The NIC TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/ supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment Note • See the documentation that comes with Windows for details about installing TCP/IP on each workstation. • Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/IP capability and the corresponding spooler, lpr; or that the workstation can share an lpr queue on a Windows NT server (for example) that has one. In general, if printers are not shared, an lpr queue must be created on each workstation from which printing is initiated.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 (wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt) for the lpr. See the file named wlprspl.txt for details about installing Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1. If you wish to use the BOOTP, you also need the BOOTPL32.exe file provided with this NIC. Windows NT Windows NT (version 3.5 or higher) does come with TCP/IP and lpr capabilities, although these must be installed when the unit is configured.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment 6.1.1 Setting up the NIC The NIC must be given IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage for Macintosh utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere in this manual. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment For example: >arp -s 192.9.200.200 00-20-6b-aa-bb-cc >ping Request should time out. For example: >ping 192.9.200.200 3. 4. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the NIC reset itself. The NIC will produce a status report that should include the entered IP address. When the NIC is up again, type the following at the command prompt: >ping (continue until you get a reply) Note BOOTP programs use the BOOTP protocol.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment BOOTP programs are located on the CD-ROM in the directory named bootp. 5. Copy BOOTPL16.exe or BOOTPL32.exe into a directory on 6. your workstation’s hard disk. Reset the printer. Note • The NIC issues the BOOTP request for a finite period of time. The NIC must be freshly reset for this program to work. Run the program. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment 6.1.4 Setting Up IP and lpr Parameters The NIC provides for a setup connection via the standard Telnet port. To be able to make changes to a unit with factory default settings, you must logon as “sysadm”. The default password is also “sysadm” (This password can be changed from the Telnet utility). Section 6.3 Running Telnet, describes the use of the Telnet utility. 1. Telnet to the NIC (the login and password are both sysadm). 2.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment Windows 95 Once you install the spooler onto the workstation; the setup program will create a group and icon. 1. Double click on the spooler icon. 2. Click on setup, define new queue. 3. At the Remote Host Name prompt type the NIC’s IP Address, and for the Remote Printer Name enter PORT1. 4. Using the install program, install the printer driver that comes with the printer. Refer to the manual that came with the printer for details. 5.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment 6-9 TCP/IP Configuration The following procedure is used to set up the lpr spooler on the Windows NT server. 1. Using the install program, install the printer driver that comes with the printer. Refer to the manual that came with the printer for details. 2. Open the Printer Properties dialog box for the printer. Click Ports to display the Ports property tab. 3. Click Add Port. The available port types are displayed. 4. Select LPR Port and click New Port.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2 UNIX Printing Note • This manual cover general settings only. See your UNIX system manual for full details about setting procedures. The NIC can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes: • Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is running on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the NIC via a TCP/IP port or, • Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon.
6.2 UNIX Printing Between the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabilities, the NIC works with: • All UNIX systems that support lpd • System V Rel. 4 (on 386 platforms) • DEC ULTRIX RISC Versions 4.3 and 4.4 • DEC OSF/1 Versions 2.0 and 3.0 • Solaris: Version 1.1.3 (SunOS 4.1.3), Version 2.3 (SunOS 5.3), Version 2.4, and Version 2.5 • HP-UX Series 700 and 800 Version 9.01 and Version 10.0 • IBM AIX Version 3.2.5 • SCO UNIX Version 3.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2.1 Configuring the IP Address on the NIC Regardless of the printing mode selected, the NIC must be given IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP address for the NIC in one of the following ways: • Use MAP, as described in Chapter 3. • Use AppleTalk NIManage utility program, as described in Chapter 5. • Use the BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol). • Use the RARP (Reverse ARP) capability (Ethernet II frame type only). • Use arp and ping capability.
6.2 UNIX Printing 4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and NIC’s node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, you would type in the following for NIC named printfast with an IP address of 192.9.200.200: 192.9.200.200 printfast 5. 6. Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
6.2 UNIX Printing 8. Check the printer to verify that the NIC is connected to the network. Turn on the printer. 9. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in NVRAM. The NIC should reinitialize itself. 10. After the NIC has been reinitialized, send a ping command to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. For example: #ping 192.9.200.
6.2 UNIX Printing 5. Edit the /etc/ethers file or use NIS or DIS to add the MAC Address. To continue the example, for the printfast card with an MAC Address of 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc: 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc printfast 6. 7. 8. 9. If the rarp daemon is running, stop it and restart it. Verify that the daemon is running. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network. Turn on the printer.
6.2 UNIX Printing 4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and print server’s node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, you would type in the following for a NIC with a name of printfast and an IP address of 192.9.200.200: 192.9.200.200 printfast 5. Add an entry to the arp cache for the Print Server’s IP address and MAC Address. For example: #arp -s 192.9.200.200 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc 6. 7.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2.2 lpd Printing lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation with all filtering and banners done by NIC. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing. The process begins when the lpr call finds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer.
6.2 UNIX Printing 1. Open the /etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the NIC as the remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6. When a window appears, change the values shown to configure the NIC. The values displayed are default values. You must replace the short and long form filter values with the values shown below.
6.2 UNIX Printing Installation is complete. Test your printer by executing the following command: #lp -d 6.2.2.4 Setting Up an HP/UX Remote Printer to Use lpd Set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to a NIC using the NIC lpd. 1. At the prompt, type: #sam 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. When a window appears, select Printer/Plotter Manager. When the menu appears, select List printer and plotters. When a list appears, select Actions in the title bar.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2.2.5 Setting Up an AS/400 Systems to Use lpd When working with the output queue description (WORKOUTQD), there are several fields that must be defined for the NIC to function properly as a remote printer device. When prompted for the remote system, type INTNETADR so the AS/400 recognizes the device as an IP device. 12. Type PORT1 13. Connection type must be IP. 14. Internet address must be the IP address of the NIC. 15. Destination type must be OTHER. 16.
6.2 UNIX Printing 11. Your configuration is displayed. You are asked whether these values are final. Type Y or N and press Enter . An example is shown below. Printer #7 Symbol Type Representative Value lp (line printer) STR rm (remote host) STR rp (remote printer) STR PORT1 sd (spooler directory) STR /usr/spool/lpd7 12. Add comments to the printcap file. For example, you can type: Dick’s printer down the hall Enter 13.
6.2 UNIX Printing 7. 8. Confirm the information you have entered. Type: Y Confirm the preceding connection as your system default. Type: Y 9. Enter another printer name or quit setup. Type: Q 10. “Do you want to start the remote daemon now?” Type: Y 11. Using a line editor of your choice, edit the /etc/printcap file by changing the :rp= entry to PORT1.
6.2 UNIX Printing 3. At the prompt, type: #lpadmin -p -s !PORT1 Note • There is no space after the remote host name. 4. At the prompt, type: #enable #accept 6.2.3 Installing TCP/IP for NIC If Not Running lpd TCP/IP Configuration Chapter 6 The CD-ROM provided with the NIC includes install scripts for various UNIX systems.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2.3.1 Loading the Software The following procedures are only necessary when using the supplied host-based lpr capability. Loading the software is not necessary if printer-based lpr is used. 1. Log in as superuser (root) to the system that spools directly to the print server. 2. Insert the CD-ROM in the host drive. 3. Go to or create the directory in which you want to install the software.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2.3.3 Manual Selection of Filters The NIC ships with an input filter called psfilter and an output filter called psbanner to print PostScript banners. You may wish to change infilter or outfilter entries in the /etc/printcap file. The following is a sample printcap entry using these filters: | NIC printer:\ :lp=/dev/nic/:\ :if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\ :of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\ :sd=/usr/spool/: 6.2.3.4 Installing and Printing on Solaris 1.
6.2 UNIX Printing 5. “Is this printer PostScript?” Type yes or no and press 6. Enter . The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured. The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap file. See below for a sample printcap file. Type yes or no and press Enter . If you type no, you may perform manual edits. In your /etc/printcap file, be sure not to change the name of the device given NIC in Step 2.
6.2 UNIX Printing 11. Installation for the system is done. You are prompted to configure any more printers. Type yes or no and press Enter . We also suggest you ping the NIC to test communications. 6.2.3.5 Installing & Printing on an DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC System 1. Run the Installation script by typing: #nicinst The script automatically downloads the correct NIC utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed. 2.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured. The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap file. See below for a sample printcap file. Type yes or no and press Enter . If you type no, you may perform manual edits. | NIC printer:\ :lp=/dev/:\ :if=/usr/nic/infilter:\ :sd=/usr/spool/: 7. Installation for the system is done.
6.2 UNIX Printing 4. “What is the printer name?” Type the desired printer name and press Enter . Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script. For example: Node name of the NIC: printfast Printer name to be used: The printer is attached on: PORT 1 5. You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press Enter . The script starts the daemon for the newly configured printer automatically.
6.2 UNIX Printing When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/lprprinter/. The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system will invoke them automatically if you define the content type of the printer as PostScript. The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners.
6.2 UNIX Printing Note • Use of this default interface in most cases will suffice for generic or routine printing of most PostScript, PCL, and ASCII files. In order to utilize a printer specific interface other than the default interface script (named standard), you must have a copy of that printer interface edited and installed in the /usr/nic directory. Next, you will need to edit the printer interface program you created in step 3. 4.
6.2 UNIX Printing Note • lpadmin configures the printer name and associates it with a given device and printer interface program. There is no /etc/printcap file involved with this method of configuration. 8. Next, you need to initialize the printer Type the following commands: #accept #enable Note • After each entry, lpadmin should provide an acknowledgment of the command invoked. 9.
6.2 UNIX Printing 2. Select your system. Choose one from these options: 1) AT&T/SVR4; 386 2) SCO UNIX System V 3) None of the above Type 1, 2, or 3 and press 3. Enter . “What is the node name of the NIC?” Type the name assigned in the /etc/hosts file and press For example: Type printfast and press Enter . 4. . “What is the printer name for this NIC-linked printer?” Type a printer name and press 5. Enter Enter . Your screen will now display the information you provided the install script.
6.2 UNIX Printing The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a printer (there is no /etc/printcap file). The specific commands to do this are: #lpadmin -p -v /dev/nic/ Note • Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i command. #enable #accept You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for details.
6.2 UNIX Printing An AIX virtual printer is simply a high level software view of a data stream, queue, and device that controls how a given job will be processed. A different virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that a real printer supports. For example, you would use different virtual printers for PostScript and PCL jobs even though they are destined for the same physical printer.
6.2 UNIX Printing 6. Shut down the qdaemon using the command #stopsrc -s qdaemon 7. 8. Edit /usr/lpd/qconfig to change the special file for device from /dev/ to /dev/nic/ . Restart the daemon with: #startsrc -s qdaemon The installation script then will create the named pipe and starts the supplied print daemon using the printer name and NIC information you supplied.
6.2 UNIX Printing Output spooled on the virtual printer as defined above, will now be sent to the named pipe and routed to NIC. Before you edit the files above, be sure that the following daemon is running: /usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/ printfast 10001 & 6.2.3.9.2 AIX Print Commands The AIX lp command works slightly differently than the lp command for other System V Release 4 systems.
6.3 Running Telnet 6.3 Running Telnet The Telnet utility uses the standard remote terminal protocol to configure the IP address, lpd printers, and other parameters on your system.

7.3 Resetting the NIC to Factory Default This process is called “Reset to Factory”. It can be done with the standard Telnet or Web pages (accessed via MAP or a Web Browser) utility. However, if network access is not possible, the following method may be used. Note • Resetting to factory default means that the print server loses all data such as names and IP addresses. It does not lose its serial number and MAC Address.
7.4 How to Diagnose Problems Operation and Troubleshooting Chapter 7 7.4 How to Diagnose Problems Use the following list to determine the cause of printing problems: 1. Verify that the printer is functioning properly. • Is the printer printing? Make sure the printer is operating properly by causing it to generate a test page. See your printer's owner's manual for instructions on generating a test page. • Is the printer on-line? Verify that the printer is on-line or else nothing will print.
7.5 Troubleshooting Checklists 7.5.1 Troubleshooting Network Hardware Connections Be sure that the NIC has properly selected the connector type that you are using. • Check that the network connector is plugged into the RJ connector on the NIC. • Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad cable. If you are using a 10BaseT concentrator hub that does not support the link signal, use Manual Ethernet Port selection instead of the factory default or the Automatic Ethernet Port selection.
7.5 Troubleshooting Checklists Did you assign the printer to the type Remote Other /Unknown? If the PCONSOLE settings are correct, the connection between the printer and network may have been broken. Turn the printer off and, using PCONSOLE, wait for the status message Not Connected. Turn the printer on and the status should change to Waiting for Job.
