nprinter, stopnp -- control polling of configuration files for NetWare print queue requests

Synopsis

nprinter [-v]

stopnp

Description

nprinter starts polling of the /etc/netware/nprinter/PRTConfig and /etc/netware/nprinter/RPControl files. stopnp stops the nprinter daemon.

When used with the -v option, nprinter provides detailed information on the system console. Without the option, it only displays the nprinter starting and nprinter going down messages.

By manipulating the PRTConfig and RPControl files, you can allow a UnixWare printer to service a NetWare® print queue.

The maximum number of printers that nprinter can service is 50.

If you need to make changes to the configuration files while nprinter is running, do so in the proper order: change the PRTConfig file first, then the RPControl file.

This feature can also be enabled using Printer_Setup on the graphical user interface.
