Description Option

The description entry should be used to differentiate each network printer and should be descriptive enough for easy recognition.  Some examples might be:  Letterhead Laser, 8-Pin Color Plotter, Plain-Paper Fax, etc.  You cannot enter the following special characters:  /  =  ,  [  ]


Type Option

This field refers to the variety of printer.  It might be as specific as the name of the printer (such as HP LaserJet or Postscript) or as generic as 24-Pin Matrix.  The default type, which was defined when adding the printer driver, will be displayed but can be changed to whatever is applicable.

It is suggested that the Type field remain the same for similar printers.  Print Manager can sort its Printer Index by Type, as well as Description and Location.  Consistency in the Type field will help sort similar printers together.


Location Option

This field refers to the physical location of the printer, such as "Reception," "LAN Room," "Marketing," etc.  The combo box's list box will display the defined locations.  Each network printer must have a location.

Network Option

When the printer driver was originally installed, the standard network option defaults for each printer driver was defined.  Those network option defaults can be modified to the particular needs of each network printer with the Network button.

The Network button allows you to establish default network parameters that are valid for this printer driver.  These options include:  banner, user hold, deferred printing, timeout, file contents, form feed, copies forms, and auto end cap.

IMPORTANT: Various printer types, such as Postscript printers or plotters, cannot correctly interpret some network printing features. These printers should be set so that no banner is printed, file contents are Byte Stream, and form feeds will not be issued.

Setup and Reset String Options

These two fields are used for entering escape sequences that are accepted by the printer you are configuring. These strings are primarily intended for printing from DOS windows. The Setup String is sent to the printer prior to the print job and the Reset String is sent after the job.

For example, these strings could be used to put a printer in landscape mode for a particular job and then to reset it for portrait mode orientation.  Enter the strings in HEX as follows:  1B 41 for ESC A.  They must be two characters long. (B by itself is not acceptable; 0B must be entered.) A space may be inserted between the HEX characters. The number of HEX character is limited to 255, so the edit fields accept 3 x 255 to allow room for XX<space>.


Rights Option

The Rights button displays the Access Rights dialog box.  You can set the rights of users or groups for network printers using this dialog box.

Adding printer drivers to the database

You must install the Windows printer drivers in the printer database to be able to use them with Print Manager.  This is similar to adding a new printer driver in the Windows Control Panel, but much easier and more convenient.

1.	Choose Drivers from the Configure menu.

The Printer Drivers dialog box displays.

2.	Choose Add.

The Add Printer Drivers dialog box displays.

3.	Select one or more of the drivers in the Available Drivers list box and choose the Add option.

4.	Select the Copy Drivers check box so it displays with an X and type the name of the directory that you want to copy the drivers to.

You can type the directory name in one of the following formats:  drive:\directory or server/volume:directory.

You should copy the drivers to a directory that is in the users path. For example, in a network installation of Windows, you can install the files in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. You can also use the WWPRINT\DRIVERS directory if you place that directory in each users path.

Note:  Any postscript drivers with a .WPD (Windows Printer Definition) and .PPD (Postscript Printer Definition) extension must be copied to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

5.	Choose Add.

Print Manager Editor installs the printer driver and uses the drivers default settings.

Note:  As Print Manager Editor installs the driver, you see the printers options dialog box display. Do not press any keys until Print Manager returns to the Add Printer Drivers dialog box. If the Print Manager Editor cannot find a printer driver on the search path, a message box displays.  Choose OK in the message box to continue adding any other selected drivers. Choose Cancel to halt the process and return you to the Add Printer Drivers dialog box. Any drivers selected before the error message remain installed.

6.	Choose Close until you exit the dialog boxes.

Add Button

When you choose the Add button, you are given the opportunity to set the default options for network, icon, help file, and printer setup features for each selected driver.


Modifying printer drivers

Modify Printer Driver allows you to enter default values for each printer driver.  These values may be replaced later when actually adding network printers. The Type text box contains text describing the printer being selected. Examples of valid types might be "HP Plotter," "Color Laser," etc.

You may also specify a context-sensitive help file to be associated with each printer.  This is a Windows Write compatible file with an extension of .HLP, which is placed in the Print HELP directory.

At this time, you may also add a suffix, or default file extension, for this printer driver.  Suffixes are useful when adding jobs directly to the print queue through Qview.  Valid examples of suffixes might be .PS for Postscript, .PCL for HP LaserJet files, .PLT for plotter files, etc.

Attaching to another file server

When adding and modifying network printers, Print Manager Editor allows you to attach or to detach from any file servers connected to your network.  NetWare limits the number of servers you can attach.

1.	From the Add Network Printers dialog box, choose the left Server pop-box (magnifier).  The Attach/Detach File Server dialog box displays.

2.	Select a file server in the File Servers list box that you want to attach.

3.	Type your user name (or GUEST) and password, if required.

4.	Choose Attach to connect to the file server.

5.	Choose Close to return to the previous dialog box.

You may now select the newly attached server from a list box activated by the right Server pop-box.

Note:  If you choose Close without choosing Attach, you do not connect to the file server. Make sure that you choose Attach after you type your user name and password.


Deleting a network printer

You may delete or replace your network printers at any time.

1.	Select a printer in the Print Manager Editor window.

2.	Choose Delete Network Printer from the Configure menu.

3.	Choose Yes to delete the selected printer.


Creating context-sensitive help

Print Manager makes use of two types of online help:  Print Manager Help and Printer Help. Print Manager Help, included with each installation of Print Manager, documents program features such as menu commands, options, and operating procedures. Printer Help, which is context sensitive, can be created and modified by the network administrator for Print Manager users.

Print Manager's customized Printer Help supports help files created in Microsoft Write, an application included with each copy of Microsoft Windows. Write is a graphical word processor that allows you to select multiple fonts and incorporate graphics. Once created, these help files can be linked together with Hypertext-like fields.

Printer Help files must adhere to the following rules to work properly with Print Manager. First, they must be saved in Write with a .HLP file extension. Second, they must be placed in the HELP directory (or the Help directory you designated during installation).

1.	Run Microsoft Write (WRITE.EXE).

2.	Create your text file and format the text with selected fonts. Write accepts many graphics formats from the Clipboard. Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation for more specific information about Write's features.

3.	Choose Save from the File menu, replacing the .WRI extension with the .HLP extension before you save.

You may also rename your Write documents to end in .HLP after you have created them.

4.	Move the .HLP files to the HELP directory or to the directory defined by the WWPATH entry during installation.

The newly created help files will now be available to Print Manager and Print Manager Editor.

Hypertext Fields

You can link customized help files together to create a Hypertext-like help system. This can be useful for supplying documentation on particular printers to network users  -- in effect, an online printer manual.

1.	Type the tilde (~) symbol.

2.	Type the linked text that displays in the help file. Though not required, you can underline the text so that it displays underlined in the help file.

3.	Type the @ symbol.

4.	Type the name of the Write file you want to link.

5.	Press ENTER.

For example,

~How to Change the Toner@lsrtoner.hlp

~How to Clear a Paper Jam@lsrjam.hlp

The underlined Hypertext jump in the example above indicates visually which text in the help file contains more information. This is similar to the Windows Help system, but the underline is not necessary.

When you display the help screen, only the help topic titles appear. When the pointer cursor passes over a Hypertext jump area, it changes to a magnifying glass.

You must begin the Hypertext fields at the start of a paragraph. In addition, you cannot follow the field with any other information other than the help filename.

Requesting context-sensitive help


Requesting context-sensitive help

Print Manager follows the standard Windows convention of SHIFT+F1 to provide context-sensitive help. When you press SHIFT+F1 to request help, the cursor changes to an arrow with a question mark. You may then choose drop-down menu commands for specific information pertaining to those commands. Command-specific help is part of Print Manager Help.

You may also press SHIFT+F1 and then choose a printer in the Connected Printers or the Printer Index list boxes to request help.  For example, if you have created a custom help file for a PostScript printer and defined it in the Print Manager Editor, that custom file displays when you request help on that printer.


Printing the database to an ASCII file

You can print the information from the printer database to an ASCII text file, which you can print or view using a text editor.

1.	Choose Print Database from the Configure menu.

The Print to File Options dialog box displays.  The Active Database field indicates the location of the printer database.

2.	Check the Drivers box to include the printer driver information in the report and the .WI Files box to include WIN.INI entries for the printers.

3.	Use the Printer box to specify whether to include all printers, all network printers, all personal printers, or individual printers.

4.	In the Output Filename text box, type the name of the ASCII file where you want to contain the information. The default file name is WWPRINT.TXT.

OR

Choose Browse, select a file from a list box, and choose OK.

5.	Choose Print.

Print Manager Editor prints the report to the filename you selected.

Setup Dialog Box

The Setup dialog box displays the current print options for the printer-driver file you are configuring.  Print options are printer-specific settings such as the page orientation-portrait or landscape-or the manner in which paper feeds through the printer.  These options vary from printer to printer.

The following list explains some of the common print options:

Use this option	To do this

Printer	Specify the printer you are using with a printer-drive file.

Paper Source (or feed)	You use tray or bin feeder options when you have a printer that uses single sheets of paper.  A tractor setting assumes your printer prints on paper that feeds continuously into the printer on tractor wheels.  On some printers, you can choose to feed paper manually.

Paper Size (on Format)	For most printers, Windows assumes that you want to print on standard letter-size paper (8 1/2 by 11 inches).  If you are using a different size paper, you must change this setting to accommodate the new size.

Memory	Specify the amount of printer memory.  See your printer's manual.

Orientation	Paper orientation can be portrait or landscape.  Portrait means the page is taller than it is wide when you view the printed text upright.  Landscape means the page is wider than it is tall when you view the printed text upright.

Graphics Resolution	Select Graphics Resolution if your printer supports printing graphics at different resolutions.  Graphics resolution options can appear in the Setup Printer dialog box as High, Medium, or Low, or as dots per inch (such as 300 DPI or 120 x 144).

Cartridges	Select up to the maximum number of cartridges that can be physically plugged in to your printer from the list of those available for that printer.

Fonts	Set up additional fonts on your printer.  Fonts can be either font cartridges or downloadable soft-font files.  Notice that these are fonts supplied by a printer or font vendor, not the fonts supplied with Windows.

Options	Select from the unique options available for that printer.

Help	Obtain specific information about how to set up the options in the printer-driver file and any special printer settings you may need to use when printing with this printer driver from Windows.

Network Options Dialog Box

Network Options are default setting established by the network administrator.  The Network Options dialog box allows the user to change these options.

Choose this option	To do this

Permit User Hold	Determines whether a user may indefinitely postpone the printing of a job.

Permit Deferred Printing	Determines whether a user may postpone the printing of a job until a specified time.

Default Timeout	Sets the minutes after which NetWare will automatically close a print job and allow it to print.

File Contents	Declares whether the job will consist of a Byte Stream (which includes binary information), or will contain only text.  If Text is selected, you may enter a default tab size (the number of spaces that a tab character will represent).

Tab Size	When printing a document to an unintelligent printer (such as a TTY or a printer/typewriter), you may decide to expand the tab characters to an equivalent number of spaces (generally 8 spaces) in order to ensure that the document prints correctly.  This is a rare case and Windows will generally accomplish this task automatically.

Auto End Cap	Indicates whether to end the capture of a file for printing when end of file is reached. Microsoft recommends disabling this feature for Windows applications and enabling it for DOS applications. Permit Change indicates whether users will be allowed to change the default setting.

Banner	Indicates whether the network may add a banner (title page) to the beginning of a print job.  Permit Change indicates whether users can change the default Banner setting.  For example, the administrator could disable the banner by unchecking the Banner/Enable box, but give users the option of enabling the banner by checking the Permit Change box.

Add Form Feed	The status of the Enable check box indicates whether a form feed instruction should be sent to the printer at the end of each job.  Permit Change indicates whether a user is allowed to enable or disable form feeds.

Copies	Indicates the maximum number of copies.  Permit change indicates whether a user will be allowed to change the default form number.

Forms	Indicates the default form number (optionally assigned using the Novell PRINTDEF utility) to use when creating the print job.  Permit Change indicates whether a user will be allowed to change the default form number.

Add or Modify Network Printers Dialog Box

After the printer drivers and locations have been defined, you can configure network printers.  Configuration builds the list of network output devices available to users.

Choose this option	To do this

Server	Select the server that contains the appropriate print queues by choosing the right pop-box.  The list of servers to which you are currently attached displays.

If you wish to view the print queues available on an unattached server, choose the right-server pop-box to view, attach, or detach to other servers.

Queue	Select the NetWare print queue to associate with this printer.  Print Manager Editor lists all of the print queues defined on the selected server.  NetWare print queues are created and maintained using Novell's PCONSOLE utility.

Driver	This entry defines the Windows printer driver that should be associated with this particular network printer.  This list is derived from the Device Drivers section of the database.

Help File	Print Manager provides a Hypertext-like help facility that allows for the creation and customization of help files using the Windows Write program included with Windows.

The entry in this field will allow the installer to define which help file to use for a particular network printer. A special help file might exist to help the user understand the functions and maintenance of a given printer.

The default help file that was defined when the printer driver was installed will display in the edit field. The combo box's list box will display a list of all files with the .HLP extension that are located in the HELP subdirectory.

Description	This entry should be used to differentiate each network printer and should be descriptive enough for easy recognition.  Some examples might be: Letterhead Laser, 8-Pin Color Plotter, Plain-Paper Fax, Envelope Laser, etc.  The description cannot contain the following special characters:  /  =  ,  [  ]

Type	This field refers to the variety of printer.  It might be as specific as the name of the printer (such as HP LaserJet or Postscript) or as generic as 24-Pin Matrix.  The default type, which was defined when adding the printer driver, will be displayed but can be changed to whatever is applicable.

It is suggested that the Type field remain the same for similar printers.  Print Manager can sort its Printer Index by Type, as well as Description and Location.  Consistency in the Type field will help sort similar printers together.

Location	This field refers to the physical location of the printer, such as "Reception," "LAN Room," "Marketing," etc.  The combo box's list box will display the defined locations.  Each network printer must have a location.

Setup & Reset Strings	These fields are used to send escape sequences that are accepted by the printer you are configuring.  These strings are primarily intended for printing from DOS windows.  The Setup String is sent to the printer prior to the print job and the Reset String is sent after the job.

 	For example, these strings could be used to put a printer in landscape mode for a particular job and then to reset it for portrait mode orientation.  Enter the strings as hexadecimal numbers as follows:  1B 41 for ESC A.  Each hexadecimal number must be two characters long. (B by itself is not acceptable; 0B must be entered.) You can enter up to 255 hexadecimal numbers in each of these fields, and you can enter a space between one hexadecimal number and the next. A sample string is as follows: 1B 26 6C 33 48.

Network button	When the printer driver was originally installed, the standard network option defaults for each printer driver was defined.  Those network option defaults can be modified to the particular needs of each network printer with the Network button.

The Network button allows you to establish default network parameters that are valid for this printer driver.  These options include:  banner, user hold, deferred printing, timeout, file contents, form feed, copies and forms, and auto end cap.

Icons button	The Icon button allows you to choose an icon that represents the selected printer.  A selection of icons is included with Print Manager.  Choosing the icon name displayed in the list box graphically displays the icon currently selected.  Make your choice and select OK.

Setup button	The Setup button loads the Windows printer driver configuration screen, which is similar to the Control Panel Setup Printer option.  Printer setups defined here are stored and re-enabled whenever a user connects to this type of printer.

Rights button	The Rights button displays the Access Rights dialog box, which defines the LAN users and LAN groups that have access to network printers.

Point

To move the mouse until the cursor rests on an option. The mouse cursor is usually shaped like an arrow, but it may take other shapes.


Print queues

Print jobs waiting to be processed by a network's file servers and print servers are held in a print queue.  Print jobs that are placed in a queue are eventually routed to a waiting network printer.


Printer driver

A printer driver is a special program that tells Windows how to communicate with a certain printer or type of printer.


Printer Index

The Printer Index displays a list of all printers potentially available for use by your workstation.  The Printer Index works in either Network Printer mode or Personal Printer mode.  You can select to view either Network Printers or Personal Printers.


Qview

A Print Manager feature that allows you to view all print jobs pending in a queue as well as add, hold, defer, and delete your own print jobs.


Queue Operators

Individuals in a organization assigned special rights to use and manage network printers and their associated print queues.


Queue users

QuickStat

A Print Manager feature that provides information on a printer's availability and the number of jobs waiting to be printed.


Radio button

In a dialog box, radio buttons let you select one option from a group.  Selecting one option deselects all of the other radio buttons.  The group is usually surrounded by a border with a title.  To select a radio button, click on it or its label. If the radio button is in focus, the spacebar will also select the option.


Scroll

To move the contents of a window or list box up or down within the window or list box so you can view additional contents.


Scroll bar

A bar that appears at the right and/or bottom edge of a window whose contents aren't completely visible.  Each scroll bar contains 2 scroll arrows and a scroll box, which allows you to scroll within the window or list box.


Search path

Search paths specify where the file server should look for files when they are not in the current directory.  Programs are placed on search drives so they may be executed from any directory.  When you type the name of an executable file, the file server looks in the current directory for the file.  If it cannot be found, the file server continues looking for the file sequentially through the search path.


Select

To mark an item by highlighting it with key combinations or by clicking it with a mouse.  Selecting does not initiate an action.  After selecting an item, you choose the action you want to affect the item.


Setup

TAB

Moves the cursor forward from option to option within a dialog box.


Tab size

When printing a document to an unintelligent printer (such as a TTY or a printer/typewriter), you may decide to expand the tab characters to an equivalent number of spaces (generally 8 spaces) in order to ensure that the document prints correctly.  This is a rare case and Windows will generally accomplish this task automatically.


Text box

To enter text in a text box, choose the box and type. The insertion point, a blinking vertical line, shows where the text will appear. If the text is highlighted, your typing replaces the highlighted text.


Timeout

The timeout value allows you to change the number of seconds the network will wait before closing a print job and sending it to the printer.  Increasing the timeout value ensures that a complex job, which might take a long time to process, will not be prematurely closed and sent to the print queue.

If you are using the Windows Spooler with a network printer, the timeout value is irrelevant since Windows Spooler will close the print job upon completion.


Title bar

The bar at the top of a window that contains the name of the window (usually centered). You can move a window by dragging its title bar to a new location.


Type

The kind of printer being used, such as "Plotter," "24-pin Matrix" or "Postscript."

Setup and Reset Strings

Fields used to send escape sequences that are accepted by the printer you are configuring.  The Setup String is sent to the printer prior to the print job and the Reset String is sent after the job.


Shell

The application that automatically displays when you start Windows, from which you select other applications.  Examples or shells are McAfee Applications Manager and Microsoft Program Manager.


Status bar

The status bar displays information about a menu's items as you scroll down the menu.  It also displays Quick Help information when you select an icon representing a group, subgroup, or item.


Rights

Privileges that control whether users can assess network printers.  In Print Manager, a user has either full rights to use a particular printer -- or no rights, which means the printer does not appear in the Network Printer Index.
