Novell Host Configuration

create a printer object to use with the print server object you chose or
created, and attach it to the chosen queue;

Example:

NDS queue name:

Finance

NDS print server name: Fin_Q
NDS printer name:

Fin_Prt_1

NDS printer name:

Accounting_Prt_1

At a 4.x or 5.x console session, if a pserver.nlm session is already
running for Fin_Q, first unload it, then reload it to find the new objects, or,
simply issue

load pserver Fin_Q

If you are successful the print server console screen will show a “printer
status” option. In the “printer status” window, note the numbers assigned
to the printers you created. Assume for our example that one printer
previously existed (number 0), and we are adding two more, whose
numbers became 1, and 2.

On the load command you must strictly follow case of the name (this is
not required on the NIC).

Via a Telnet or npsh session create RPRINTER attachments:

store rprinter add Fin_Q 1 d1prn

This command assigns destination

d1prn

as the RPRINTER 1 service

path.

store rprinter add Fin_Q 2 d4prn

This command assigns destination d4prn as the RPRINTER 2 service
path.

For NIC entries, case does not have to be observed. Also, if you want to
change the destination names from dxprn, do so first with the

set dest

dest name new name

command, being sure to use the save command

so these reappear after a reboot.

Reboot the NIC adapter (power the printer off and on, or use the

reset

command) so the new RPRINTER service names are broadcast.

Open a Telnet or npsh session and log into NIC. Wait a minute or two,
then use the

list rprinter

command, and you should see your

entries. You could also do this by looking at the connection status on the
4.x or 5.x PSERVER printer status entries.

Note

The 4.x or 5.x queue name, print server name, and printer object don't
have to match any NIC name; multiple printers can be defined, but only
one print server can be attached to.
