If this is your first NetWare installation, we strongly suggest that you read this section before you install printing on your network. If you are an experienced NetWare installer, read IDREF="FM14301"Chapter 2, "Print Server Installation" on page 17 for specific instructions on setting up your print server. Printing on a NetworkTo network users, printing from a network idxid="w8439"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i4567"workstation seems the same as printing from a standalone workstation, but there are differences. When a user at a standalone workstation sends a idxid="w8440"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5537"print job to a locally attached printer, the job is sent directly to the printer for processing (as illustrated in IDREF="FM96764"Figure 1-1).LBL="1-1"ID="FM96764"Standalone printing environmentFILE="n312p01a.pbm"However, when a user on a network workstation sends a print job to a network printer, the job is idxid="w8441"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5537"routed first through the file server and then delivered to the printer by the print server.When a print job leaves a network workstation, it is stored temporarily in a print queue on the file server. Print queues, which are basically subdirectories on the file server, are created during the print server installation. The queue stores the job until the print server can deliver it to the printer. When the printer is ready for the job, the print server moves it from the queue to the printer. (See IDREF="FM97222"Figure 1-2.)LBL="1-2"ID="FM97222"Network printing environmentFILE="n312p02a.pbm"The NetWare printing services control the network printing process at different stages. When the print job is ready to be sent from the workstation to the queue, users can use NetWare printing utilities to control and monitor their print jobs. When the print job is in the queue, the NetWare print server---whether run as a NetWare Loadable Module® (NLM), a Value-Added Process (VAP), or on a dedicated machine---takes the job and sends it to the printer assigned to that particular queue.The PSERVER.NLM can be used only on a NetWare v3.12 network. The PSERVER.VAP can be used only on a 286-based NetWare server or bridge.NetWare Printing ServicesNetWare printing services consist of the following:The NetWare print serverThe remote printer softwareThe NetWare printing utilitiesNetWare Print Serveridxid="w8442"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5405"Three types of print servers are available in NetWare: The loadable module (PSERVER.NLM---for NetWare v3.12)The dedicated workstation (PSERVER.EXE)The VAP (PSERVER.VAP---for 286-based NetWare)The NetWare print server allows you to increase the number of printers on your network. The print server also allows you to locate printers where you need them in the workplace, not just next to the file server. For example, you can print to a network printer connected to a dedicated workstation print server, or you can print to a remote network printer connected to a workstation attached to the network. Each type of print server supports 16 printers and can service queues on up to 8 file servers. PSERVER.NLMidxid="w8443"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5680"PSERVER.NLM, a NetWare loadable module used with NetWare v3.12, is loaded directly onto the file server. It links to the operating system and sends print jobs from file server queues to the printers assigned to those queues. Like other loadable modules, PSERVER.NLM can be loaded and unloaded while the file server is running. To add a printer or change your printing setup, you make the necessary changes in PCONSOLE, unload the NLM, and then load the NLM on the file server again.PSERVER.NLM is copied to the SYS:SYSTEM directory during installation.PSERVER.EXEidxid="w8444"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5667"PSERVER.EXE is run on a idxid="w8445"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5376"dedicated DOS workstation. Like the loadable module, it sends print jobs from file server queues to the printers assigned to these queues. To add a printer or modify your printing setup, you make the changes in PCONSOLE, down the print server, and then reboot the dedicated workstation so that the changes take effect.PSERVER.EXE is copied into the SYS:PUBLIC directory during installation.PSERVER.VAPidxid="w8446"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5685"PSERVER.VAP is run on a 286-based NetWare (v2.15c or above) file server or external bridge. Like other VAPs, the print server VAP runs "on top" of the NetWare operating system. It ties into the operating system and sends print jobs from file server queues to the printers assigned to these queues.PSERVER.VAP can be stopped and restarted at the file server or bridge console while the file server is running. To add a printer or change your printing setup, you make the necessary changes in PCONSOLE, stop the VAP, and then restart the VAP on the file server or bridge.PSERVER.VAP is copied into the SYS:SYSTEM directory during installation.Remote Printer SoftwareRPRINTER.EXE allows the print server to use a printer attached directly to your workstation as a idxid="w8447"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6070"remote network printer. RPRINTER is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program that is loaded into the idxid="w8448"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5820"workstation's memory. It runs in the background until it is removed or until the workstation is rebooted.To use the printer as a standalone printer, you can remove the program from your workstation's memory or switch to private mode with the PSC command. Before you can connect a remote printer, you must use PCONSOLE toDefine the remote printer in the print server account.Assign a queue to the remote printer.The remote printer files are copied into SYS:PUBLIC during installation.NetWare Printing UtilitiesNetWare printing utilities allow you to set up, control, and monitor the network print process. You can use the utilities to print from applications that are not designed for network printing, to print from diskettes, and to print screen displays.If you usually print from a network-compatible application, you will seldom need to use the printing utilities except to set up and monitor your print process.The following table gives you an idea of what each command is used for. For a complete description of the utilities, see IDREF="FM14341"Chapter 4, "Utilities" on page 43.WIDTH="120"TaskWIDTH="192"SoftwareSet upPCONSOLE, SPOOLRun softwarePSERVER, RPRINTERPrint filesCAPTURE, ENDCAP, NPRINT, PCONSOLEControl printer/print  serverPCONSOLE, PSCCustomizePRINTCON, PRINTDEFSetting Up Network PrintingBefore you can run the idxid="w8449"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5569"print server, you must run PCONSOLE to set up the following:Print queuesPrint serversPrintersPrint QueuesEach print job must be sent to a print queue on the file server. The queue stores the job until the printer is ready. When you create a idxid="w8450"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5282"print queue, a corresponding directory is created in the SYS:SYSTEM directory. Each print job is stored as a file in the directory created for that queue. When the printer is ready, the print server takes the job from the queue and sends it to the printer assigned to that queue. You must use PSCONSOLE to create print queues before you set up the print server account. We suggest you create one queue for each printer to simplify your printing setup. Moreover, if you name the queue according to the type or location of the printer, then it is easier to remember which queue is serviced by which printer.When you create a print queue, user SUPERVISOR is automatically assigned as a print queue operator, and members of group EVERYONE are automatically assigned as print queue users. You can change these default assignments using PCONSOLE.Queue OperatorsThe supervisor can assign other users to be queue operators as necessary. idxid="w8451"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5256"Queue operators can edit any other user's print job, delete any job from the queue (even if it is being printed), and modify the queue status by changing the operator flags. Queue operators can also change the order in which print jobs will be serviced. Printers normally service print jobs on a first-come, first-served basis. Operators can change the service mode.Queue UsersTo send print jobs to a queue, a network idxid="w8452"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5262"user must be designated as a print queue user. Members of group EVERYONE are automatically assigned as print queue users of each print queue. As a result, all network users (as members of the group EVERYONE) can send print jobs to the print queue.Queue Serversidxid="w8453"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5726"When you create your print server account, you must assign print queues to the printers you have defined. This step authorizes the print server to take jobs out of the queue and move them to the appropriate printer.The print server can service print queues from as many as eight file servers. If the print server will be servicing queues on other file servers, you must create a print server account on each file server and attach to each file server. You must either have supervisor privileges on those file servers or enlist the help of the supervisors. For more information, see IDREF="FM14341"Chapter 4, "Utilities" on page 43.Print ServersA idxid="w8454"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5405"print server takes print jobs out of a print queue and sends them to the appropriate network printer. After you create your print queues, you must create a print server account using PCONSOLE.Print Server ConfigurationYou must create the idxid="w8455"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5405"print server configuration in PCONSOLE before running the print server. This configuration tells the print server:The file servers the print server should attach to. The printers the print server will support. The queues each printer will service.The users that should be notified if the printer needs service.Each time you load the print server, it uses this configuration to set up the printing environment. We also recommend that you assign the print server a password for idxid="w8456"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5405"security purposes. When the print server comes up, you are prompted for the password if one has been created.If the print server will be servicing queues on multiple file servers, you must create a print server account on each file server. When you install a print server, user SUPERVISOR is automatically assigned as a print server operator, and members of group EVERYONE are automatically assigned as print server users. You can change these default assignments in PCONSOLE.Print Server OperatorsThese idxid="w8457"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5394"users have special privileges to control the print server. They can do the following using PCONSOLE:Attach the print server to other file servers.Determine who should be notified if the printer needs service.Issue commands to the printer.Change forms for the printer.Change the queues serviced by the printer.Change the queue priority.Down the print server. They cannot assign print server users or other print server operators.Print Server UsersThese idxid="w8458"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5398"users can monitor the status of the print server. All network users (as members of the group EVERYONE) can monitor the use of the print server. You do not have to be a print server user to have the print server send your print jobs to a printer. But you must be a queue user to insert your job in a queue. When your print job is in the queue, the print server sends it to a printer whether or not you are a print server user.PrintersAs part of creating the idxid="w8459"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5151"print server configuration in PCONSOLE, you must define printers. A print server can support up to 16 printers. You define the printers by specifying whether the printer is local or remote and which port the printer is attached to. Local Network Printersidxid="w8460"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i3344"Local idxid="w8461"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"network printers are attached directly to the NetWare v3.12 file server running PSERVER.NLM, to the 286-based NetWare (v2.15c or above) file server or bridge running PSERVER.VAP, or to the dedicated workstation print server running PSERVER.EXE. You can attach up to five local network printers, limited only by the number of parallel and serial ports available. Remote Network Printersidxid="w8462"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5820"Remote idxid="w8463"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5533"network printers are attached to network workstations. They can be used as standalone printers or, if you run RPRINTER, they can be used by other network users. Since you can attach a total of 16 printers, the number of remote printers you can use depends on how many printers are attached directly to the print server.Printing PortsMost workstations can support up to three idxid="w8464"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5174"parallel printing idxid="w8465"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"ports (LPT1:, LPT2:, and LPT3:) and two idxid="w8466"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5174"serial ports (COM1: and COM2:). If you are using a idxid="w8467"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"serial printer, you must specify the following parameters when you are defining your printer configuration:Baud rate Data bitsStop bitsParityXON/XOFF protocolPrinter AssignmentsWhen you define the printer in PCONSOLE, you also idxid="w8468"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5471"specify which queues are serviced by each printer. We suggest you idxid="w8469"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"assign one queue to each printer to simplify your printing setup. One printer can service multiple queues. For example, you could set up a special high-priority queue that is serviced before any other queue. Each time you specify which queue should be serviced by a printer, you are prompted for the priority (from 1 to 10) of that queue.One idxid="w8470"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"queue idxid="w8471"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5282"can be serviced by multiple printers. For example, you could have three identical printers printing jobs from a single queue, enabling you to maintain a first-come, first-served approach to printing large numbers of print jobs. If you want a single queue serviced by multiple printers, you need to assign that queue to each printer.All idxid="w8472"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5471"printer assignments are stored in the print server configuration on the file server. Each time the print server comes up, the print server checks for these assignments.If you want to change these assignments permanently, see IDREF="FM88155""Change Printer Configuration" on page 107. If you want to idxid="w8473"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5151"add new printers, you must restart the print server before the new configuration can take effect.Bringing Up the Print Serveridxid="w8474"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i435"After the print queues, print servers, and printers are set up, you can bring up the print server. If you are using PSERVER.NLM, load it on the NetWare v3.12 file server using the NetWare LOAD command.If you are using PSERVER.EXE, you must first modify the SPX connections on the dedicated workstation's NET.CFG file (SPX=60). Then boot the workstation, log in to the network, and run PSERVER.If you are using PSERVER.VAP on a 286-based NetWare (v2.15c or above) file server, boot the file server and answer "Yes" to the "Load Value-Added Processes?" prompt.If you are using PSERVER.VAP on an external bridge, you must copy PSERVER.VAP to the same directory that contains the executable file for the bridge. Then boot the bridge and answer "Yes" to the "Load Value-Added Processes?" prompt.Printing Files and Screen DisplaysAfter the print server is running, you can print from any application designed for network printing, or you can print with the NetWare printing utilities. Printing from Applications Designed for Network PrintingMany applications are designed for network printing. The application documentation includes specific directions for printing files. If you use idxid="w8475"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i424"applications written for earlier versions of NetWare, they may send print jobs to printer numbers rather than to print queues. If so, you must set up spooler assignments at the file server console. idxid="w8476"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6440"Spooler assignments translate the printer number used by the application into a queue that NetWare can recognize.When an application tries to send a job to a printer, the spooler intercepts that job and puts it into a queue. The job is then serviced by the printer assigned to that queue.The printer numbers you specify in your application are not the same printer numbers used in PCONSOLE to define printers on the print server. The printer numbers used by applications are logical printer numbers (0-4 are used by earlier versions of NetWare). They do not correspond to the 16 printer numbers used by the print server.You should save the spooler assignments by including them in the system AUTOEXEC file (using "Supervisor Options" in SYSCON). Each time the file server comes up, the spooler assignments are set up.Printing from Applications idxid="w8477"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5537"Not Designed for Network PrintingIf you are using idxid="w8478"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i424"applications that are not designed for network printing, NetWare provides four utilities that allow you to print files: idxid="w8479"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i914"CAPTURE, idxid="w8480"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i914"ENDCAP, NPRINT, and PCONSOLE. If you do not idxid="w8481"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i435"specify a queue in a CAPTURE or NPRINT command, the print server sends the print job to the queue that Spooler 0 has been mapped to. If Spooler 0 has not been mapped to a queue, you receive an error message and your job does not print. You can specify a default print queue with the SPOOL command. For more information, IDREF="FM18513"see "Create Spooler Assignments" on page 41. CAPTURE/ENDCAPUse CAPTURE to print screen displays or to print from applications that are not set up to print on networks. CAPTURE redirects any print command issued to a local printing port and sends it to a print queue to be printed. Printer numbers are no longer supported with CAPTURE. If you are upgrading from NetWare v2.0 and have included the printer option (CAPTURE p=x) in your login script, you now need to use the queue option (CAPTURE q=x). You can also use CAPTURE to send data to a file rather than to a print queue. You can enter CAPTURE at the command line or include it in your idxid="w8482"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i914"login script or an AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set up network printing each time you log in to the file server.Use ENDCAP to end the CAPTURE command and direct your print commands back to the local workstation printing ports.For a complete explanation, see IDREF="FM55245""CAPTURE" on page 46 and IDREF="FM50394""ENDCAP" on page 60.NPRINTUse NPRINT to print files that were created in applications or as ASCII text files. NPRINT routes the files to a specified print queue. You can specify printing parameters at the command line or with a print job configuration as a shortcut. To print a file with NPRINT, you must specify the directory path and filename of the file you want sent to the queue. You can use wildcard characters to print more than one file at a time. NPRINT sends your files to the print queue immediately.To print files that have idxid="w8483"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i2420"embedded printer idxid="w8484"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i2420"codes, you can use the "No Tabs" option in NPRINT, or you can set up a print job configuration (with PRINTCON), specifying "byte stream" in the "File Contents" option.For a complete explanation, IDREF="FM81304"see "NPRINT" on page 64.PCONSOLEUse PCONSOLE to print files that were created in applications or as ASCII text files. Like NPRINT, PCONSOLE routes the files to a specified print queue. However, PCONSOLE is a menu utility that allows you to select your file and specify printing parameters from a menu rather than at the command line.For a complete explanation, IDREF="FM81238"see "PCONSOLE" on page 70.Customizing the Printing EnvironmentIf you plan to print frequently from applications that are not designed for network printing, you can customize your printing environment with PRINTDEF and PRINTCON. We suggest you use idxid="w8485"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5455"PRINTDEF and idxid="w8486"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5441"PRINTCON in two cases only:If you have problems resetting your printer to default fonts after using different printing setups.For example, if you are printing spreadsheets and letters on the same printer, you may have some problems with the printer resetting after each print job.If you want to specify different forms or print configurations when you are using CAPTURE, NPRINT, and PCONSOLE.PRINTDEF creates a database that stores print forms and print device definitions (print devices are equipment such as printers and plotters). Print Device Definition Files (.PDF)idxid="w8487"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5151"These files are used to issue specific commands to the printer at the beginning of a print request. You can idxid="w8488"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5569"set up these files in one of three ways:Use the print device definitions that are automatically placed in the SYS:PUBLIC directory when you install NetWare. (NetWare includes print device definitions for commonly used printers.) Import print definitions set up on another file server.Set up your own printer definitions using PRINTDEF, if your printer is not found in the device definitions provided by NetWare.Print Job Configurationsidxid="w8489"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5198"Print job configurations control how a job is printed. PRINTCON uses the information set up in PRINTDEF to create customized print job configurations. PRINTCON creates individual databases of print job configurations for each user.A primary advantage of setting up print job configurations is that users printing a file using PCONSOLE, CAPTURE, or NPRINT can choose a print job configuration instead of manually entering all the print job specifications each time they want to print. The printer returns to its default settings after the print job is completed. As you set up printing on the network, you can Create print job configurations for all users using the forms, devices, and modes defined in PRINTDEF.Select the default print job configuration.Copy print job configurations from one user to another.You can set up print job configurations for any user. In addition, users can set up their own print job configurations. For a list of the parameters you can specify, see IDREF="FM26073""Print Job Configuration Parameters" on page 122.Sending Commands to the Print Server/PrinterYou can send commands to the idxid="w8490"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5376"print server and printer with PCONSOLE or PSC (Print Server Commands), the command line equivalent to PCONSOLE. You can perform the following tasks:View the status of one or all the printers.Pause the printer temporarily.Stop printing the current job.Start the printer.Mark top of form.Rewind a print job (only in PCONSOLE).Advance the printer to the top of the next page.Mount a new form.Down the print server (only in PCONSOLE).Remove a remote printer from the list of network printers so that it can be used as a standalone printer (only in idxid="w8491"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5658"PSC). You can use the idxid="w8492"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5658"DOS SET command to set a default print server and printer number for PSC so that you do not have to specify the print server and printer at the command line each time you execute PSC.

Factors to consider when choosing your print server include available hardware resources, security needs, location, and performance.There are three types of print servers:PSERVER.EXEidxid="w8495"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5667"If you have an extra workstation that you can dedicate to print services, the dedicated workstation print server offers you three advantages. You reduce the workload on your file servers.You can locate your printers wherever you want them on your network.You restrict access to the file server (thus enhancing security) by locating your printers and print servers away from the file server. PSERVER.NLMidxid="w8496"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5680"If you are using NetWare v3.12 and you do not want to dedicate a computer to print services, you can run the NetWare Loadable Module print server on your v3.12 file server.

Printers can be attached to the file server or the dedicated workstation print server (local printers) or to workstations on the network (remote printers). For more information, see IDREF="FM26342"Chapter 1, "Concepts" on page 1.ProcedurePrepare network printers for installation.Install add-on printer ports if necessary.Most file servers and workstations approved for a NetWare network come with at least one serial and one parallel port built into the system board. If you plan to attach more idxid="w8501"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"printers, you can install printer port idxid="w8502"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"add-on boards.

If you use built-in printing ports, check the documentation that came with your computer for the printing port interrupt number. If you cannot change the configuration of your printing port or if you have used all available interrupts, you can use the "polled" designation. Polled printing does not use interrupts. However, it may not send data to the printer as quickly.If you are using a remote printer, you must select an interrupt.If you use interrupts, you must select a value. Choose a value between 3 and 7 that does not conflict with any other settings you have made.Record the machine and the port you connect each printer to and the interrupt each port uses.

ID="FM55978"Printing on the NetworkNow that your print server is running, you can print files from any application, or you can print text files and screen displays with the NetWare printing utilities.Printing from Applications Designed for Network PrintingMany applications are designed for network printing. The application documentation should include information about setting up printing on a network.As you set up printing for an application, remember that NetWare sends print jobs to print queues rather than to printer numbers. If the application you use asks you to specify printer numbers, you must set up spooler assignments at the file server console. See IDREF="FM18513""Create Spooler Assignments" on page 41.Printing from Applications Not Designed for Network PrintingIf you are using applications that are not designed for network printing, you can use the following NetWare printing utilities to print files: CAPTURE, ENDCAP, NPRINT, and PCONSOLE.Each utility is explained fully in IDREF="FM14341"Chapter 4, "Utilities" on page 43.Printing Text FilesUse NPRINT and PCONSOLE to print ASCII text files. NPRINT is a command line utility, so you must specify parameters at the command line. PCONSOLE is a menu utility and allows you to select files and parameters from a menu. Both utilities are explained fully in IDREF="FM14341"Chapter 4, "Utilities" on page 43.Printing Screen DisplaysUse CAPTURE and ENDCAP to print screen displays. CAPTURE redirects any print commands issued to a local printing port and sends them to a print queue to be printed. ENDCAP ends the CAPTURE command and directs print commands back to the local workstation printing ports. Both utilities are explained fully in IDREF="FM14341"Chapter 4, "Utilities" on page 43.Where to Go from HereIf you will be printing primarily from applications designed for network printing, you must set up printing according to the application documentation.If you will be using the NetWare utilities to print, you should read IDREF="FM48693""Customizing Printing" on page 33.LBL="3"ID="FM48693"Customizing PrintingThis chapter is intended primarily for those who use applications idxid="w8541"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5537"not designed for network printing.

Then type the directory name, SYS:PUBLIC, and press <Enter>.In the "Available .PDFs" list, select the .PDF file you want to add to your PRINTDEF list of files.If you try to copy a file that has the same name as an existing print device definition, the "New Device Name" entry box appears, prompting you to rename the new print device definition. Type the revised name and press <Enter>.The new print device definition is added to the print definition database. You are returned to the "Print Device Options" menu. To save the PRINTDEF database with the new print device definition, press<Escape> twice. The "Exit PrintDef" confirmation box appears. Select "Yes."Select "Save Data Base, then EXIT."Do one of the followingIf you do not need to set up additional print device definitions, continue with the next section.If you want to set up additional print device definitions, IDREF="FM89069"see "Define Print Device Functions" on page 143.Define idxid="w8548"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5537"the Forms Your Printer Uses (PRINTDEF)idxid="w8549"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5182"Print forms are the types of paper you print on. You can specify what form you want to print on when you set up print job configurations. For example, you might want some jobs to be printed on letter-size sheets of paper and others on green-bar continuous-feed paper. The print server recognizes forms by name and number. For your convenience, idxid="w8550"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5461"PRINTDEF assigns form names to the form numbers. If you send a print request that requires a specific form, the file server will not print the job until that form is mounted in the printer. To define idxid="w8551"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5182"print forms, complete the following steps.ProcedureFrom PRINTDEF, highlight "Forms" and press <Insert>.ID="FM66669"Type the name of the new form you want to define in the "Forms Definition Form" entry box and press <Enter>. The first character of the form name must be alphabetic, and the form name cannot exceed 12 characters. An underscore ( _ ) is inserted between words instead of a space. Examples of form names include White_8x11, Continuous, Checks, Green_Bar, Normal, and Standard. ID="FM42552"Type the number you want to assign to the form and press <Enter>. Assign the most commonly used form as form 0, since 0 is the default form. Form numbers must fall between 0 and 255.idxid="w8552"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5182"Type the length of the form in lines per page and press <Enter>. The number must fall between 1 and 255. For example, if your printer is set at six lines per inch, a sheet that measures 8-1/2 by 11 inches would be 66 lines long.Type the width of the form in characters per line and press <Enter>. The number must fall between 1 and 999. Always measure width as though your printer can only print 10 characters per inch. For example, if you are using a sheet that measures 8-1/2 by 11 inches, enter 85 characters per line.To save changes, press <Escape>. Then answer "Yes" at the "Save Changes" confirmation. The new form is listed in the "Forms" list. To idxid="w8553"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5182"delete a form from the "Forms" list, highlight that form and press <Delete>. Press <Enter> to confirm your decision to delete the form.Repeat IDREF="FM66669"Steps 2 through 3 for each form you want to define.If you need to idxid="w8554"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5182"edit a form, highlight that form in the "Forms" list and press the Modify key (<F3> on most machines). Follow IDREF="FM42552"Steps 2a through 2c to make any necessary changes.To exit PRINTDEF after you have finished defining forms, press <Escape> twice and then press <Enter>. The "Exit Options" menu appears. Select "Save Data Base, then EXIT."Set Up Print Job Configurations (PRINTCON)You can set up a print job configuration by specifying certain parameters. You use these print job configurations as a shortcut when using NPRINT, CAPTURE, and PCONSOLE. You can use the "j=printjob" flag with NPRINT and CAPTURE or specify which print job you want to use on the PCONSOLE print form.The idxid="w8555"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5198"first print job idxid="w8556"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5198"configuration you create becomes your default. When you define other configurations, you can select which will be your default. Each user has a separate PRINTCON file. You can set up a print job configuration for one user and then copy it to other users. Or you can allow users to set up their own print job configurations.To set up a idxid="w8557"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5441"print job configuration, complete the following steps.ProcedureFrom PRINTCON, select "Edit Print Job Configurations." Press <Insert> and type the name of the print job configuration you want to add in the "Enter New Name" entry box. Then press <Enter>. For example, if you want to set up a print job configuration to print a monthly report that requires special formatting, you could name the print job configuration MONTH.The "Edit Print Job Configuration" form is displayed in a format similar to the following.LBL="3-1"Example of the Edit Print Job Configuration FormFILE="n312p05a.pbm"To make changes in the job configuration, highlight the item you want to modify and press <Enter>. Make the appropriate change by typing in a new value or by choosing an item from the menu provided. Press <Enter> to save the change. For a complete explanation of each item, IDREF="FM26073"see "Print Job Configuration Parameters" on page 122 in PRINTCON.After you have set up your print job configuration, press <Escape>.Select "Yes" to save the changes. If you want to copy this print job configuration to other users, continue with the next section. If not, you have finished customizing your printing environment.idxid="w8558"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5537"Copy Print Job Configurations idxid="w8559"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5192"Each user has a unique print job configuration file that stores any print job configurations created by or for that user. This file, PRINTCON.DAT, is stored in the user's mail directory. Although you can copy print job configurations from one user to another, you cannot copy a single job configuration at a time. You must copy the whole file, including all job configurations. When you copy one user's print job configuration file to another user's, the copied file overwrites the target user's existing file. Because users can create their own print job configurations, be sure to check with users before idxid="w8560"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5441"copying a PRINTCON.DAT file over their existing files. If you have just finished creating or editing print jobs, you must exit PRINTCON and save your current print job information before copying it to other users.To copy a print job configuration, complete the following steps.ProcedureFrom PRINTCON, select "Supervisor--Copy Print Job Configurations" from the "Available Options" menu.Type the name of the user whose job configuration file you want to copy in the "Source User" entry box, and press <Enter>.Type the name of the user whose print job configuration file you want to replace in the "Target User" entry box, and press <Enter>. The file is copied.To exit PRINTCON, press <Escape>.

If your application does this, spooler assignments translate the printer number used by the application into a queue that NetWare can recognize.The Spooler 0 assignment also provides a default print queue for NPRINT and CAPTURE. If you do not specify a queue when using NPRINT or CAPTURE, the print server sends the print job to whichever queue Spooler 0 has been mapped to. If you have not mapped Spooler 0 to a queue, you receive an error message and your job is not printed.To create a spooler assignment, use the following SPOOL command:  SPOOL n TO QUEUE queuenameFor example, to designate the queue PQUEUE as the default queue, you would type the following at the file server console:  SPOOL 0 to queue PQUEUE <Enter>If the print server is servicing queues from multiple file servers, type the SPOOL command at each file server.

You can then use the Job option to indicate which print job configuration to use.If you do not specify any options in the CAPTURE command, your data is printed according to the default print job configuration defined in PRINTCON.If no print job configurations are defined, CAPTURE follows the defaults listed with the CAPTURE options. An explanation of each option is in the next section.CAPTURE no longer supports printer numbers. Send print requests to queues rather than to printers. Also, print server names are also not supported in CAPTURE.Command Options idxid="w8568"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5560"ID="FM67299"SHowInclude this option to view the current status of LPT: ports (local parallel printing ports):Whether they are capturedWhether they are set to send data to a network printer or to a fileHow the CAPTURE options are setIncluding the SHow option does not affect the capture of an LPT: port. You cannot use SHow with other CAPTURE options.NOTIfyInclude this option if you want to be notified that your data has been printed. A message (Jobname printed on Printername) appears across the bottom of your screen. This option does not notify you if the printer has a problem or if your job cannot be printed.Default: NOTIfy disabledNoNOTIfyInclude this option if you do not want to be notified that your data has been printed. You need to use this option only if NOTIfy is enabled in your print job configuration and you want to disable it. Do not confuse this option with the notification option in PCONSOLE that informs designated users when the printer is having problems.Default: NoNOTIfy enabledTImeout=nInclude this option if you want to print from an application without exiting the application. Replace n with a number (1 through 1,000). The TImeout option sends data to the printer a specified number of seconds after the application last writes to a file. If your timeout is not long enough, you may have problems printing some files, especially files with graphics. Increase the timeout if only parts of files are being printed or if the files do not print at all.Default: TI=0 (TImeout disabled)Autoendcap idxid="w8569"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i580"Include this option if you want to send data to a network printer or to a network file when you exit or enter an application. Autoendcap is useful if you want to save several different idxid="w8570"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i424"screens or files from the same application to the same network file. Autoendcap does not automatically end the capture of an LPT: port as its name implies.Default: Autoendcap enabledNoAutoendcapInclude this option to prevent data from being sent to a network printer or a file when you enter or exit an application. This option is useful if you want to save different screens or files from different applications to the same network file.Local=n idxid="w8571"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i905"idxid="w8572"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i3344"Include this option to indicate which of your workstation's idxid="w8573"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5174"LPT: idxid="w8574"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i3574"ports (local parallel printing ports) to capture. Replace n with 1, 2, or 3.

Replace fileserver with the name of the file server.Default: Your default file serverQueue=queuenameidxid="w8576"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5282"Include this option to indicate which idxid="w8577"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i905"queue the print job should be sent to. If multiple queues are mapped to a printer, you must include this option to specify the appropriate queue. Replace queuename with the name of a queue. Default: The queue that Spooler 0 has been assigned toCReate=pathInclude this option to create a file in which to store data. Specify where you want to store the file (file server, volume, directory, and filename).You must use a network drive with the CReate option. If you want to save the file in your default (current) directory, replace path with the name of the file you want to create.Job=jobconfigurationInclude this option to specify which print job configuration to use. You can define print job configurations using PRINTCON. Replace jobconfiguration with the name of the print job configuration.Default: The first job configuration created in PRINTCONForm=form or nInclude this option to specify which idxid="w8578"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i905"form to print the job on. Replace form with the name of the form, or replace n with the number of the form. (You must define forms using PRINTDEF before users can use form names instead of numbers.)Default: F=0Copies=nInclude this option to indicate how many copies you want to print. Replace n with the number of copies (1 to 999).Default: C=1Tabs=n idxid="w8579"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6687"Include this option if your application does not have a print formatter (most applications do). Replace n with a number (0 to 18). The number of spaces you specify indicates the number of characters in one tab stop.Default: T=8NoTabsInclude this option if your application has a print formatter (most applications produce printer-specific codes). This option ensures that all the tab characters in your print job arrive at the printer unchanged. However, the appearance of the tab character varies according to the printer that you use. Use this option if you have problems printing graphics.NoBannerInclude this option to specify that no banner page be printed.NAMe=nameInclude this option to specify the text that appears on the upper part of the banner page. Replace name with any word or phrase up to 12 characters long.Default: The username you used to log inBanner=bannernameInclude this option to specify the text that appears on the lower part of the banner page. Replace bannername with any word or phrase up to 12 characters long. You can use an underline character to represent a space between words (for example, ON_THE_GO); however, the underline character is printed.Default: Your username and the print job file nameFormFeed idxid="w8580"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i2479"Include this option to enable form feed after your print job has been printed. FormFeed enabled means that the printer starts printing the next job at the top of the next sheet of paper. However, if an application automatically enables form feed at the end of a file, adding this option causes an extra blank page to be fed through.Default: FormFeed enabledNoFormFeedInclude this option to disable form feed at the printer.Keep idxid="w8581"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i905"Include this option to ensure that the file server keeps all data it receives from your workstation if your workstation hangs or loses power while you are capturing data to the file server. When the file server notices your workstation is no longer connected, it sends the data it received from your workstation to a print queue for printing. Use this option if you plan to capture data over several hours.If you do not include the Keep option and your workstation hangs during the capture, the file server discards the data it has received.Additional InformationEnd the CAPTURE CommandThe data you have captured is not printed or sent to a file unless you end CAPTURE and send your data to a network printer or a file. End CAPTURE and send data by using one of the following:idxid="w8582"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i905"Autoendcap idxid="w8583"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i580"optionTImeout optionENDCAP commandThe Autoendcap option is the default setting for CAPTURE. Autoendcap sends data to the printer when (but not until) you exit an application. Autoendcap is useful if you want to save several different screens or files from the same application to the same network file. A new capture session starts automatically.The TImeout option sends data to the printer a specified number of seconds after the application last writes to a file. TImeout is useful if you want to print from an application without exiting the application. After the specified amount of time, a new capture session starts automatically.The idxid="w8584"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i914"ENDCAP command performs two functions:Sends data to the printer.Ends the capture of an LPT: port.To use ENDCAP effectively to send data to the printer, disable the Autoendcap and the TImeout options in CAPTURE by typing  CAPTURE NA TI=0 <Enter>The data will not be sent to the printer until you enter the ENDCAP command at the DOS prompt.Prevent Your Workstation from HangingYour workstation may hang if you press <Shift><Print Screen> when none of your LPT: ports are captured and no local printers are attached to your workstation.

The name you assign appears on the print server console.TypeYou must select one of the following types of printer connections:Local Parallel/Serial. A local printer is connected to the print server.Remote Parallel/Serial. A remote printer is connected to a workstation on the network. You must run RPRINTER to use a remote printer. (See IDREF="FM40560""RPRINTER" on page 168.)Remote Other/Unknown. This option provides the print server information about the printer when you run RPRINTER. This allows you to set up a printing slot for a remote printer without specifying which port the printer is attached to.Defined elsewhere. Use this designation when you are defining printers on multiple file servers. You do not need to enter all the printer information on each file server. Enter the connection information on the file server where you originally installed the print server and then select "Defined elsewhere" on all subsequent file servers.InterruptsInterrupts are used to signal the processor of some event that needs attention. Most devices in the computer are configured to use a particular interrupt. You should have recorded the interrupts your printing ports use.If you are using a remote printer, you must select an interrupt.If you are using built-in printing ports, check the documentation that came with your computer for the printing port interrupt.If you cannot change the configuration of your printing port or if you have used all available interrupts, you can use the "polled" designation. Polled printing does not use interrupts and may be a slower method of sending data to the printer.If you use interrupts, you need to select a value for the IRQ.IRQIf you choose to use interrupts, you must enter a value that corresponds with your hardware setting. Enter a value between 3 and 7 inclusive that does not conflict with any other settings you have made.Buffer SizeThe buffer size is the amount of memory in a printer's buffer. The amount must be between 1 KB and 20 KB inclusive. We recommend that you use the default setting of 3 KB.ID="FM40469"Starting FormForms (or types of paper used in printing) are defined in PRINTDEF and are assigned a number between 0 and 255. The starting form is the default.Queue Service ModeYou can specify how your printer handles different kinds of forms. You can choose from four service modes:Change forms as needed. The printer prints all print jobs in the order they are received, regardless of the form.Minimize form changes across queues. The printer prints jobs in the highest priority queue that requires the mounted form. It then searches other queues (in order of priority) for print jobs that require the mounted form.Minimize form changes within queues. The printer prints jobs that require the mounted form first.Service only currently mounted form. The printer prints only jobs that require the mounted form, beginning with the highest priority queue.The remaining parameters have to do only with printers that use a serial connection. Be sure to check your printer documentation for specific information regarding these parameters.Baud RateBaud rate is the rate at which data travels across the cable or wire. The higher the baud rate for a serial printer, the faster the transmission of data.Data BitsData bits specifies the number of bits used to form a character. Choose a value between 5 and 8 inclusive.Stop BitsA stop bit indicates the end of a character. You can choose a value of 1, 1.5, or 2.ParityParity is a method of error checking. The most common parity values are odd, even, or none.XON/XOFFXON/XOFF is one of many methods used to prevent the sending system from transmitting data faster than the receiving system can accept the information. You can use XON/XOFF if your printer supports it.ID="FM63220"Remove Printers from the idxid="w8681"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5376"Print ServerYou can remove printers from the list of those serviced by a print server.ProcedureFrom PCONSOLE, select "Print Server Information" from the "Available Options" menu.Select a print server from the "Print Servers" list.Select "Print Server Configuration" from the "Print Server Information" list.Select "Printer Configuration" from the "Print Server Configuration" menu.Highlight the printer in the "Configured Printers" list and press <Delete>.Select "Yes" at the "Delete Printer" box.ID="FM88155"Change Printer ConfigurationThe idxid="w8682"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"printer configuration tells the print server what kind of printer you are using.

If, however, your application is not designed for network printing, you may want to use PRINTCON to set up some general types of print formats.PRINTCON creates a file, PRINTCON.DAT, in each user's MAIL ID directory. Since users have Write and Create rights in their ID directory, they can create and modify their own print jobs.As Supervisor, you can create a configuration (stored in the Supervisor MAIL ID directory) and copy it to other users. Or, you can copy the print job configuration of one user to any other user on the network. When you copy a configuration, however, you overwrite (without being prompted) the print job configurations created by the user.If you use PRINTCON, you should use PRINTDEF first to set up a database of printer definitions.

To define a printer's functions, you enter escape sequences or printer commands into the PRINTDEF database. To do this, you need the technical reference manual that came with your printer.Enter a Device FunctionAs a network supervisor, you can define a printer's functions by completing the following steps.ProcedureID="FM27630"From PRINTDEF, select "Print Devices" from the "PrintDef Options" menu.Select "Edit Print Devices" from the "Print Device Options" menu.Press <Insert> at the "Defined Print Devices" list.Type the name of the print device in the "New Device Name" entry box and press <Enter>.

When you enter the escape sequences, you must type each character, including the angle brackets < >. The escape sequence must be entered in a manner that NetWare recognizes. Press <F1> for Help.For example, to enter the HP LaserJet print function for reset, you would type  <ESC>E <Enter>To save and insert the new escape sequence into the "Functions" list, press <Escape> and then <Enter>.When you enter the print functions, be sure to include the reset escape sequence.Repeat IDREF="FM27630"Steps 1 through 4 for each function or escape sequence you want to enter.(Optional) Edit any of the device functions.Use the Backspace key to erase the current information and type in the new name or escape sequence. Press <Escape> and then <Enter> to save the modified function.After you have entered all the device functions, press <Escape> to return to the "Edit Device Options" menu.Because NetWare can place the functions only at the beginning or end of a print job, the best functions to use are those that affect the entire document (such as Condensed or Landscape).ID="FM81096"Define Print Device ModesAfter you idxid="w8732"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5167"define the functions for a idxid="w8733"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5461"print device, you can combine these functions into modes. A mode is a sequence of print functions that tells the printer how to print a particular job.For example, you could create a Final Print Out mode for the HP LaserJet that would include the functions for 10 cpi, Emphasized printing, and Near-letter quality printing.As a network supervisor, you must determine what your printing needs are and then define the modes by completing the following steps.ProcedureFrom PRINTDEF, select "Device Modes" from the "Edit Device Options" menu.The "(Re-initialize)" mode appears in the "Your printer Modes" entry box.

It is the only mode that does this.To set up the "(Re-initialize mode)," press <Enter>.To see a list of all defined functions for a print device, press <Insert>. Most print devices have a single escape sequence for reset. Select the function or escape sequence for resetting the printer.For example, to define the Re-initialize mode for the HP LaserJet, select the following escape sequence:  Reset <ESC>eIf your printer does not have a single reset function, you must enter all your printer's "Cancel" functions into the Re-initialize mode.

New Mode Name is replaced by the name of the mode you are defining.The order of the functions in the functions list may be important to the printer. Normally, any function you add is placed at the end of the list. However, you can insert a new function anywhere in the "New Mode Name Functions" list by highlighting the function preceding the line where you want the new function added. Then press <F5> (the Mark key).

For information on using the menu, see IDREF="FM85573""Connect a Remote Printer to a Print Server (menu)" on page 170.Additional InformationA idxid="w8785"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5533"remote printer can be attached to any workstation that is attached to the same network or internetwork as the print server.The remote printer file is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program. It is loaded into the workstation's memory and runs in the background until it is removed or until the workstation is rebooted. The TSR remains active even if the file server goes down.You must load RPRINTER for each printer attached to the workstation.You do not need to be logged in to the file server to run RPRINTER; however, you must have the NetWare shell loaded.You can insert RPRINTER into the idxid="w8786"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6077"AUTOEXEC.BAT file of the workstation being used as a remote printer. Then RPRINTER loads automatically each time you boot the workstation.Before you can connect a remote printer, you must use PCONSOLE toDefine the idxid="w8787"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5178"remote printer.Assign a queue to be serviced by the remote printer.You must also add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:  SPX=60As part of defining the printer in PCONSOLE, you must specify if the remote printer is connected to a parallel or serial port. If you want to specify the port type in RPRINTER rather than in PCONSOLE, use the "Remote Unknown" designation.For more information on defining printers and mapping queues, see IDREF="FM14301"Chapter 2, "Print Server Installation" on page 17.To run the remote printer software, you must have access to the following idxid="w8788"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6070"files:ID="FM22687"IBM$RUN.OVLRPRINTER.EXERPRINTER.HLPSYS$HELP.DATSYS$MSG.DATSYS$ERR.DATThese files are copied into the SYS:PUBLIC directory during installation.

Complete the following steps.ProcedureFrom RPRINTER, select the print server you want to use.Select a printer number based on the printer name.If you selected "Remote/Other Unknown" when you defined your printer type in PCONSOLE, you must enter the specific printer information now.Specify whether your printer is parallel or serial by pressing <Enter> in the "Printer Definition" screen. Select which parallel or serial port you want to attach your printer to.If you chose a parallel printer, press <Escape> to connect your remote printer.If you chose a serial printer, check the default printer settings. If you need to make any changes, select the setting for a list of possible options. Then select the new setting and press <Escape> to connect your remote printer.Connect a Remote Printer to a Print Server (command line)Suppose you have a parallel printer attached to idxid="w8790"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6077"LPT1: on Jack's workstation and want to use it as a network printer connected to print server MICKEY.When you set up the configuration files for print server MICKEY, you define Printer2 as a remote printer.To connect the printer at Jack's workstation to print server MICKEY, type  RPRINTER mickey 2 <Enter>The following message appears:  Remote printer now installedThe remote printer software has been loaded, and the printer functions like any other network printer.Disconnect a idxid="w8791"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5178"Remote Printer from a Print ServerSuppose you want to idxid="w8792"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6070"disconnect Printer2 from idxid="w8793"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5376"print server MINNIE.

What happens to the job after it is in the queue depends on how you have set up your printer mappings.To save the spooler assignments permanently, include them in the system idxid="w8800"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6441"AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Each time the file server is booted, the spooler assignments are automatically set up. You can complete this task in SYSCON under "Supervisor Options."ID="FM84970"Create a Default Queue for NPRINT and CAPTUREAll print requests are submitted to queues. If you do not specify a queue when making a print request with CAPTURE or NPRINT, the SPOOL 0 mapping (or the default print job you create in PRINTCON) sends the print job to a queue for you.Suppose you create an ACCOUNTS print queue. You want it to be the default queue if you do not specify a queue when using NPRINT and CAPTURE. To create the corresponding spooler, type  SPOOL 0 TO ACCOUNTS <Enter>Suppose you did not specify a queue using NPRINT and typed only  NPRINT REPORT <Enter>The spooler directs the REPORT file to the ACCOUNTS queue. The print server takes the request out of the queue and sends it to whichever printer is mapped to the ACCOUNTS queue.If you have created a default print job in PRINTCON, the default queue specified in the print job takes precedence over the SPOOL 0 mapping.ID="FM98747"Create Spooler AssignmentsYou also need spooler assignments to support applications that send requests to printer numbers.If an application tries to send a job to a printer, the spooler intercepts that job and puts it into a queue. The job is then serviced by whichever printer is mapped to that queue.The printer numbers used by applications are logical printer numbers (0 through 4 are used by earlier versions of NetWare) and do not correspond to the 16 printer numbers used by the print server.Suppose you use an application that sends print jobs to Printer1. idxid="w8801"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6441"You want these jobs printed on a LaserJet printer you have defined as Printer3 on your print server.

It is not intended to be exhaustive. If you need more help, contact your Novell Authorized Reseller.General suggestionsMany printing problems can be traced back to incorrect or incomplete print server installations. It's always wise to check the installation configurations first.Some of the common causes of printing problems are incomplete installations, conflicting interrupts (IRQ settings), and faulty hardware.Print queues occasionally become corrupted. If all other troubleshooting solutions fail, delete the print queues and print servers, and then re-create them.Print Jobs Go to the Queue but Don't Get Sent to the PrinterPossible CausesThe idxid="w8805"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5210"print server/print queue configuration is incorrect.The hardware (card, cable, port) is not working properly.The idxid="w8806"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i2955"interrupts are configured incorrectly.The idxid="w8807"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"printer is cabled incorrectly.A printer definition is needed for that particular printer.The NET.CFG file on a workstation using RPRINTER has LOCAL PRINTERS=0.The printer is offline, jammed, or out of paper.A idxid="w8808"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6910"remote printer is set to "Private."Possible SolutionsCheck all the print server/print queue installation information in PCONSOLE.Recheck all your hardware connections. Some LPT: ports that are part of a monitor board seem to have problems, so you might try LPT2: or a system board port.If the printer is serial and is configured to use interrupts, it may be configured for IRQ 7. If so, the interrupt must be changed for COM: ports. Use IRQ 4 for COM1: and IRQ 3 for COM2:.Recheck the printer cabling. The message in the print server screen should say "Waiting for job."Check to see if a printer definition file exists for your printer.If you're using a remote printer, check the NET.CFG file on the workstation attached to the printer. If the NET.CFG file includes the line LOCAL PRINTERS=0, you should either remove the line or change it to include the appropriate numeric value.Check the printer for messages.Check the settings on the remote printer.Print Jobs Go to the idxid="w8809"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"Printer but Print Very Slowly or Print Unknown CharactersPossible CausesThe idxid="w8810"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6910"printer configuration needs to be changed.The hardware (card, cable, port) is not working properly. For example, some idxid="w8811"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i5482"printer ports do not generate interrupts.If the idxid="w8812"book="_idx" docset="nw312" tidref="i6910"printer is a remote printer, the workstation it is attached to may not run the RPRINTER program effectively.Possible SolutionsIf the printer is local and is configured to use interrupts, switch to not using interrupts. Switching frequently resolves this problem, even when no hardware conflict is apparent.Recheck all your hardware connections. Some LPT: ports that are part of a monitor board have problems. Try LPT2: or a system board port.If you're using a remote printer attached to a workstation using RPRINTER, try another machine for the workstation. Some workstations work more effectively than others with RPRINTER.
