4.1

System Architecture

In Windows network environment, other than the Peerto-Peer network printing architecture described in the
previous chapter, we also offer the Server-Based Printing
architecture for Windows NT/2000/2003 server. Only one
Windows NT/2000/2003 is required to have Windows PTPP
(Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver installed and share the
printing service on the network. Other network users can
simply connect to the server and access the shared printer
(see below).

4.2

Windows NT/2000/2003 Server
Installation and Setup

Please follow the procedures described below for
installation and construct a peer-to-peer connection (PTPP)
between Windows NT/2000/2003 Server and Print Server.

Step1.
If this is your first time installing print server, please
install
the
administrator
software
on
Windows
NT/2000/2003 server first. Refer to section 3.2 for
installation instructions.
If your network has already installed a working print
server and your Windows NT/2000/2003 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 the Peer-to-Peer Printing of the
Windows NT/2000/2003 network printer and verify that you
can print from Windows NT/2000/2003 to the print server
by the installed PTPP driver.
43

Step3.
Share the above server’s printer to the network by
performing the standard Windows printer sharing process.

4.3

User Installation and Setup

After server side’s installation is completed, client side
will be able to find the server’s shared printer in Network
Neighborhood. You only need to perform Window’s
standard Add New Printer procedure, select “Network
Printer” shown in the screen below, and complete the
configurations afterwards to access the shared printer.

NetWare Network

5.1

System Architecture

We implemented NetWare printer sharing functionality
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 print server to support
NetWare print server.
Embedded print server, which emulates the “queue
management functionality” of NetWare print server,
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 stores the job in a
print queue and then the print server gets the print job from
the queue to printers.

Print Queue

Windows 98

Netware Server

Print Server

Windows 2000

Compare with NetWare printing functionality, the
advantages of embedding the NetWare network printing
functionality in the print server include:
Installation is easier and quicker.
Network management is easier.

Printing performance is enhanced.
Relieve NetWare file server’s burden.
Relieve the need of a workstation running the
remote printer utility.
Improve productivity by locating the printer near
the workgroup.
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.

UNIX System Network

6.1

Introduction

The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by
Unix LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD
protocol originated with Unix release is based on the BSD
version of Unix and 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
systems.
To configure the print server for LPD printing, perform
the procedures below:
1. Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up Print Server’s IP address.
3. Verify Print Server’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five
procedures step by step.

6.2

Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support

The default configuration of the print server is with
TCP/IP support enabled. Anyway, you can configure the
print server to enable TCP/IP support using the
configuration program.

6.3

Setup Print Server’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 the 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 DHCP
protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server
database are different. This manual does not describe the
DHCP server configuration on the Unix systems. It is
highly recommended that the DHCP server should be
located on the same network as the print server.
6.3.2

BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on
your UNIX system that is accessible by 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 the host of BOOTP server as the
superuser (root). 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 a line such as:
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 a print server,
the ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the
ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a print server,
which 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,
configuration:

server

with

the

following

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 Print Server’s IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the
newly assigned IP address using a PING command:
ping ip-address

6.5

Configure Remote LPD Printing on the
Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s)
to allow printing to your network remote print server varies
between different varieties of Unix. The procedure below
can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD Unix,
such as 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 printer
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 a line such as:
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 assigned one 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 one of lpt1, lpt2 or
lpt3 depends on the printer port.

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

Modify Setting Values – “set” Command

“set” command is used to modify the setting values of
this print server. The format of “set” command is as
following:
set argument_name value
Then the value will be written into the system
configuration. For example, if you want to set IP address of
the print server to 192.168.2.2, type “set ip ‘192.168.2.2’”
command and the IP of the print server will be changed:
admin# set ip 192.168.2.2
If you enter only “set”, the system will list all
arguments of “set” command and the command format.
The following table lists all the arguments whose value
can be modified by “set” command:

IPP Printing

125

10.1

Introduction

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Printing provides a
convenient way of remote printing service by TCP/IP. The
print server can support IPP printing by default. It is
needless to do any setting. Any PC that can support IPP
printing, for example Windows 2000/XP, can directly uses
the print server by IP. By using the IPP printing, you can
share the printer to all the PC’s that can access the print
server by IP. You can even share your printer to Internet
users.

10.2.1

System Setup
Print Server Side

It is needless to do any setting on the print server side.
Make sure the print server has correct IP settings. If you
want to share the printers to Internet users, you have to set
a real IP to the print server. You also have to make sure
that any gateway; router or firewall does not block IPP
protocol if you have these gateway devices installed in your
network.

server. The URL format is “http://IP:631/Port Name”. The
IP should be the print server’s IP. The number 631 is IPP
standard port number. Port Name is the port name of print
server that your printer is connected to. The default port
name is “lpt1”. One example of the URL is
http://192.168.3.66:631/lpt1. After entering the URL of
print server, click “Next”.
