Edit NDPS printer IP address

[rjmccorkle]

Is it possible to view and/or edit the IP address assigned to a controlled access NDPS printer in NWADMN in Netware 5.1?
Thanks,
Bob

You can view it in NWADMIN but you can't edit it there. It's hidden on one of the Status pages. It's a little confusing but you can actually change the IP address from the NDPS manager on the server console. Select the printer on the manager, then you'll see an option for Printer Control. You can step through it there. just pick the Novell gateway etc.

Then all you have to do to get the NDPS Printer working again once you have changed the IP Address on the object is to stop and restart the printer (not the NDPS Manager) and it should be ok.

That process is how I have been doing it. When I use the configuration utility in the NDPS manager at the server console, it doesn't show the current settings, it displays the defaults, just like when adding a new printer agent, and all of the info has to be re-entered. It doesn't happen very often; I was hoping for a more "elegant" method and a way to verify the IP address and name (I forget what "name";the default is PASSTHROUGH; it is the one on the same setup window as the IP address; some of our multi-port Hawking print servers require "lp1", "lp2" or "lp3"). We checked out the printer agent, Details screens and didn't spot the IP or the name.
