Installing Print Server on NetWare 4.x/5.x
Due to its architecture and functionality, the print server must work under NetWare 4.x/5.x NDS Bindery
Emulation. When you install the NetWare file server for the first time, by default, the installation program will
automatically set up the Bindery Emulation function for you by adding “SET BINDERY CONTEXT =” in the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file. By default, the bindery context will only be set on your organization (O) object.
If you have ever modified this line, or if you have ever added any organization units (OU) to your NDS tree after
the NetWare system was installed, please read the following section before you install the print server.
For the purpose of illustration, we assume the NDS tress structure is as follows:
[ROOT]
(O)ABC
(OU)ABC-USA
(OU)Sales
Admin
FileServer-1
(OU) Tech
Installation Procedure
1.
At your file server console, type “load install”.

SNMP Setup
TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). SNMP is widely used in the industry as a solution for remote network management and monitoring of
networking devices. SNMP actually includes a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of
database objects. The database objects are contained in a standard database called Management Information
Base (MIB) that is stored on the networking device called SNMP agent. The print server's SNMP
implementation runs in a TCP/IP environment.
A host on the network running Network Management System (NMS) software can access the print server
device by reading and writing the MIB objects stored in the device. The Network Management Systems are
available from many third-party vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.
When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server using NMS software called SNMP manager,
you need to provide a community name in each SNMP request for authentication purpose. The print server
supports up to two community names. The default community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only
access right in default.
When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent alerts the SNMP manager through SNMP
traps. Following list summaries SNMP trap messages that the print server will send out.
Activities/SNMP Trap Messages
Description
Link Up or Link Down
When the network interface on the print server fails, a link down trap message
is generated; if the network interface comes back to life, a link up trap
message is sent.
Cold Start or Warm Start
When the print server restarts, the cold start or warm start trap message is
generated.
Authentication Failure
When the print server received a SNMP request with a community name that
does not match the community name the print server is configured with
(stored in the print server's memory), an authentication failure trap message is
generated.
In the print server's SNMP implementation, the following MIB objects are available for updating.
MIB Object Names
system.sysContact
Description
Indicates the network administrator's name.
system.sysName
Indicates the print server's name for identification.
system.sysLocation
Indicates the location of the print server.
snmp.snmpEnableAuthenTraps
Enables or disables the function of sending SNMP Authentication Failure trap
message to the network administrator, if the community name within a SNMP
request is not correct.

The Print Server can work under any Linux-based systems, including Slackware, RedHat, etc, without any
problems.
Basically, the Linux's printing system is based on BSD system. Although many commercial Linux systems are
available in the market and their commands will vary slightly, depending upon which version is used, the
functionality of the Linux-based variants is exactly the same.
Following are the outlined procedures (recommended for all users) on Red Hat Linux 7.2/7.3 with X-Window
system installed.
a. Make sure that the TCP/IP is well configured on your RedHat system, including network interface
card's driver and IP-related settings say, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP).
b. Log in root.
c.
Assign Print Server an IP address. At shell mode:
c.1. arp -s <the IP address you want to assign to the Print Server> < Print Server 's Node ID>
c.2. Execute tftp < Print Server 's IP> get config.txt and quit tftp.
c.3. Edit the config.txt and modify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP. When done, save
the config.txt.
c.4. Execute tftp <Print Server 's IP> put config.txt and quit tftp.
d. Start X-windows by typing startx at the shell mode.

General Troubleshooting Overview
The most common problems, which cause the print server to perform improperly, are covered in this chapter. If
a problem still exists after reading this chapter, please contact your dealer for technical support.
LED Light Indicators
The print server is equipped with two LED lights to assist in diagnosing problems that are the result of the
network and/or the print server hardware itself.
Power (Orange)
When this light is on, the print server unit is properly connected to the power adapter.
1
9-1
Troubleshooting
Status (Orange)
When the print server unit is powered on, the Status LED will flash five times as part of the unit’s Power On Self
Test (POST). This indicates that the print server hardware is properly configured. This LED, however, may
flicker whenever the data are being transmitted and printed.
Note: Make sure that the Orange LED flashes five times (POST) upon connecting the power. If the unit does
not flash five times, contact your dealer for a replacement or repair.
Flow/Link (Green)
If the network cabling is Twisted-Pair Cable, and when this light is ON, the Twisted-Pair cable connection is
problem free.
Cable Related Problems
In most cases, the print server fails to send and receive network data due to incorrect use of the network cable
and/or to connector problems. Twisted-Pair Cable is 10BaseT/100BaseT 8-wire Unshielded Twisted-Pair
Cable. The pin assignments for the RJ-45 connector used for this cable must conform to the UTP cable
specifications.
Power Related Problems
The print server requires an external AC power adapter in order for it to function. If you have a power problem,
check to see whether the power cord or its connectors are damaged. More importantly, check to see that the
AC power adapter included with the print server matches the AC voltage in your country or area. Using an
incorrect AC adapter will damage your print server.
Print Port Related Problems
Printing data failure may be caused by a loose connection of the print server to the Centronics parallel port of
the printer. Check to see if any of the pins on the 36-pin connector are damaged. In addition, check the cable
connection. If the pins are damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement connector.
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP Troubleshooting
Multi-Segment LAN Environment Installation (through the Network Print Port)
If your print server and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP are located on two different segments, and your
Windows NT server is used as the router/gateway you will need to implement the following procedures in order
for your print server to function properly:
Add the RIP for NWLink IPX/SPX compatible transport. See RIP for NWLink IPX/SPX compatible
transport Installation Procedure later in this section.
Add the frame type 802.2 for both Ethernet adapters. See Multi-Segment Frame Type 802.2 Installation

Moving Your Computer to A New Segment
If you are using the print server through the Network Print Port on your NT or Windows 95/98/Me computer and
your computer is going to be moved onto another segment, you have to reconfigure the print server on your
computer to use your print server. However, this situation is like moving the print server to a new segment.
Please refer to the “Moving the print server to a new segment” section for more detailed reconfiguration
instructions.
Novell NetWare Troubleshooting
Many printing problems can be traced back to incorrect or incomplete print server installations. It is always wise
to check the installation configurations first.
In some cases, if necessary, delete the print server, print queue(s) or other setting(s). Next recreate the
necessary parameters or reconfigure the print server by running the PSAdmin.

Troubleshooting
TCP/IP Troubleshooting
When you are configuring a new print server on your NT/UNIX server through LPR Port printing under TCP/IP
protocol, you might encounter the following problem in your initial installation steps:
" I can do the "arp" command. However, when I am going to ping or tftp the print server, it always shows
Request timed out. I have checked the print server’s power and it exactly passed the POST. Besides, the
network cabling is OK. As such, I can't do tftp command to get and put the print server's configuration file and
save its IP address permanently. I can't, therefore, continue installing the print server."
Regarding this problem, there are three possible causes:
A. The print server's Node ID you specified in the "arp" command is not correct.
If this is the case, please ensure the Node ID field in the corresponding entry of the print server's IP address in
NT's ARP cache table is correct by typing the following command at NT's DOS prompt.
"arp -a"
If the Node ID shown on the screen doesn't match the print server's Node ID, please follow the instructions
below to reset the entry.
1. At NT's DOS prompt, type "arp -d <print server's IP address>" to delete the current entry.
2. Type "arp -s <print server's IP> <print server's Node ID>" to specify a new ARP entry.
3. Refer to Chapter 7 for the detailed instructions to complete the installation.
B. The print server's IP address is duplicated or is as same as another computer's IP address on the
network.
If this is the case, please consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address for your print
server.
C. The print server is on one segment and your Windows NT server is on the other segment.
(This troubleshooting guide will also apply to a multiple-segmented network while installing the print server)
For example, assuming the print server is on Segment A, NT server is on Segment B, and there is a gateway
computer between Segment A and Segment B. The network might be a complete TCP/IP network, or a hybrid
of TCP/IP and IPX/SPX network.
If this is the case, you have to adopt the following steps, depending on which platform the gateway computer is.
a. If the gateway computer is a NT/UNIX server:
You have to do the same "arp" command to specify an entry on the NT/UNIX computer as a gateway in
order for it to forward your subsequent "ping" or/and "tftp" commands to the print server.
b. If the gateway computer is a Novell NetWare file server:
1. Due to the presence of this NetWare file server, the IPX/SPX protocol might be used on your network.
Therefore, we strongly suggest you run the PSAdmin from any client computer and select "Manual
Setup" to specify the print server's IP address (For more detailed information about Manual Setup,
please refer to Chapter 3).
2. If the solution described above is not applicable, you have to follow the instructions below to set up the
print server's IP address.
For the purpose of explanation, we assume the NT server is on Segment A and its IP address is 192.72.214.66
(subnet mask: 255.255.255.224), the print server is going to be installed on Segment B, with IP address, for
example, 192.72.214.100.
5
9-5
Troubleshooting
1. Find an unused IP address on Segment A for temporary use in the following steps, for example,
192.72.214.68.
2. Connect your print server to Segment A as a networked node.
3. On your NT server, type, for example, "arp -s 192.72.214.68 00-40-01-3F-02-AB". Please note, in this arp
command you have to type 192.72.214.68 on purpose. Do not type this IP address as 192.72.214.100.
4. Type "tftp 192.722.214.68 get config.txt". The configuration file will then be retrieved and transferred to your
NT server.
5. Type "edit config.txt" to modify this configuration file.
6. In your editor, modify "BoxIPAddress" field from "0.0.0.0" to "192.72.214.100". Leave other options as
default and do not change their values. When done, save this new file and quit from your editor. Please
note, in this step you must specify an IP address which is valid on Segment B, such as
192.72.214.100 in this example, rather than 192.72.214.68.
7. Type, for example, "tftp 192.72.214.68 put config.txt" to save this new configuration back to print server.
8. Move the print server back to the Segment B.
9. Done!
