4.2 Windows NT/2000 Server Installation and

Setup

Please follow the procedures described below for installation of a peer-to-peer connection (PTPP) between a Windows NT/2000 Server and the HPS12U.

Step1.

If this is your first time installing the print server, please install the administrator software on your Windows

NT/2000 server first. Refer to section 3.2 for installation instructions.

If your network has already an installed working print server and your Windows NT/2000 server has not yet installed the PTPP driver, please install the client software. Refer to section 3.4 and 3.5 for installation instructions.

Step2.

Please add/configure Peer-to-Peer Printing on your

Windows NT/2000 network printer and verify that you

can print from Windows NT/2000 to the print server through the installed PTPP driver.

Step3.

Share the above server’s printer with the network by performing the standard Windows printer sharing installation process.

4.3 User Installation and Setup

After the server side installation is completed, the client side will be able to find the server’s shared printer in your Network Neighborhood. You will then need to perform Window’s standard Add New Printer procedure.

Select “Network Printer” as shown in the screen below, and complete the configurations to access the shared printer.

5. NetWare Network

5.1 System Architecture

We implemented the NetWare printer sharing functionality into the HPS12U, to allow one or more printers attached to the print server to be connected to your network. The HPS12U can support NetWare print server functions:

- The embedded print server, which emulates the “queue management functionality” of the NetWare print server, is the PSERVER program running on the NetWare server. A user first prints a job at a workstation; the job is routed to a NetWare server. The NetWare server then stores the job in a print queue and the print server gets the print job from the queue to the printer on your network.

Windows 98

Print Queue

Netware Server Print Server

Windows 2000

The advantages of embedding the NetWare network printing functionality in the print server include:

Quick and easy installation.

Easy network management.

Enhanced printing performance.

Relief of NetWare’s file server burden.

Each print server should log into a NetWare server before servicing the print jobs. Each print server will occupy a user account with which it can log into the NetWare server.

5.2 NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x Installation & Setup

Once your print server is connected to your Ethernet network, you can set it up for use with your networking software. There are two methods you can use to do this easily:

Please note that, you need install the IPX protocol before continuing to install the print server.

1. In a DOS environment or DOS Windows, use the

“INSTALL” quick-installation program found on the

<CD-ROM Drive>\DOSUTIL of CD-ROM included with the print server.

2. In a DOS environment or DOS Windows box, use the

“PSETUP” configuration program found on the included

<CD-ROM Drive>\DOSUTIL; configure the print server to use a particular file server. Then, use NetWare’s

PCONSOLE program to create a NetWare print server and print queue with the appropriate names.

5.2. Installation Using PSETUP

5.2.1.1 Configuring in Print Server Mode

For more complex setup needs, you can use the PSETUP program in conjunction with the NetWare PCONSOLE program.

The installation procedure is as follows:

1. From a workstation, log in to your NetWare server as

SUPERVISOR.

2. Run the PSETUP program included on the CD-ROM.

( Ex. e:\dosutil\psetup.exe )

3. Select your new print server from the list provided.

4. Choose NetWare Configuration from the menu.

5. Select the Print server in the Printing mode field.

6. Change the Alias of the print server if you wish.

7. Set the Primary File Server to be the file server where the print server’s queue will be located.

8. Press Escape to exit the Print Server Configuration screen, confirm that the changes should be saved, and exit

PSETUP.

At this point the print server setup is complete. You can now begin setting up the NetWare print server and print queue objects:

9. Run the NetWare PCONSOLE program.

10. Change the current file server, if necessary, using the Change Current File Server menu selection.

11. Choose the Print Queue Information menu selection.

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

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

14. You have now successfully created the print queue that your print server will serve. Press the Escape key until the Available Options main menu is displayed.

15. Select “Print Server Information.”

16. Press the Insert key to add a new NetWare print server object. The print server name can be identical to the PSxxxxxx name printed on the label of the print server, or you can use an alias name you have assigned using PSETUP.

17. Press Enter to select the newly created print server.

18. Select “Print Server Configuration.”

19. Select “Printer Configuration.”

20. Select Printer 0 (or Printer 1, Printer 2), and press

Enter, then select Parallel LPT1 (or LPT2, LPT3) in the

Type field. If your print server has only one port, you do not need to configure this Type field.

21. Press Escape, and answer Yes to the Save Changes question.

22. Select Queues Serviced by Printer, then select

Printer 0 (or Printer 1, Printer 2) and press Enter.

23. Press Insert and add your newly created print queue to the list of queues serviced by the printer. Enter a priority number for the queue service, or press Enter to accept the default.

24. Repeatedly press Escape to exit the PCONSOLE program.

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

NOTE: If the print server you have is with multiple printer connectors, you may create multiple print queues and printer objects.

Your print server should now be ready to use. You should be able to redirect printing to your print server using a CAPTURE command like the one shown in the previous section.

6. UNIX System Network

6.1 Introduction

The HPS12U can use TCP/IP printing through the Unix lpd (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The lpd protocol is based on the BSD version of Unix and is supported under most versions of Unix.

This chapter explains how to configure the print server for TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configuration files on your Unix system to allow printing to the print server. The configuration examples in this manual follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related system documentation for the correct syntax of your system.

To configure the print server for lpd printing, perform the following procedures below:

1. Enable the HPS12U’s TCP/IP Support.

2. Set the HPS12U’s IP address.

3. Verify the HPS12U’s IP Address.

4. Configure remote lpd printing on the host.

5. Print a test page.

In the next section, we will describe these five procedures in depth.

6.2 Enable The HPS12U’s TCP/IP Support

The default configuration of the HPS12U has TCP/IP support enabled. You can configure the HPS12U to enable

TCP/IP support using the configuration program or

PSETUP program included on the HPS12U CD-ROM.

6.3 Setup the HPS12U’s IP Address

The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.

You can set up the IP address on various Unix systems using any one of the following methods:

1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).

6.3.1 DHCP

There are many Unix systems that support the DHCP protocol and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. This manual does not describe the

DHCP server configuration on Unix systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as the HPS12U.

6.3.2 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your

UNIX and is accessible to the print server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the print server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the print server. If you use

Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP

services before doing the following BOOTP configuration.

To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in as the host of the BOOTP server with superuser (root) admin rights. Perform the following steps to add address entries:

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print server’s IP address. You can add this address to the

/etc/hosts file, by adding the following line:

203.66.191.12 pserver

2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following: hostname:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\

:ip=print_server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

Where hostname is the device name of the HPS12U; the ht=1 tag specifies that the hardware type is Ethernet. The ha= tag specifies that the Ethernet address of the HPS12U is the Node ID located on the print server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the print server.

For example, below is an example of a print server with the following configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 0000B4010101),

IP address: 203.66.191.12

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

PS010101:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=0000B4010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

6.4 Verify the HPS12U’s IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address, use a PING command to check the HPS12U’s response: ping ip-address

6.5 Configure Remote lpd Printing on the Host

You can use this procedure to configure your Unix host(s) to allow printing to your network. The procedure below can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD

Unix, like SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:

1. The print server should be treated as a BSD networked print server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the print server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the parallel port on the print server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure your Unix host for printing,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print server’s IP address. You can add this address to the

/etc/hosts file, by adding the following line:

203.66.191.186 pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd: mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following: printer-name:\

:lp=:\

:rm=203.66.191.186:\

:rp=lpt1:\

:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\

:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\

:mx#0:

Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars

(name1|name2).

The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the print server. You can also use a host name if you have one assigned in the /etc/hosts file.

The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous step.

The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote printer. The values should be lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3, depending on which printer port your printer is attached to.

The HPS12U should now be available for printing from your Unix host.

7. Configuration Utility

9. IPP Printing

9.1 Introduction

The IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) provides you with a convenient method for remote printing jobs via the

TCP/IP protocol. The HPS12U 2 USB + 1 Parallel Port

10/100M Print Server can support IPP printing capabilities. It is not necessary to modify any of the print server’s internal settings to use the IPP printing features.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP computers can use IPP printing functions through the operating system’s internal

IPP functionality. IPP printing will let you share your network printer with any PC that can access the HPS12U print server by IP. You can even share your printer with users over the Internet who know your printer model, printer port, and IP address of your HPS12U.

9.2 System Setup

9.2.1 Print Server Side

It is not necessary to modify your IPP settings on the print server side. Make sure you know your print server’s

IPP settings and make sure they are correctly set to your network’s IP settings. Contact your system administrator if you are unfamiliar with your network’s routed IP settings. If you would like to share your printer with

Internet users outside of your internal network structure, you will have to set an outside IP address that can access the print server. You also have to make sure that any gateway, router or firewall does not block the IPP protocol if you have those devices installed. Please contact your system administrator or consult your router’s manual for DMZ or port mapping configuration settings.

9.2.2 Client Side

You will need to perform Window’s standard Add New

Printer procedure. To do this, select the “Network

Printer” setting as shown in the screen below and click

“Next.”

Select “Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home

or office network” and enter the URL of your HPS12U print server. The URL format will be

“ http://IP/LPT_PORT:631

”. The IP portion of the URL will be the print server’s IP address. LPT_PORT is the port name of your print server that your printer is connected to. For one port print servers, the port name will be “lpt1”. For

Hawking’s three-port print server, the port names are – lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depending on which printer port your printers are connected to. (Please write down the printer port and corresponding printer model for configuring our line of multiple port print servers.) The last number you will need to write down after the port name and colon will be 631. 631 is the IPP standard port number for IPP printing requests. An example IP address will be modeled as follows: The URL will be http://192.168.12.13/lpt1:631

for a print server located on the

first printer port (lpt1) of the IP address 192.168.12.13.

(lpt2 and lpt3 for printers located on the 2 nd

and 3 r d

ports respectively.) After entering the URL of print server, click “Next ” and complete the remaining configuration settings to access the shared network printer.
