ndps setup

[ekke85]

Hi
I am trying to setup ndps printing on a netware 5.1 server. I have a hp3820 deskjet printer on a win 2000 workstation and want to set it up as a remote printer for everyone to use. Please help.

You can't do that with NDPS. You need to spend some money on printers with NIC's in them so that you don't have to hang them off of workstations.

Alternatively, HP do a JetDirect External box which comes in USB or Parallel format. This box allows you to connect your USB or Parallel printer to it and you have a network connection out. It can be configured just like any normal JetDirect card.

Hi! I am relatively to Novell Administration
I am trying to migrate to NDPS printing
I already have the Manager and broker installed on the server but when I try to add a printer on the container using nwadmin32, it does not allow me to add NDPS printers (only non-NDPS printers)
Any tips about going around the problems.

Thanks

is ndps installed on the server ?

 

[perezm1]

Yes, it is
The manager and the broker are running as well
The previous admin had two agents installed (I can see them on the agent list) but I just cannot add the NDPS printer object in the container becuase it only gives non-NDPS printers at nwadmin32

Thanks

I don't think this fix was for NDPS but give it a try. Add the option on the command line you use to start up nwadmin. nwadmn32.exe /disabletlsmgr

The /disabletlsmgr is to fix a problem adding a driver to the broker.

If you can't see NDPS objects in NWADMIN, it means your snapins for NDPS are not installed.

I can see object classes when I am trying to add ( AFP server, Non-NDPS printer, and so forth) but I just do not have have an object called NDPS printer. That is the only object I do not have.
Anything I can do about that?

Thanks for your responses

 

[marvhuffaker]

When you can't see the NDPS objects, it means the version of NWADMIIN you are running is not loading the NDPS snapins. When you install NDPS on the server, it should put the snapins in the correct place.

Are you running NWADMN32 from the PUBLIC\WIN32 directory?

Yes, I am runnnig nwadmin form that specific direcotry

Assuming your server has NDPS installed, if you install the latest service pack you should get the correct snapins installed. Does NDPS show up in the list of installed products? What OS and SPack are you on?

Netware 5.00.09
NDPS is installed in the server?
How can I get the correct snap-ins?

Thanks for all the help

 

[perezm1]

Netware 5 SP6
Sorry about that

Firstly, you should create NDPS printer object in the tree even assigning any printer driver to the object. Then using nwadmin utillity add correct driver by NDPS Broker.
Connect your printer to workstation LPT port, log on to the NW server. Go to SYSUBLIC\WIN95 and lounch the nwprint.exe utillity. Chose BINDERY, select your print object from the list, OK. Now your printer become available for network user hwo has rights to printer object.
