[. . . ] The host and the print server establish a TCP connection, using a special socket number. All data sent over this connection is treated as print data and sent transparently to a logical printer defined on the print server. Of the three choices, LPD and DSI work well with a large number of users because they both employ print queue processes. FTP does not implement a print queue; if the printer is busy, the print command may fail. The three methods are explained more fully in the following sections. LPD Configuration and Printing LPD is a built-in printing protocol for most UNIX systems including BSD type UNIX. The following sections provide information about configuring LPD on: · IBM AIX 4. 15 · System V · BSD Configuring LPD on IBM AIX 4. 15 Before proceeding, make sure that the print server has been assigned an IP address. Type the name of your print server, adding it to the /etc/hosts. lpd file. Start the LPD daemon if it is not running, using the command: start src -s qdaemon 3. Create the required number of queues (one for each logical printer) by selecting Add a Print Queue, Remote (Printer attached to Remote Host), and then Standard Processing. 67 NetGear Print Server Manual Use these definitions for entering the information: Name of queue to add Use a single-word queue name that indicates the printer attached. Hostname for remote server Print server name as used in /etc/hosts. lpd. Name of queue on remote server It is the logical printer number (L1 to L3 or L1 to L8) to service this queue. Refer to the information provided in table FTP Commands for information about configuring logical printers. Print using the command: lp -d printer_queue file_name Use these definitions for entering the information: printer_queue is one of the entries used in Name of queue to add. file_name is the file you want to print. Configuring LPD on System V Before beginning LPD Setup, make sure that an IP address has been assigned to your print server and that the following statements apply: The remote host name is the name of the print server. The remote printer name is the print queue name for the logical printer. You identify the service type as BSD if your UNIX system asks for the LPD type. The LPD protocol that the print server uses meets BSD system standards. Table Sample Commands for Using LPD on System V shows sample commands when using LPD. The definitions used in the sample commands are: printer_name is the name of the print queue serviced by the print server. Spooler_directory is the name of the directory used to spool the print jobs. 68 NetGear Print Server Manual Sample Commands for Using LPD on System V Action Stop Print Services Add a System Printer Restart the Print Services Enable printing to the new printer device Start accepting jobs for the new printer device Create a spooling directory Make spooling daemon the owner of this directory Create read/write permissions Give permissions to LPD processes Sample Command /usr/lib/lpshut /usr/lib/lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/null /usr/lib/lpsched enable printer_name accept printer_name mkdir /usr/spool/Spooler_directory chown daemon /usr/spool/Spooler_directory chmod 775 /usr/spool/Spooler_directory chgrp daemon /usr/spool/Spooler_directory Add to the /etc/printcap file: printer_name|Remote_Printer_Alias:\ [Tab] :lp=:\ [Tab] :rm=PS_NAME:\ [Tab] :rp=Logical_Printer_name:\ Add remote printer(s). (Repeat this process for [Tab] :sd=Spooler_directory:\ each logical printer/print queue combination that [Tab] :mx#0 you want to create. ) Use these definitions for entering the information: Sample command should be entered as one line, printer_name is the print queue name used to store jobs for the using a tab character where shown. Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the print server (L1 to L3 or L1 to L8, depending on the print server that you are using). Spooler_directory is the directory you created. Configuring LPD on BSD Make sure that an IP address has been assigned to the print server and the following statements apply: The remote host name is the name of the print server. The remote printer name is the logical printer (L1 to L3 or L1 to L8). [. . . ] The procedure has three parts: · Create an NDPS Manager Object on the server. · Configure each workstation requiring access to the NDPS printers. Creating an NDPS Manager Object To create an NDPS manager object: Log in to NetWare 5. 0 Server as Admin and start the NetWare Administrator program Nwadmn32. exe. Select the container on NetWare Administrator where you want the NDPS Manager object to reside (for example, TeSupp). Select Create - Object from the menu bar to view the New Object dialog. [. . . ]
