NWIPPAPR.PS is a Novell White Paper on NetWare/IP in PostScript
format. You can print this on any printer which supports
PostScript.
1. Printing a PostScript file from DOS using NetWare to an HP LaserJet
IIISi with the PostScript Option installed:
After reading the "Network Notes for the HP LaserJet IIISi Printer"
manual provided with the HP LaserJet IIISi documentation set, I have
learned that it is necessary to specify "/nobanner" when spooling a
PostScript file to the printer through a NetWare print queue. In fact,
HP recommends that the following options be set:
Option Value
------ -----
File contents Byte stream
Print Banner No
Suppress form feed Yes
However, after some experimentation I have concluded that the most
important option is the "Print Banner" option. If "Print Banner"
is set to "Yes" (which is the default for "nprint" and "capture"),
the postscript file will be spooled to the printer but it will NOT
be printed. The "Ready" light will blink on the printer indicating
that it is receiving data, but the file will never be printed.
Therefore, I recommend printing the file by using the following
command:
nprint nwippapr.ps /s=server_name /q=q_name /nobanner
This command spools "nwippapr.ps" to the printer with "File
Contents" set to "Text," "Print Banner" set to "No," and "Suppress
form feed" set to "No." Although "File Contents" and "Suppress
form feed" are not set to the HP recommended values, it still
seems to work this way. If it doesn't work for you, then
try printing to the printer by directly inserting it in the queue
using PCONSOLE and setting ALL of the options (File Contents, Print
Banner, and Suppress form feed) to the HP recommended values listed
in the table above.
2. Printing a PostScript file using "lpr" from a SPARCstation running
SunOS 4.1.2 to an HP LaserJet IIISi with the PostScript Option
installed:
lpr -Pprinter_name -s nwippapr.ps
*Note: This has been tested and works using
SunOS 4.1.2. The "-s" option is used
to get around a file size limit which
may be imposed on the print queue.
