LANDesk(R) Manager 1.51: Printer Management, Virus Protection Usage Tips
Contents:
NETWORK PRINTER MANAGER
Do not load IPXODI.COM with the /a option; this option eliminates the
Diagnostic Responder and reduces IPXODI.COM's memory consumption by 9KB,
but Network Printer Manager cannot talk to a print server. The other
switches for the IPXODI.COM were tested and do not cause a problem.
To better support large networks with many printers, LANDesk(R) Manager
v1.51 can exclude any or all of the 7 printer types we service. To
exclude certain printer types during discovery mode, add the following
section to the IPRTMGTG.INI global INI file found in the public
directory by default.
[Exclude]
exclude=PServer,JetDirect,LSX,NPXL,Netport,LANSpool,LexMark
The exclude list is not case-sensitive, and order is not important.
Printer types in the exclude list will be "skipped" while looking for
new printers.
There are some HP direct cards that are not compatible with the
reporting features of LDM Printer Manager. The older JetDirect cards
with no model numbers on the card will not work with Printer Manager.
The IIISI card with both the AUI and the BNC port is also not
supported.
To determine if Network Printer Manager can see the HP JetDirect Card,
find the firmware revision number or series number. We work with J
series (i.e. J2371A) cards or cards with vA.02.00 or higher. Some
versions of A.01.00 will work. The guaranteed way to check is by
looking in BindView under View Objects by Object type, Novell Unknown.
Example:
Bindery Object Name Object Type
0800094644910381LAZER_JET_III [Type 0x278]
Bindery Object Name Description:
Description
These bytes show the node address [080009464491]
If the byte equals 8, the JetDirect is not configured [0]
This byte shows the frame type [3]
For Ethernet
0 = 802.2
1 = Snap
2 = Ethernet 2
3 = 802.3
For Token Ring
0 = Token
1 = Token Snap
2 = Token Source Routing
3 = Token Snap Source Routing
14 If this byte equals 8, the SNMP interface is available and
Network Printer Manager can talk directly to the card [8]. If
the byte equals C, contact Intel Technical Support at (503)
629-7000 to get a new release of NetWork Printer Manager that
recognizes this new value.
15 Unknown [1]
16-47 These bytes show the printer name [LAZER_JET_III]
LANDESK(R) MANAGER VIRUS SCAN
LANDesk(R) Manager includes some on-demand virus protection features
from LANDesk Virus Protect. Download document 5528 for detailed
information on VSCAN.EXE and VSCAND.EXE beyond the common issues here
which is available through Intel's online services.
If VSCAND.EXE gives the message ERROR READING PATTERN FILE, the
workstation may have insufficient memory. VSCAND.EXE requires about 300
KB of memory. If executing from the login script, an additional 100 KB
or so is required. To be safe, the workstation should have a largest
executable program size of at least 400KB.
Verify that the virus pattern, LPT$VPN.XXX is in the directory from
which you ran the scan. Generally, this will be either the shared or
administrator's LANDESK directory on the network. If the problem
persists, map a search drive to the appropriate LANDESK directory.
If VSCAND.EXE gives the message "Warning: Cannot access master log
file," ignore it. This is a cosmetic mistake that appears when the
LANDesk Virus Protect package isn't installed with its full 24-hour NLM
protection.
Update the virus pattern on a monthly basis. This will help make sure
you have the best virus protection. To update your virus pattern,
download the self-extracting zip file UPDATEXX.EXE where XX is the
number of the pattern file (for example, UPDATE60.EXE) from the LANDesk
Virus Protect Current area on the Intel's online services. See the
READ.ME file for installation instructions.
