42 4. Windows NT/2000/2003 Network 4.1 System Architecture In Windows network environmen t, other than the Peer-to- Peer network printing arch itecture descr ibed in the previous chapter, we also of fer the Server-Based Printing architecture f or Windows NT /2000/2003 server.
43 4.2 Windows NT/2000/2003 Server Installation and Setup Please follow the procedur es described below for installation and construct a peer-to-peer connection (PTPP) between Windows NT /2 000/2003 Server and Print Server.
44 Step2. Please add/configure the Pee r-to-Peer Printing of the Windows NT/2000/2003 network printer and ver ify that you can print from Wind ows NT/2000/2003 to the print server by the inst alled PTPP driv er. Step3. Share the above server’s prin ter to the network by performing the standard Windo ws printer sharing process.
45 4.3 User Installation and Setup After server side’s installation is co mpleted, clie nt side will be able to f ind the server’s shared p rinter in Netw ork Neighborhood.
46 5. NetW are Network 5.1 System Architecture We implement NetWare printe r sharing func tionality into the print server itself, thus allowing one or more printers attached by a print server to be connected to the network. We have developed the pri nt server to support N etWare print server.
47 Compare wi th NetWare prin ti ng functionality, the advantages of embedding th e NetWare network printing functionality in the pr int server include: 1. Installation i s easier and quicker. 2. Network manage ment is easier. 3. Printing performance is enhanced.
48 5.2 NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x Installation & Setup Once your print server i s connected to yo ur Ethernet network, you can set it up fo r use with your networking software. 5.2.1 Installati on Using PCONSOLE 5.2.1.1 Configuring as Print Server Mode 1.
49 6. You have now successf ully created th e print queue that your print server will serve. Press the Escape key until the Available Options ma in menu is displayed. 7. Select Print Server Information. 8. Press the In sert key to add a new NetWare pri nt server object.
50 12. Select Printer 0 (or Pr inter 1, Printer 2), and press Enter, then select LPT1 (o r LPT2, LP T3) in the Type field. If your print server is with only one port, you do not need to configur e this Type field. 13. Press Escape, and answ er Yes to the Save Changes question.
51 15. Press Insert and add your newly cr eated print queue to the list of queues servic ed by the printe r. Ente r a priority number for the queu e service, or press Enter to accept the default. 16. Repeatedly p ress Esca pe to exit the PCONSOLE program.
52 6. UNIX System Network 6.1 Introduction The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line Printer Daemon) pr otocol . The LPD protocol originated with Unix rel ease is based on the BSD v ersion of Unix and supported unde r mos t versions of Unix.
53 6.2 Enable Print Server’s TCP /IP Support The default configuration of the print server i s with TCP/IP support enabled. Anyway, yo u can configur e the pr int server to enable TCP/IP supp ort using the confi guration program.
54 6.3.2 BOOTP If you have the B OOTP da emon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that is ac cessible b y t he print server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the print serv er. We recomme nd that the BOOTP server should be located on the s ame subnet as the print server.
55 Lines should be indent ed with tabs. Where hostname is the device name of a pr int server, the ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet addr ess of a print server, which is the Node ID lo cated on the pr int server.
56 6.4 Verify Print Server’s IP Address To verify that your print serv er is responding to the newly assigned IP address us ing a PING command: ping ip-address 6.
57 1. Optionally, assign a nam e corresponding t o the print server ’ s IP address. Y ou can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a li ne such as: 203.
58 Lines should be i ndented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with varian ts separated by vertical bars (name1|name2). The rm= entry should corresp ond to the IP address you have assigned to the print serv er. You can also use a host name if you have assigned on e in the /etc/hosts file.
