SOLUTION Apply HPT009.

(If it is on a 4.0x or 3.1x server, download HPT006.EXE instead.) - NetWare for SAA 1.3.42. ---- *IF* your NetWare for SAA is not, at least, V1.3.0, you must purchase an upgrade. ---- *IF* you have a version of NetWare 1.3 below v1.3.42 (1.3B), you must upgrade (see PTF410.EXE). - HostPrint 1.1 NOTE: It is vital that you read all 16 steps below! I. Create a directory on the NetWare 4 server called PATCH. II. Create 1 subdirectory under it: - DISK1 III. Put HPT009.EXE into the DISK1 subdirectory. IV. Type HPT009 to unzip HPT009.EXE. V. *IF* you will be managing HostPrint with NetWare for SAA Services Manager (SSM): - Create a DISK2 subdirectory. - Put HPT004.EXE into it. - Unzip HPT004 HPT004 - Install HPT004.EXE on the workstation as follows: --- A. Start Windows WIN --- B. Select FILE/RUN under Program Manager. --- C. RUN PATCH\DISK2\SETUP.EXE --- D. From "NetWare for SAA Service Manager Setup", select the "Add Services" option. --- E. You will be notified when installation is complete. VI. The server must be active but COMMEXEC.NLM must not be running. -- A. UNLOAD HOSTPRT (If already loaded). -- B. CSDOWN. ---C. UNLOAD COMMEXEC (to make sure it is unloaded). -- C. LOAD INSTALL. -- D. Select "Install a product not listed". -- E. Press to specify a different path -- F. Enter the correct path to the DISK1 directory, the install program will install the appropriate files from the DISK1 directory as applicable. For example: SYS:\PATCH\DISK1 INSTALL will inform you when installation of the PTF series is complete. VII. Verify installation of HPT009: - A. Load INSTALL. - B. Select "View/Configure/Remove installed products" option. - C. Select the "Currently Installed Products" option. - D. HostPrint should be at Version 1.10.10. VIII. Login to the NetWare HostPrint server as ADMIN. IX. Insure you are in the same Bindery Context as the file server where HostPrint is installed, with a search drive mapping to SYS:PUBLIC. X. Run HPDEF. (see page 2-2 of the Administration Guide for complete information) XI. Run PRINTDEF: Refer to the NetWare HostPrint Administration Guide, starting on PAGE 2-18, STEP NO.4 and follow the program prompts. The PRINTDEF database file PRINTDEF.DAT will be created/updated in the SYS:\PUBLIC subdirectory when PRINTDEF "Import Print Devices" is executed. XII. Run PRINTCON: Refer to the NetWare HostPrint Administration Guide, starting on PAGE 2-22 and follow the program prompts. XIII. Login as SUPERVISOR /b, and run PRINTCON on any 4.x servers you will be sending HostPrint, print jobs to. The PRINTCON database file PRINTJOB.DAT will be created/updated in the SYS:\PUBLIC subdirectory when PRINTCON is executed. XIV. Login as SUPERVISOR, and run PRINTCON on any 3.x servers you will be sending HostPrint, print jobs to. The PRINTCON database file PRINTJOB.DAT will be created/updated in the SYS:\PUBLIC subdirectory when PRINTCON is executed. NOTE: Any print jobs which were configured with/on a 3.1x server with PRINTCON, can no longer be used. Patch History: HPT009 supersedes the HPT001-HPT005 series (relative to a NetWare 4.1 installation only. Solution Specifics: After HPT009 is applied: 1. CSCON will now support a selection list of more than 50 print jobs. 2. HPCONSOL will now support more than 20 defined print jobs. 3. HPCONSOL has increased buffer capacity to support the maximum field lengths in server, print server, print queue, and print job names. 4. HPOBJECT will now support NetWare servers with Accounting installed and the Account Balance assigned. 5. PostScript HostPrint jobs will now print without an extra form feed at the end of the print job and without a PostScript error report to the printer. 6. The new HOSTPRT.NLM corrects the way in which Host Print handles thread switching making it stable in large environments. 8. The correct version of SAACOPY will now be copied to the SYS:SYSTEM\NWSAA\SAACOPY subdirectory restoring functionality of the updated SAACOPY. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Any trademarks referenced in this document are the property of their respective owners.
