With the UNIX host to which a network printer is attached, and the NetWare/IP server that is to function as an lpr gateway properly configured, and the necessary Directory objects created, you are ready to initialize the lpr gateway software. To start the lpr gateway and enable NetWare-to-UNIX printing, you need to

• Load the NetWare print server software (PSERVER.NLM) on the NetWare/IP server that is to function as an lpr gateway
• Load the LPR_GWY NLM on the NetWare/IP server that is to function as an lpr gateway.

Loading the Print Server

Use the following procedure to load the NetWare print server software on the NetWare/IP server that is to function as an lpr gateway:

1. At the server console prompt, load the print server software by typing the following command:

   load pserver

2. When prompted, enter the complete name of the Print Server object you created using Creating a Print Server Object

3. Press <Alt-Esc> as needed to return to the server's system console prompt.

Loading the lpr Gateway Software

Use the following procedure to load the lpr gateway software on the NetWare/IP server that is to function as an lpr gateway:

1. At the server console prompt, load the lpr gateway software by typing the following command:

   load lpr_gwy

With the print server and lpr gateway software loaded, you are ready to print from a NetWare/IP client to a network printer attached to a UNIX host.

To test the NetWare-to-UNIX printing configuration:

1. At a NetWare client, capture the print queue assigned to the network printer attached to the UNIX host.
2. Send a print job.

Use the Job List page of the Print Queue object dialog in NetWare Administrator and the Printer Status screen in PSERVER to check the status of the print job.
