If you want to create a controlled access printer, go to step 3. 124 How To In NetWare Administrator, double-click the NDPS Manager you have created. Type the Printer Agent name, and then select EpsonNet NDPS Gateway Configuration for the Gateway Type. Type the Printer Agent name, and then select Create a new Printer Agent, and then click Create. Select the NDPS Manager you have created, and then select EpsonNet NDPS Gateway Configuration for the Gateway Type. It is a good idea to print a network status sheet of the network interface and configure the corresponding items. For Remote (LPR on IP) connection: IP Address: Enter the IP address of the network interface. Select an appropriate printer driver for Windows Me/98 and Windows 2000/NT 4. 0. Be sure to select the correct printer driver for your printer from the appropriate menus. In NetWare Administrator, double-click the NDPS Manager object and click Printer Agent List. Check that the status of the Printer Agent you have just created is "Idle". Setting the printer on client workstations For detailed information on setting the printer on client workstations, see the Novell online documentation. Settings for UNIX Users Introduction to UNIX Settings This chapter explains how to set up the printer for different UNIX systems using the lpr command. Your printer supports many standard UNIX commands and can be configured from a host computer without using a special setup utility. Your printer is able to function as a remote printer on systems using TCP/IP Ethernet transfer with lpr remote printing protocol, or standard ftp (file transfer protocol). Note: Because this printer does not convert data into the printer control language, a printer driver and filter are necessary for each system. 126 How To lpr filters Filters for lpr are controlled by the name given to the remote printer. When setting up an lpr printer entry, a name is entered for: the local printer name to be redirected the host name of the station to which the print is sent the remote printer name (name of the printer port on the remote station) Many different remote printer names may be set up, all directed to the same Ethernet remote host, and each is given a different local printer name to be redirected. Different types of print jobs may be sent to different printer names, which will then all print out on the same printer, through the same Ethernet interface, but using different filters. The remote printer name options used to invoke the different filters are as follows: lpb lpa lpbf lpaf Binary files (no filters) ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends) Binary file with form feed at file end ASCII file with form feed at file end 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as lpb. The following is an example of sending a text file, "txtfile", via lpr with a form feed appended: % lpr -plpaf txtfile How To 127 Setting Up Different UNIX Systems Using the lpr Command The following UNIX systems can print using the standard lpr command. SunSoft Solaris 2. 4 or later SunOS 4. 1. 4 or later IBM AIX 3. 2. 5 or later and 4. 1. 3 or later HP-UX 9. 05 or later SCO UNIX 4. 2 or later Setting up for SunSoft Solaris 2. 4 or later In the following steps, substitute the name that your printer will be known by for HOSTNAME, and the name by which you want your printer to be known for Rprinter. For example: lpadmin -p Rprinter -s HOSTNAME\aux-T unknown-1 any 128 How To 4. For example: lp -d RPrinter Print-File-Name 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 How To Setting up for SunOS 4. 1. 4 or later In the following steps, substitute the name that your printer will be known by for HOSTNAME, and the name by which you want your printer to be known for Rprinter. For example: Rprinter | ALCXXXX:lp=:rm=HOSTNAME:rp=aux:sd=/var/spool/lpd /PRIFx 4. [. . . ] To change the subnet mask and the default gateway according to your network environment, use EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh. 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 Distributing the Printer Driver Automatically The automatic distribution function of the printer driver makes it easy to distribute the printer driver to clients on the network. The network administrator stores the printer driver on a computer and the clients can access the computer to install the driver automatically. The following methods are available. EpsonNet SetupManager See "About EpsonNet SetupManager" on page 214 for detailed information. Tips for Administrator 235 EpsonNet NDPS Gateway EpsonNet NDPS Gateway is a gateway software that you can use to print and monitor the printer status of the Epson printer in the NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) environment of NetWare. Use the Setup tool of EpsonNet NDPS Gateway to upload the printer driver to Resource Management Service (RMS). [. . . ]
