4. Windows NT/2000/2003 Network

4.1 System Architecture

In Windows network environment, other than the Peer-to-

Peer network printing architecture described in the previous

chapter, we also offer the Server-Based Printing

architecture for Windows NT/2000/2003 server. Only one

Windows NT/2000/2003 is required to have Windows PTPP

(Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver installed and share the

printing service on the network. Other network users can

simply connect to the server and access the shared printer

(see below).

4.2 Windows NT/2000/2003 Server Installation and

Setup

Please follow the procedures described below for

installation and construct a peer-to-peer connection (PTPP)

between Windows NT/2000/2003 Server and Print Server.

Step1.

If this is your first time installing print server, please install

the administrator software on Windows NT/2000/2003

server first. Refer to section 3.2 for installation instructions.

If your network has already installed a working print server

and your Windows NT/2000/2003 server has not yet

installed the PTPP driver, please install the client software.

Refer to section 3.4 and 3.5 for installation instructions.

Step2.

Please add/configure the Peer-to-Peer Printing of the

Windows NT/2000/2003 network printer and verify that you

can print from Windows NT/2000/2003 to the print server by

the installed PTPP driver.

Step3.

Share the above server’s printer to the network by

performing the standard Windows printer sharing process.

4.3 User Installation and Setup

After server side’s installation is completed, client side will

be able to find the server’s shared printer in Network

Neighborhood. You only need to perform Window’s

standard Add New Printer procedure, select “Network

Printer” shown in the screen below, and complete the

configurations afterwards to access the shared printer.

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.

Netware Server

Windows 98

Windows 2000

Print Queue

Print Server

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.

5.2.1 Installation Using PCONSOLE

5.2.1.1 Configuring as Print Server Mode

2. Change the current file server, if necessary, using the

Change Current File Server menu selection.

3. Choose the Print Queue Information menu selection.

4. Press the Insert key to add a new print queue.

5. Type in a print queue name, such as “PQ” or “Q1”.

6. You have now successfully created the print queue that

your print server will serve. Press the Escape key until the

Available Options main menu is displayed.

7. Select Print Server Information.

8. Press the Insert key to add a new NetWare print server

object. The print server name can be identical to the

PSxxxxxx name printed on the label of the print server.

the list of queues serviced by the printer. Enter a priority

number for the queue service, or press Enter to accept the

default.

16. Repeatedly press Escape to exit the PCONSOLE

program.

17. Reset the print server to have the changes take effect.

NOTE: If the print server you have is with multiple printer

connectors, you may create multiple print queues and

printer objects.

Your print server should now be ready to use. You should

be able to redirect printing to your print server using a

CAPTURE command such as the one shown in the previous

section.

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 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.

6.3 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.

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

server’s 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 host’s /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),

IP address: 203.66.191.12

The entry for this print server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

PS010101:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=0000B4010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

6.4 Verify Print Server’s IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the newly

assigned IP address using a PING command:

ping ip-address

6.5 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

server’s IP address. You can add this address to the

/etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186 pserver

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 host’s /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.

It is needless to do any setting on the print server side.

Make sure the print server has correct IP settings. If you

want to share the printers to Internet users, you have to set

a real IP to the print server. You also have to make sure

that any gateway, router or firewall does not block IPP

protocol if you have these gateway devices installed in your

network.

You only need to perform Window’s standard Add New

Printer procedure.

and Faxes”.

home or office network” and enter the URL of print server.

The URL format is “http://IP:631/Port Name”. The IP should

port number. Port Name is the port name of print server

that your printer is connected to. The default port name is

“lpt1”. One example of the URL is

http://192.168.3.66:631/lpt1. After entering the URL of print

server, click “Next”.

or not. Click “Next”.

Files\PrintServer Utilities” (where C:\ is the system drive).
