Introduction

This document is for users who do not have Windows 95/98 or Windows NT.

It describes how to use the command-line DOS utility QUICKSET.EXE to configure your Print Server for use with NetWare Bindery-mode Servers.

Requirements

Installation

Simply copy the file QUICKSET.EXE file from the \Utility\Quickset directory on the CD-ROM to your workstation's hard disk.

NetWare Operating Modes

Two NetWare operating modes are possible -Print Server and Remote Printer.

Operation - Print Server Mode

The Print Server emulates NetWare PSERVER. When the unit is activated, it will perform the following operations:

Operation - Remote Printer Mode

The Print Server emulates a NetWare Remote Printer. After the unit is activated, it will perform the following operations:

Configuration Procedure

This section describes how to use the supplied QUICKSET program to perform initial configuration of your Print Server.

The QUICKSET program will configure the Print Server and the current Novell server in a single operation. This is a DOS-based command-line program.

Preparation

  1. Copy the QUICKSET.EXE file in the \Utility\Dos directory on the CD-ROM to your workstation's hard disk.
  2. Log in to a bindery based file server as a SUPERVISOR or as a user with supervisory rights.
  3. Run Quickset with the appropriate parameters. Refer to the following section for details for both NetWare Print Server mode and NetWare Remote Printer mode.

Quickset /? Will display a help screen.
In the "Syntax" sections, brackets ( ) indicate optional parameters.

Quickset - NetWare Print Server Mode

Quickset Syntax

Quickset Name (/UN=P) (/Q1=W) (/Q2=X) (/Q3=Y) (/QS=Z) (/FS=F)

Parameter

Meaning

Name

The device name (Default Server Name) is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.

P

New name of the Print Server. Provide this parameter if you wish to change the name from the Default Server Name.

W, X, Y, Z

W, X, Y, and Z are the names of the queues to be serviced by parallel ports 1, 2, 3, and the serial port, respectively. The default queue names ( P1, P2, P3, SP) will be used if these parameters are missing.

F

Master file server for this device. When multiple file servers are serviced; this information is stored in the master file server.If this parameter is not provided, the current server is used.

Example:

Quickset PS123456 /UN=Marketing /FS=Net311

In this example, unit PS123456 has been setup as a Novell Print Server. Its new name is Marketing and its Master File Server is Net311.

NetWare File Server Settings used by Quickset

Print Server Object Name

Device name. (Default Server Name is used if no name is provided by user.)

Print ServerObject Password

No password.

Printer Objects

dv_P1, dv_P2, dv_P3, dv_SP.(Where dv is the device name, P1, P2, P3 indicate the parallel ports, and SP indicates the serial port.)

Printer Queues

P1, P2, P3, SP.(Unless user provides different names as parameters)

Quickset - NetWare Remote Printer Mode

Quickset Syntax

Quickset Name R (UN=P) (/Q1=W) (/Q2=X) (/Q3=Y) (/QS=Z) /FS=F

Parameter

Meaning

Name

The default Print Server name (Server Name), as displayed on a sticker on the bottom of the unit.

R

R is the name of the NetWare print server that the Print Server will connect to. If this does not exist, it will be created.

P

The new name of the Print Server. Provide this parameter if you wish to change the device name.

W, X, Y, Z

W, X, Y, and Z are the names of the queues to be serviced by parallel ports 1, 2, 3, and the serial port, respectively. If you do not provide these parameters, then P1, P2, P3 and SP are used as the queue names.

F

F is the name of the file server that the NetWare print server R logs onto.

Example:

Quickset PS123456 PS1 /UN=Marketing /FS=Net311

In this example, Print Server PS123456 has been setup as a remote printer that is attached to the NetWare print server, PS1, on the Net311 file server.

NetWare Print Server Settings used by Quickset

Printer name for P1(Parallel port 1)

Device name.

Printer Type for P1

Remote parallel.

Printer name forP2, P3, SP

Dv_P2, Dv_P3, Dv_SPWhere Dv is the device name.

Printer Type(P2, P3, SP)

Remote parallel or Remote serial, as appropriate.

Printer Queue names

P1, P2, P3, SP are used if the user does not supply queue names as parameters.

Printing

To print a job to the Print Server PSxxxxxx, you can use NetWare's standard utilities: CAPTURE, NPRINT, or PCONSOLE.

On-line help for these commands is obtained by typing /? after the command. (e.g. CAPTURE /? [ENTER] )

In the following examples, print queue P1 is serviced by Print Server PSxxxxxx. To print, the file is sent to print queue P1.

Example 1:

To use NPRINT to print the file c:\config.sys to PSxxxxxx, using the queue "P1", use the command:

NPRINT c:\config.sys /Q=P1 /NOTI /T=4 /NFF /NB

For NPRINT usage and options, see your NetWare documentation.

Example 2:

To use CAPTURE to print the file c:\config.sys to the Print Server port associated with print queue "P1", use the commands:

CAPTURE /L=1 /Q=P1 /NOTI /NT /FF /NB

COPY c:\config.sys LPT1

In this example, output destined for LPT1 is redirected to Print Queue P1. It will then be printed by the printer associated with this queue.
