Even though the entire print set up is done through PCONSOLE, you may
want to communicate directly with the print server in order to modify
settings, monitor the unit, etc. To communicate with the print server, the
optional host software,
npsh.exe , may be used. npsh.exe is a DOS
executable program that can be run from a DOS prompt on a NetWare
workstation.
npsh.exe performs the following:
npsh nvplist
Lists all of the NIC devices on the network; each name is in the default
format M_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx equals the last six digits of the unit
Ethernet address). This is regardless of whether it is configured as a
PSERVER or an RPRINTER.
npsh unitname
Starts a Telnet-like session with the named print server, allowing you to
configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the unit with the built-in command
set.
npsh unitname command
Initiates a single Command with guest access only to the unit instead of
entering into a complete session.
