The program will setup a link to the 3000E and display its home page. To display the EcoLAN 3000E print server name in addition to the SAP ID for all units: 1. Select Show All under the Options menu. Because this operation requires that each EcoLAN 3000E be accessed, it may take a long time to complete if there are many EcoLAN 3000E units on the network. 3.1.3 Extensive On-Line Help When using the MAP program, there is an extensive on-line help system which fully explains all of the program's features and menus. The on-line help is contextsensitive. Browser Based Management 3-2 3.2 Management with an IP Web Browser Once an IP address has been assigned to the EcoLAN 3000E, an IP web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, may be used to access the EcoLAN 3000E for monitoring and maintenance. For information on assigning an IP address to the 3000E, see Chapter 5 to assign from Windows, see Chapter 6 to assign from a Macintosh, see Chapter 7 to assign from Unix, or see Chapter 8 to assign from the front panel. 3.2.1 Accessing and Configuring the 3000E from the Browser An individual EcoLAN 3000E may be accessed by entering its URL in the browser. Alternatively, an automatic IP unit discovery utility may be installed which will display a list of all active EcoLAN 3000E units. For more information on this utility see section 3.3 Automatic IP Unit Discovery. Use the following procedure to access the 3000E by entering its URL in the browser: 1. Open up your browser by clicking on its icon. 2. For the URL, type in the IP address of the EcoLAN 3000E. For example, if the 3000E IP address is 202.26.7.124, then type: http://202.26.7.124 to access the 3000E home page. If you have problems connecting, make sure you are using the correct IP address. 3. The 3000E home page contains links to Kyocera printer company sites around the world where the latest Kyocera printer information, driver updates, and utilities may be obtained. 4. To perform management of the 3000E, click on the 3000E Configuration link. This provides a complete list of configuration options, such as protocol setup, status page configuration, etc. Choose the desired option for configuration. Note: To be able to change parameter values with the Management Access Program or a web browser, you must know the EcoLAN 3000E management password. The factory default password is "sysadm". This password is case sensitive. The default password may be changed with MAP or with a web browser. 3.2.2 Extensive On-Line Help The HTTP Server includes help text for each screen. Just click on the word "Help" on the HTTP Server screen. Browser Based Management 3-3 3.3 Automatic IP Unit Discovery The IP Unit Discovery utility for Windows offers Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0 users an alternative to manually typing the 3000E IP address as described in section 3.2.1. This utility opens the browser and displays a list of all active EcoLAN 3000E units (and all 2000E units and 1000E units with 4.06 or later firmware) as shown in the following screen shot: Browser Based Management 3-4 3.3.1 Installing and Using the IP Unit Discovery Utility IP Unit Discovery is supported for Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0. The IP Unit Discovery setup program may be launched from the same Acrobat .PDF files which were used to access this manual or may be run directly from the CD ROM using the following procedure: 1. Insert the CD ROM included with the EcoLAN 3000E. 2. For Windows 95 or NT 4.0, click the Start button, select Run, and type: D:\IP-DISC\SETUP.EXE (This assumes D is the drive letter of your CD ROM. Substitute the appropriate drive letter if necessary for your system.) 3. Follow the setup program prompts. The setup program creates the EcoLAN program group and installs two icons. Click the IP Unit Discovery icon to launch the utility. The Configure IP Unit Discovery icon allows configuring the number of hops to search for network printers. A larger setting for hops searches more remote networks, which takes longer and generates more network traffic. The default setting of 2 will display all printers that can be found by going through no more than 2 routers. A setting of 0 will search only the local network segment. Note: If IP printers on a remote network segment can be pinged but are not displayed with the IP Unit Discovery and your IP Discovery setting for hops is not 0, your router may not be forwarding SNMP broadcasts.

Choose Printer Configuration from the menu and press ENTER. The Configured Printers menu appears. Since this is a new Print Server entry, all printers are labeled "Not Installed". 4. Choose the printer and press ENTER. The Printer 0 Configuration screen appears with a title of Printer 0. 5. If you choose to, change default in the Name field on this form to something that helps you identify the printer, for example, LASER_PRINTER. The print server uses this name in its message back to the users on the Notify list. Select Name, enter a name, and then press ENTER. 6. Select Type and press ENTER. A list of printer types is displayed. Choose Remote Other/Unknown and press ENTER. This creates default entries in the other fields. These defaults are usually optimal, so do not change them without specific knowledge of the effects. 7. Press the ESC key. At the prompt, choose to save your changes. 8. Press the ESC key to return to the Print Server Configuration menu. NetWare Configuration 4-4 4.1.5 Assign Print Queues to the Printer When you assign queues to the defined printer, you authorize the print server to service these queues. Note: Do not assign the same queue to two different print servers. If a queue is assigned to multiple print servers, print jobs may not go to the intended printer. 1. Choose Queues Serviced By Printer from the Print Server Configuration menu. 2. Select the printer name from the list of defined printers. 3. Press INS to display the Available Queues list for the printer. 4. Select the queue you want and then assign a priority level from 1 to 10. It is recommended that you accept the default priority level. Press ENTER. The queue appears on the list for the printer. Press the INS key again to assign additional queues. 5. When you finish assigning queues, press the ESC key and then save your changes. Continue to press the ESC key to return to the Print Server Configuration menu. If you want to set Notify options, go to Section. 4.1.6. If you are finished, continue to press the ESC key and then save your changes. NetWare Configuration 4-5 4.1.6 Set Up Notify Options for the Printer (Optional) To enable the print server to notify users or user groups if a problem occurs with the printer, set up the Notify options. The print server supports the enhanced NOTIFY options for printers, including informing users when the printer: · Is off-line, jammed, opened, or out of paper · Requires a manual paper feed or a form change · Has had an engine failure 1. Choose Notify List for Printer on the Print Server Configuration menu. 2. Select the printer from the Defined Printers list. The screen appears (which is blank for an initial installation). Press INS to view a list of Notify Candidates. 3. Select the user or group from the list. 4. Set the First and Next intervals in the Notify Intervals screen. It is recommended that you use the defaults. The First interval is the number of seconds the network waits before it notifies candidates about a print job problem. The Next interval specifies how often in seconds candidates are notified. Enter a number for each interval and press ENTER. 5. Press the ESC key and then choose Save Changes. Press the ESC key at each screen until you reach the Print Server Configuration menu. If you have finished the configuration, press the ESC key and then save the changes. NetWare Configuration 4-6 4.1.7 Installing the EcoLAN 3000E on Multiple File Servers To install the EcoLAN 3000E on more than one file server, perform the procedures described in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.6 for each file server. You must use the same name and password for the print server (or no password) on all file servers. You set the password for the EcoLAN 3000E using the MAP program (refer to 4.3 Configuring the EcoLAN 3000E in NetWare Directory Services ). If you use a password, specify it on each file server using the Change Password option on the Print Server Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility. When the EcoLAN 3000E comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to the file servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks propagation delay. For extremely large or complex networks, this allows a bounded search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to file servers beyond this range, or, if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all file servers in the four hops/eight ticks radius, the file servers with which the print server is to operate may be entered into the Print Server Configuration of a "primary" file server. The primary file server can be any file server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates the primary file server and the list of file servers to be serviced, the automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to those file servers listed (and to no others). 4.1.8 Primary File Server To use the primary file server option, use the following procedure on a file server close to the printer: 1. List the file servers to be serviced by the primary file server by selecting File Server To Be Serviced option from the Print Server Configuration Menu. 2. Press the Insert key to display the Available File Servers list. 3. Select the name if each file server to be serviced and press ENTER to add it to the File Servers To Be Serviced list. 4. When the list is complete, press the ESC key to return to the menu. 5. Install the EcoLAN 3000E on each of the primary file servers. NetWare Configuration 4-7 4.1.9 Preferred Bindery File Server The MAP or web browser utilities allow you to identify a "preferred" file server, to be identified within the EcoLAN 3000E itself. If a preferred bindery file server is listed, the EcoLAN 3000E will attach to this identified file server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred bindery file server is also a primary file server (for example, has file servers listed under file servers to be serviced), the EcoLAN 3000E will connect directly to these file servers. See Chapter 3 for information on using MAP or a web browser. Note: The Preferred Bindery File Server is only applicable to bindery-based queues. This entry should be left blank unless bindery-based queues will be serviced on the Preferred Bindery File Server. NetWare Configuration 4-8 4.2 Configuring NetWare 4.x -- Bindery Emulation Novell's NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes -- NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services, see 4.3 Configuring the EcoLAN 3000E in NetWare Directory Services . These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The EcoLAN 3000E may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3 Configuring the EcoLAN 3000E in NetWare Directory Services ). When configured under NDS, the EcoLAN 3000E will also service older file servers operating in bindery mode. Note: If the EcoLAN 3000E is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services mode is not running, the EcoLAN 3000E can not find its file servers, and the status page indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active. 4.2.1 Confirm Bindery Context Before installing the EcoLAN 3000E on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If the EcoLAN 3000E must be installed in the Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the following steps to confirm the server has Bindery Context: 1. Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install 2. 3. 4. 5. Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu. Select NCF Files Options from the menu. Select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF from the menu. Search the file to see if you have a statement similar to the following included: SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the file server context. Use your own file server context in place of =0U=ENG. 6. At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT statement that you entered in the autoexec.ncf file. The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The definition in the file takes effect when the server is shut down and then restarted. Note: NetWare Configuration 4-9 4.2.2 Configure in Bindery Mode with PCONSOLE Once you confirm the server has Bindery Context, use the following procedures to configure the EcoLAN 3000E. 1. Log into the network as ADMIN. 2. Type PCONSOLE and press ENTER. The following screen appears. Available Options Print Queues Printers Print Drivers Quick Setup Change Context 3. When the Available Options menu appears, press the F4 key (for the Bindery Mode). Note: If you receive a message asking you to login to a server with Bindery connections, the server you are attached to does not have Bindery Mode enabled. Follow the procedures in 4.2.1 Confirm Bindery Context or log onto a server with Bindery Services activated. NetWare Configuration 4-10 4. From the Available Options screen, select Quick Setup and press ENTER. Use Quick Setup to connect your EcoLAN 3000E, print queue and printer correctly. You can modify these later if you need to. 5. Select Print server and press the F3 key to modify the entry. 6. Enter the name of the print server in the Print server field and press ENTER. Note: The print server name is printed under the Novell Network Information on the Status and Configuration report. The factory default name consists KYO, an underscore, and the serial number of the unit. 7. Press the ESC key to move to the New printer field. Enter a name and press ENTER. 8. Press the ESC key to move to the New print queue field. Enter a name and press ENTER. 9. Press the ESC key to move to the Printer type field and press ENTER. From the list of printer types, select Other/Unknown and press ENTER. 10. When you are finished, press the F10 key to save the configuration. Repeat steps 5 through 10 for each file server that the printer server services. 11. To view, add, delete, or modify print servers or queues after initial setup, select either Print Queues or Print Servers on the Available Options screen. NetWare Configuration 4-11 4.3 Configuring the EcoLAN 3000E in NetWare Directory Services NetWare Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x and 5.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services named Directory objects such as printers, print servers and print queues. With the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object, which, once configured in its context (or location) on the network, eliminates the cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server. NDS provides true enterprise networking based on a shared network database rather than a individually defined physical sites. The result is greatly improved print server setup and management. The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherever it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data found in the DIB but the data is stored in the NetWare Bindery. The DIB was designed with more flexible access, more specific security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned. The Directory uses an object-oriented structure rather than the flat-file structure of the Bindery, and offers network-oriented access, rather than server-oriented access found in the Bindery. The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through Bindery emulation mode. This section describes Print Server Operation with a 4.x NetWare system in bindery emulation mode. When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed. Be aware that information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server since the Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications making Bindery requests will not know the difference. You may use NWADMIN to configure the printer in NDS. Prior to printing, NDS must be set up as follows and the EcoLAN 3000E must be set up with NDS Context and Tree. See Section 4.4. The steps below describe the use of NWADMIN configuration to create printer, print server, and print queue objects. Then, you will assign, or associate those objects with each other. If you wish to keep Bindery resources on any server, you can under NetWare 4.x if you declare a SET statement in your AUTOEXEC.NCF file. NetWare Configuration 4-12 NWAdmin Quick Setup NWAdmin offers a Print Services Quick Setup option on the Tools menu. Instructions for Quick Setup are included on the printed Quick Configuration Guide and the Quick Configuration Guide PDF file on the CD with this User's Manual. The NWAdmin procedures in this manual do not use the Quick Setup but rather create each Print Services object separately, allowing greater flexibility in configuration. 4.3.1 Create Printer Object 1. Click on the NWADMIN icon in the NetWare Tools group in Windows. The NetWare Administrator window will appear. To bring up your Directory Tree, open a Browser window by clicking on the Tools menu item and, the Browse item. 2. Highlight the Organizational Unit or Organization where you want to create the print service in the Directory Tree, select the Object item from the main menu and choose Create... Note: If you wish, you can create objects another way in NWADMIN by: selecting an Organizational Unit, clicking on the right mouse button (which produces a pop-up menu), and clicking on Create... use the left mouse button to bring up the New Object window). From this point, the procedure continues as described. NetWare Configuration 4-13 3. When the New Object window appears, scroll down the Class of New Object icon list, select the Printer icon and click on the OK button. 4. When the Create Printer window appears, type a value in the Printer Name field and click on the Create button. 4.3.2 Create Print Server Object 1. Again, highlight the Organizational Unit, select the Object item from the menu and choose Create... 2. At the New Object window, scroll down the Class of New Object icon list, select the Print Server icon, and click on the OK button. 3. At the Create Print Server window, type a value in the Print Server Name field and click on the Create button. NetWare Configuration 4-14 4.3.3 Create Print Queue Object 1. Once again, highlight the Organizational Unit, select the Object item from the menu and choose Create. 2. At the New Object window, scroll down the Class of New Object icon list, select the Print Queue icon, and click on the OK button. 3. At the Create Print Queue screen, click on the Directory Service Queue button, then type in values for Print Queue Name and Print Queue Volume and click on the Create button. If you don't know the Print Queue Volume name (the hard drive you will be accessing), click on the icon to the right of the volume field. The Select Object window will appear with the volume listed in Objects. If the volume is not listed, scroll the Directory Context items until you find the volume where you want the queue to reside. NetWare Configuration 4-15 Click on the object (hard drive) of your choice and it will appear in the Selected Object: field. Click on the OK button. The full volume will now appear in the Print Queue Volume field. Finally, click on the Create button. 4.3.4 Assign Printer Object 1. Go to the Directory Tree. Double click on the printer object just created and bring up the Printer window. See below. Find the Assignments button on the right-side of the window and click on the Add button. NetWare Configuration 4-16 2. When the Select Object window appears, find the print queue object just created among the choices listed in the Objects box and select it. Click on the OK button and the print queue just created is added to the Print Queues: box in the Printer: window. Click on the OK button again. NetWare Configuration 4-17 4.3.5 Assign Print Server Object 1. At the Directory Tree, double click on the print server object you just created and bring up the Print Server window. 2. At the Print Server: window, click on the Assignments button and Add button to bring up the Select Object window. Select the printer object just created from the Objects: box and click on the OK button. Now the printer (with its context) appears in the Printers: box of the Print Server window. Click on the OK button. NetWare Configuration 4-18 4.3.6 Check Assignments At the Directory Tree, double click on the Print Queue object you just created. At the Print Queue window, click on the Assignments button. NetWare Configuration 4-19 If you configured the print queue and printer correctly they will appear in the proper boxes on the Print Queue window. Press the Cancel button. 4.3.7 Set Up and Reset the Printer NWADMIN configuration is complete. Before you can begin printing, though, be sure to perform the EcoLAN 3000E Configuration in the following section and reset (power cycle) the printer. NetWare Configuration 4-20 4.4 EcoLAN 3000E Configuration The MAP utility or an IP web browser must be used to define the context of the 3000E. It is also used to change the Print Server name, set in a password, modify scan and frame search parameters, and set in bindery-mode specific values. Use the MAP utility or IP Web Browser (refer to Chapter 3) to access the Setup pages of the EcoLAN 3000E. Once you have accessed the Network Administration pages or the Main Menu, do the following: 1. Select Setup NetWare under Protocols. 2. Click on Enable NetWare. If it is not selected, the NetWare protocols will not come up, the EcoLAN 3000E will not appear as an advertised device, and the NIC will not be accessible using IPX SNMP. 3. The default name for the NetWare Print Server is KYO_123456, where 123456 is the serial number of the EcoLAN 3000E. This is also the name of the printer in peer-to-peer mode. If you want to change the default Print Server name, type this name in the Print Server Name space. This name must match the Print Server name previously defined in the PCONSOLE or NWADMIN setup. 4. If you want the EcoLAN 3000E to login with a password, this password may be entered in the Print Server Password field, and again in the Password Retype field. If a password is used, this password must be the same password for all bindery-based and NDS-based Print Server entries. 5. Enter the name of a preferred bindery-based file server in the Preferred Bindery File Server field. The Preferred Bindery File Server entry is significant only for bindery or bindery emulation based operations. Refer to 4.1.9 Preferred File Servers for the significance of a Preferred File Server. The Print Server must be configured on the preferred file server. Incorrect setup of a Preferred File Server can interfere with NetWare printing. For NDS printing leave Preferred Bindery File Server blank. 6. If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Services, type in a Preferred NDS Context entry. Be sure to give the whole context, whether typeful or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a leading period (.). A typeful context name example is: ou=sales.o=acme A typeless context name example is: sales.acme NetWare Configuration 4-21 7. If there are multiple NDS trees on the network, then enter the name of the Preferred NDS Tree where the 3000E print objects are defined. 8. In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is to service once per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you may enter the time between scans in seconds in the Print Queue Scan Rate field. 9. The EcoLAN 3000E will normally monitor the network to determine which frame type is being used for Novell. When it recognizes a type, it will assume the same frame type. Once it selects a frame type, the EcoLAN 3000E will only operate over that Novell frame type. Monitoring normally starts looking for IEEE 802.3, then IEEE 802.2, then Ethernet II, then 802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple frame types for Novell, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by setting the button next to the designation under Ethernet Frame Type. 10. You can Disable Bindery mode on the Print Server if are operating in NDS mode only. To do so, click on that box. If you disable Bindery, the EcoLAN 3000E will not support Print Servers on a Bindery file server. 11. Once you have selected all desired settings and entered the desired NetWare information, you may cause this information to be entered in the EcoLAN 3000E NV RAM by clicking on Accept Settings. As with all value changes, if you have not entered the EcoLAN 3000E Management Password before, you must enter it in the appropriate space before clicking on Accept Settings. The factory default password is "sysadm". This password is case sensitive. 12. Entered values do not take effect until the EcoLAN 3000E is reset or power cycled. You may reset from MAP or the Web Browser by returning to the Home or Network Administration page, and click on Reset under System. Now click on Reset Unit. Alternatively, you may power cycle the printer. The new NetWare values should now be in effect. 4.5 Using the Novell PCONSOLE Utility This section explains how to use the PCONSOLE utility to perform the following tasks: · Attach and select a file server · Select or delete queues for the print server · Set-up the Notify function See the NetWare Print Server Manual for detailed information on this utility. Note: You must have Supervisor privileges to perform many PCONSOLE operations. NetWare Configuration 4-22 4.5.1 Changing the File Server You can specify a file server as the current one. To change the file server, use the following procedures: 1. Log into the current file server and start the PCONSOLE utility. 2. 3. 4. 5. Select Change Current File Server from the Available Options menu. Press the Insert key to display the available file servers. Select the file server you want as the current one and press ENTER. Enter your username and press ENTER. If the username requires a password, the Password screen is displayed. Enter the password and press ENTER. 6. Select Change Current File Server from the Available Options menu. A list of the attached file servers is displayed. 7. Select the current file server from the File Server/Username screen. 4.5.2 Changing Print Queues When you print a file, your system sends the file to a print queue. The print server assigned to that queue extracts the print job and sends it to the assigned printer. If a print server is servicing queues on multiple file servers, you must assign queues to the printer on each file server. To change the print queues, use the following procedures: 1. Start the PCONSOLE utility. Select Print Server Information from the Available Options menu. Select the print server from the list. Select Print Server Configuration from the menu. Select Queues Serviced by Printer from the menu. Select a printer from the Defined Printers list. Press INS at the File Server/Queue/Priority screen. The Available Queues list appears. 8. Select a queue from the list. 9. Press ENTER at the Priority screen to leave the priority setting at 1. The highest priority queue is 1; 10 is the last. To change the priority of a queue, press ENTER at the File Server/Queue/Priority screen to display the Priority setting screen. Press the back-arrow key to delete the current setting. Type a new number from 1 to 10 and press ENTER. Repeat steps 7, 8, and 9 to assign additional queues to the printer. 10. Press the ESC key and save all changes. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. NetWare Configuration 4-23 4.5.3 How to Set Up Notify You can specify users or groups of users that are notified if a problem occurs when a print job is sent to the printer. If the print server is servicing queues on multiple file servers, you must set up a NOTIFY list for each file server. To set up NOTIFY, use the following procedures: 1. Start the PCONSOLE utility. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Select Print Server Information from the Available Options menu. Select the print server from the menu. Select Print Server Configuration from the menu. Select Notify List for Printer from the menu. Select the printer from the Defined Printers menu. Press the ESC key at the File Server/Notify Name/Notify Type/First/Next screen. The Notify Candidates screen appears. Select the user or user group from the Notify Candidates screen. The Notify Intervals screen displays. Set the First and Next intervals for notifying users about printer problems. The First interval is the number of seconds the network waits before it notifies users about a print job problem. The Next interval specifies how often in seconds users are notified. Enter a number for each interval and press ENTER. Press the ESC key and save all changes. Press the ESC key until you see the prompt to exit PCONSOLE. Select Yes and then press ENTER. 10. 11. NetWare Configuration 4-24 5 Windows Configuration Windows encompasses a wide range of client versions; from Windows 3.1 to Windows NT 4.0, and thus a wide range of printing capabilities. This chapter is divided into sections for each version of Windows. Please refer to the appropriate section for the Windows clients that will be configured for printing to the EcoLAN 3000E. 5.1 Windows Network Printing Capabilities Overview The various versions of Windows in combination with the EcoLAN 3000E offer the network printing capabilities described below. The Windows Network Printing Capabilities Table shows which capabilities are supported by each version of Windows. · Novell NetWare Printing: access to NetWare print queues when a NetWare server is present. · Peer to Peer Printing: direct access to the 3000E over either IPX or TCP/IP without requiring a server. · LPR Printing: access to a Windows LPR spooler over TCP/IP. · Windows Shared Access Printing: access to a shared network printer configured on another Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT machine. Windows Configuration 5-1 Table 1: Windows Network Printing Capabilities Windows 3.1 NetWare Printing Peer to Peer Printing LPR Printing Shared Access Printing Windows 3.11 Windows 95 or 98 Windows NT 3.51 Windows NT 4.0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The optimum Windows printing configuration for you depends upon your particular environment including user and administrator experience and preferences. Generally, NetWare Print Services will be utilized when a NetWare server is present. In the absence of a NetWare server, LPR printing in combination with Shared Access printing is often used in environments where TCP/IP is already in use. Peer to Peer printing is most often used when a NetWare server is not available and when TCP/IP is not in use. 5.3 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 5.4 Windows 95 and Windows 98 5.5 Windows NT 3.51 5.6 Windows NT 4.0 5.1.1 Windows Shared Access Printing Overview For clarity in describing the process of printer sharing, the term "host" is used to refer to a Windows machine that has defined a network printer and enabled sharing of that printer. The term "client" is used to refer to a Windows machine which accesses a printer shared by a Windows "host". Any Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 machine may function as either a client or a host (or both). Windows Configuration 5-2 The Windows clients accessing a printer do not necessarily need to use the same protocol that the Windows host uses to communicate with the printer. For example, a printer connected to an LPR spooler via TCP/IP on a Windows 95 host, could be accessed by a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client using the standard Windows Netbeui protocol; even when TCP/IP is not installed on the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client. This capability to host a shared printer over a different protocol than that used by the clients provides tremendous flexibility in Windows network printing architecture. 5.3.3 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Shared Access Printing 5.4.4 Windows 95/98 Shared Access Printing 5.5.3 Windows NT 3.51 Shared Access Printing 5.6.4 Windows NT 4.0 Shared Access Printing 5.2 Windows 3.1 Windows 3.1 is the oldest and least flexible of the Windows versions covered in this manual. Windows 3.1 network printing capability is limited to Novell NetWare printing. Prior to printing from the Windows clients via NetWare, the 3000E must be configured for NetWare printing. Please refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on NetWare printing configuration of the 3000E. Once NetWare printing is configured, Windows 3.1 clients access the 3000E NetWare print queue by issuing a CAPTURE command (often in the user login script) or through Control Panel, Printers, Connect, Network. See your NetWare documentation for additional information. 5.3 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 5.1 Windows Network Printing Capabilities 5.3.1 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 NetWare Printing Prior to printing from the Windows clients via NetWare, the 3000E must be configured for NetWare printing. Please refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on NetWare printing configuration of the 3000E. Windows Configuration 5-3 Once NetWare printing is configured, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 clients access the 3000E NetWare print queue by issuing a CAPTURE command (often in the NetWare user login script) or through Control Panel, Printers, Connect, Network. See your NetWare documentation for additional information. 5.3.2 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 LPR Printing LPR printing requires that the workstation have TCP/IP capability and the corresponding LPR spooler. If the printer is not shared, then an LPR queue must be created on each workstation from which printing is initiated. Windows for Workgroups does not include TCP/IP, however, various TCP/IP facilities are available for Windows for Workgroups workstations, including a free TCP/ IP provided by Microsoft. Third party LPR spoolers are also available. The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP and a shareware LPR application that is available from various sources, including Kyocera (www.kyocera.com/printers/ techsupp.html). You will need the files WFWTCP32.zip and WFWTCP32.txt for TCP/IP, and wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the LPR spooler. Installing Windows for Workgroups 3.11 TCP/IP Follow the instructions in the text file for the TCP/IP stack to set up TCP/IP on the workstations. Assigning the EcoLAN 3000E IP Address The 3000E must be configured for TCP/IP communication. Please refer to section 5.7 for instructions. 5.7 EcoLAN 3000E TCP/IP Configuration from Windows. Loading the LPR Spooler The Windows LPR Spooler Version 4.1 - User's Guide (wlprspl.txt), provides detailed instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware LPR spooler. Creating an LPR Queue on the Workstation 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, and define a new queue. 3. At the Remote Host Name prompt enter the EcoLAN 3000E IP Address. Enter PORT1 for the Remote Printer Name 4. Go to Control Panel, Printers, and choose Connect. Windows Configuration 5-4 5. Select your driver and click on Next. An entry for your Windows LPR Spooler's printer should now be displayed in the "Available ports" listing. For example, C:\SPOOL\PRINTER_NAME. To set this printer as shared so that it may be accessed by other Windows clients, see the following section. 5.3.3 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Shared Access Printing For clarity in describing the process of printer sharing, the term "host" is used to refer to a Windows machine that has defined a network printer and enabled sharing of that printer. The term "client" is used to refer to a Windows machine which accesses a printer shared by a Windows "host". Any Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 machine may function as either a client or a host (or both). The Windows clients accessing a printer do not necessarily need to use the same protocol that the Windows host uses to communicate with the printer. For example, a printer connected to an LPR spooler via TCP/IP on a Windows 95 host, could be accessed by a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client using the standard Windows Netbeui protocol; even when TCP/IP is not installed on the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client. This capability to host a shared printer over a different protocol than that used by the clients provides tremendous flexibility in Windows network printing architecture. 5.4 Windows 95 and Windows 98 5.1 Windows Network Printing Capabilities Overview 5.4.1 Windows 95/98 NetWare Printing Prior to printing from the Windows clients via NetWare, the 3000E must be configured for NetWare printing. Please refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on NetWare printing configuration of the 3000E. Once NetWare printing is configured, Windows 95 clients can access the 3000E NetWare print queue in a number of ways, such as by issuing a CAPTURE command (often in the NetWare user login script) or through the Windows Explorer by right clicking on the Printers folder and selecting Capture Printer Port, or through Start, Settings, Printers, right clicking on the desired printer and selecting Properties, and selecting Add Port on the Details tab. Windows Configuration 5-5 5.4.2 Windows 95/98 (and NT 4.0) Peer to Peer Printing The peer to peer printing software which is included with the EcoLAN 3000E allows Windows 95/98 PCs and Windows NT 4.0 workstations to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer to peer printing. The peer to peer printing software must be installed on each PC or workstation that will use peer to peer printing. Once the peer to peer printing software is installed, all EcoLAN 3000E boards on the network automatically appear in the list of available printer ports. The peer to peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers are present, however, often the server print services are utilized instead. Server-based print services offer centralized printing management and spooling and do not require software (other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC. 5.4.2.1 Peer to Peer Printing over IP or IPX Peer to peer printing is available over both the IP and the IPX protocols. At least one of these protocols must be installed before peer to peer printing may be used. It is assumed that the IP protocol will be used for peer to peer printing only if the Windows PCs are already configured with IP addresses; otherwise, the simpler to configure IPX protocol would most likely be used. 5.4.2.2 Configuration of Peer to Peer Printing over IPX Windows 95/98 IPX Protocol Installation The IPX protocol must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing over IPX. The following instructions describe installation of the IPX protocol. 1. Click on the Windows 95/98 Start button and select Settings, Control Panel, Network. 2. Check to see if IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol is displayed on the list of network components. If it is on the list, IPX is already installed. Please continue with the next section. If it is NOT on the list, click on Add. 3. Double click on Protocol, click on Microsoft, and double click on IPX/SPXcompatible Protocol. Windows will prompt for the required Windows disks to install the IPX protocol. 4. Once the files are copied, click on OK to close the network control panel. Windows will prompt to restart the system. The IPX protocol will not be active until the system is restarted. Windows Configuration 5-6
