    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.
