiles

One of the questions posed by the install script is whether the printer is a PostScript printer. If you answered no to this question, the install script uses an input filter (infilter) that supplies CR/LF translation to print ASCII files on a PCL printer. If you answered yes to this question, your printcap file will reference psfilter which offers easy ASCII-to-PostScript conversion. Normal PostScript format files are not affected. Proprietary and public domain filters are available for broader filtering capabilities.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-33

UNIX Printing

Manual Selection of Filters

The NIC ships with an input filter called psfilter and an output filter called psbanner to print PostScript banners.

You may wish to change infilter or outfilter entries in the / etc/printcap file. The following is a sample printcap entry using these filters:

<print_name> | NIC printer:\

:lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\

:if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\

:of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\

:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

Installing and Printing on Ver. 1 Solaris and OSF1 Systems

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct NIC utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example: printfast and press .

3. What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name and press .

4. Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script. For example:

Node name of the NIC: printfast

Printer name to be used: <printer_name>

The printer is attached on: PORT 1

You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press .

5-34 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

UNIX Printing

5. Is this printer PostScript?

Type yes or no and press .

6. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured. The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap file. See below for a sample printcap file. Type yes or no and press

. If you type no, you may perform manual edits.

In your /etc/printcap file, be sure not to change the name of the device given NIC in Step 2. You must reference the same lp: entry you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap file. For example:

<printer_name> | NIC printer:\

:lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\

:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\

:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

All printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab except for the entry on the first line.

7. The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the daemon for the newly configured printer. It also displays the path used if you ever need to restart the daemon. For example:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer_name> printfast 10001 &

8. Run the ps command so that you can view all your lpd processes.

Type: ps -ax | grep lpd

9. Kill all of your lpd processes. Type: kill -9 <Process ID> (this will stop ALL

printing).

10. Restart the daemon.

Type: /use/lib/lpd

7. Installation for the system is done. The program prompts you to configure any more printers. Type yes or no and press . We suggest pinging the NIC to test communications.

Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the /etc/printcap file to configure a printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for all BSD systems, however, the printcap entry is different.

If you use the printcap entry generated automatically by the installation script, this will be transparent to you.

Installing and Printing on the HP/UX System

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct NIC utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example, printfast and press .

3. What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name and press .

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-37

UNIX Printing

4. Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script. For example:

Node name of the NIC: printfast

Printer name to be used: <printer_name>

The printer is attached on: PORT 1

You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press .

5. Is this printer PostScript?

Type yes or no and press .

6. The script starts the daemon for the newly configured printer automatically. It also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the following example, the path would be:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 &

This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier.

When the installation script is complete, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. The HP/UX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a printer (there is not a /etc/printcap file). The specific commands to do this are:

lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/nic/printer_name

enable printer_name

accept printer_name

You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for details.

5-38 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

Note

UNIX Printing

The printer name must be the same as the one you entered

during the NIC installation. HP supplies the sam program as

an alternative to configure the printer.

When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/lprprinter/printer_name.

The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system will invoke them automatically if you define the content type of the printer as PostScript. The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter command to define new filters and content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now available to you. The fact that you are printing across the network is completely transparent.

Installing and Printing on a System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V Rel. 4 386-based Machine

Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4 i386-based machines. Solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.

After completing software download in the section Loading the Software (page 5-32) you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system.

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct NIC utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-39

UNIX Printing

2. Select your system. Choose one from these options:

1) AT&T/SVR4; 386

2) SCO UNIX System V

3) None of the above

Type 1, 2, or 3 and press .

3. You have now installed TCP/IP on the NIC. Copy your interface file (/usr/nic is a good place to keep your copy).

4. You must edit the printer interface program this printer uses to redirect output to the NIC. You can then configure your printer using lpadmin.

In most cases you will use the default interface script named standard (usually found in the /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/model directory). Sometimes you may wish to use an interface tuned to a specific printer. You must have a copy of the of the interface file for the port you want to initialize. For example:

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

Most Version 2 Solaris machines have a shell variable called FILTER that you can changed to invoke nicfilter. A typical example is:

FILTER="/usr/nic/infilter | /usr/nic/nicfilter \

PSC_name 10001 ${nobanner} \

${user_name} ${request_id} ${files}"

You must specify the NIC name (PSC_name) and NIC port (10001) for nicfilter to connect to the NIC unit. The name must be the same one that you entered in /etc/hosts for this NIC.

The remaining arguments are optional. nicfilter uses them to produce a high quality banner. The lp print service user name, request id, file names and options always passes to the interface file. They will be available in any interface script as shell variables, although they may have different names.

5-40 ❖ DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide

Note

UNIX Printing

If you disable banners in the lp command, the system will set the ${nobanner} option to yes. This will suppress the NIC banner generation.

If you don't define the FILTER shell variable in your interface file, you can usually modify it to pipe data to nicfilter. The simplest way to accomplish this is to enclose the entire script in parentheses and pipe it to nicfilter, using the arguments described above.

If you wish to use the banner generated by the interface file, simply omit the last four arguments.

These arguments are shell variables from the interface file.

They may have different names (names used above are from

the standard interface file supplied with most Version 2 and

i386 systems).

Installing & Printing on a SCO UNIX System

Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems. The NIC solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.

After completing software download in the section Loading the Software (page 5-32) you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. Follow the steps below:

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct NIC utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

Chapter 5: TCP/IP Configuration ❖ 5-41

UNIX Printing

2. Select your system. Choose one from these options:

1) AT&T/SVR4; 386

2) SCO UNIX System V

3) None of the above

Type 1, 2, or 3 and press .

3. What is the node name of the NIC?

Type the name assigned in the /etc/hosts file and press

. For example, printfast

4. What is the printer name for this NIC-linked printer?

Type a printer name and press .

5. Your screen will now display the information you provided the install script. For example:

Node name of the NIC: printfast

Printer name to be used: <printer_name>

The printer is attached on: PORT1

Do you want to accept this configuration? Type yes or no and press .

6. Is this printer PostScript?

Type yes or no and press .

7. The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured printer . It also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the preceding example, the path would be:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 &

This example reflects names supplied the script earlier.

When the installation script is complete, you must still configure the printer and make it known to the lp system.

The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a printer (there is no /etc/printcap file).
