5. NetWare Network  
5.1  
System Architecture  
We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality into the print server itself, thus allowing one or  
more printers attached by a print server to be connected to the network. We have developed the print  
server to support NetWare print server.  
Embedded print server, which emulates the “queue management functionality” of NetWare print server,  
PSERVER program running on the NetWare server. A user first prints a job at a workstation, the job is  
routed to a NetWare server, the NetWare server stores the job in a print queue and then the print server  
gets the print job from the queue to printers.  
Print Queue  
Windows 98  
Netware Server  
Print Server  
Windows 2000  
Compare with NetWare printing functionality, the advantages of embedding the NetWare network  
printing functionality in the print server include:  
Installation is easier and quicker.  
Network management is easier.  
Printing performance is enhanced.  
Relieve NetWare file server’s burden.  
Relieve the need of a workstation running the remote printer utility.  
Improve productivity by locating the printer near the workgroup.  
Each print server should log into a NetWare server before servicing the print jobs. Each print server will  
occupy a user account with which it can log into the NetWare server.  
5.2  
NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x Installation & Setup  
Once your print server is connected to your Ethernet network, you can set it up for use with your  
networking software.

6. UNIX System Network  
6.1  
Introduction  
The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD  
protocol originated with Unix release is based on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most  
versions of Unix.  
This chapter explains how to configure the print server for TCP/IP operation, and how to modify  
configuration files on your Unix system to allow printing to the print server. The configuration examples  
in this manual follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems.  
Please refer to the related system documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.  
To configure the print server for LPD printing, perform the procedures below:  
1. Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support.  
2. Set up Print Server’s IP address.  
3. Verify Print Server’s IP Address.  
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.  
5. Print a test page.  
In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.  
6.2  
6.3  
Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support  
The default configuration of the print server is with TCP/IP support enabled. Anyway, you can configure  
the print server to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration program.  
Setup Print Server’s IP Address  
The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.  
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one of the following methods:  
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)  
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)  
The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is  
configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).  
6.3.1 DHCP  
There are many Unix systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP  
server database are different. This manual does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the Unix  
systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as the  
print server.  
6.3.2 BOOTP  
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that is accessible by the print  
server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the print server. We recommend that  
the BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the print server. If you use Network  
Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services  
before doing the following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system  
documentation.  
29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in the host of BOOTP server  
as the superuser (root). Perform the following steps to add address entries,  
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print servers IP address. You can add this address to  
the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:  
203.66.191.12  
pserver  
2. Add an entry to the hosts /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:  
hostname:\  
:ht=1:\  
:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\  
:ip=print_server_ip_address:  
Lines should be indented with tabs.  
Where hostname is the device name of a print server, the ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is  
Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a print server, which is the Node ID located on  
the print server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the IP  
address you want to assign to the print server.  
For example, a print server with the following configuration:  
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet  
address is 0000B4010101),

Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host  
The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s) to allow printing to your network remote print  
server varies between different varieties of Unix. The procedure below can be used for Unix variants  
that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix, consult your system  
documentation, keeping in mind that:  
1. The print server should be treated as a BSD networked print server host.  
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the print server.  
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the  
printer port on the print server.  
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root).  
To configure your Unix host for printing:  
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print servers IP address. You can add this address to  
the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:  
203.66.191.186  
pserver  
30  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally  
kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:  
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd  
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd  
chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd  
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd  
3. Add an entry to the hosts /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:  
printer-name:\  
:lp=:\  
:rm=203.66.191.186:\  
:rp=lpt1:\  
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\  
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\  
:mx#0:  
Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with variants separated by  
vertical bars (name1|name2).  
The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the print server. You can also  
use a host name if you have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.  
The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous step.  
The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote printer. The values should be one of  
lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on the printer port.  
The print server should now be available for printing from your Unix host.
