iPrint/NDPS

Installing Printers on Windows NT/2000

To install a printer on Windows NT/2000, you must have Administrator rights or be a Power User.

IP Address Limitation

NOTE: This issue is resolved in NetWare^® 6 Support Pack 1.

When using iPrint, IP addresses must be between 1 and 255 for the Network ID and Host ID. Addresses that have a 0 (zero) in any of the four octets are not currently supported. For example, 1.0.0.9 is not supported.

Using NDPS Gateways

When you use Novell^® iManager to create an NDPS^® Printer object and select the Novell Gateway, the Novell Gateway (NDPSGW.NLM) is used.

When you use NetWare Administrator to create a Printer object and select the Novell Gateway, the gateway comprised of PH.NLM and NDPDS.NLM is used. This is the only version of the gateway that supports RP protocol and local ports.

To use a third-party print vendor's gateway, you must use NetWare Administrator to create the NDPS Printer object.

Running iPrint Map Designer

To have full functionality of the iPrint Map Designer, IPPSRVR.NLM must be loaded before starting iPrint Map Designer.

Invalid IP Address When Loading the NDPS Manager

When you load the NDPS Manager, you can specify an IP address or DNS name. If you do not specify one, the NDPS Manager uses the address stored in SYS:\ETC\HOSTNAME. If either the IP address or DNS name specified on the command line or in the HOSTNAME file is invalid, you will receive the following error:

IP Address xxx.xxx.xx.xxx, specified at load time, is not bound. Program execution cannot continue normally. Press Escape to continue.

To resolve the error, use a valid DNS Name or IP Address on the command line, or edit the SYS:\ETC\HOSTNAME file to contain a valid address.

Using TTS on NSS Volumes

NOTE: This issue is resolved in NetWare 6 Support Pack 1.

By default the Transaction Tracking System^TM (TTS^TM) is not enabled on NSS volumes for NetWare 6 servers. To protect database integrity, NDPS requires that TTS be enabled on the NDPS Manager's host volume before NDPSM.NLM is loaded. If the NDPS Manager's host volume is an NSS volume, you should enable TTS by completing the following:

Enter

NSS /transaction=NDPS_Manager_host_volume_name

If you want to list the NSS volumes on a server, enter NSS volumes.

Dismount the NSS volume by entering

NSS /Deactivate=NDPS_Manager_host_volume_name

Remount the volume with TTS enabled by entering

mount NDPS_Manager_host_volume_name

iPrint Client Install Page Has No Link

NOTE: This issue is resolved in NetWare 6 Support Pack 1.

When using a map generated by the iPrint Map Designer, if users click on a printer from a workstation that does not have the iPrint client installed, they might be redirected to an iPrint client install page that does not have the client install link.

To resolve this, use a text editor to edit LOGIN\IPPDOCS\TOOLS.JS and make the following changes to the Function: ProductNotInstalled section.

Replace the

" document.writeln(\"" + parent.iprintclientinstallString + "<BR><BR>\");\n" +

line of code with these lines:

" document.writeln(\"" + parent.iprintclientinstallString + "\");\n" +

" document.writeln(\"<BR>\");\n" +
