NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: HPT011.EXE - Enhanced PRINTCON for HostPrint
README FOR: HPT011.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCTS and VERSIONS:
NetWare HostPrint 1.11
ABSTRACT:
HPT011.EXE contains a version of the NetWare 4.1 PRINTCON utility
which makes configuration of HostPrint 1.11 and HostPrint/400
easier by eliminating the need to use HPDEF and PRINTDEF. It is
only for HostPrint 1.11 and HostPrint/400 1.0 on NetWare 4.1 and
NetWare 3.12 servers.

SYMPTOM:
HPT011.EXE contains a version of the NetWare 4.1 PRINTCON utility
which
makes configuration of HostPrint 1.11 and HostPrint/400 easier
by
eliminating the need to use HPDEF to export print device names
and
PRINTDEF to import print device names.. The new PRINTCON
accesses the
list of HostPrint print device names directly from the HPDEF.DAT
database.
The HPDEF.DAT that is included with HostPrint contains print
device
definitions that are appropriate for most installations.
Therefore, in
most cases the new PRINTCON eliminates the need to use HPDEF or
PRINTDEF
when configuring HostPrint thus allowing configuration with just
PRINTCON and CSCON.

Installation Instructions:
Installing HPT011
I. Install HPT011 only on a NetWare 4.1 or 3.12 server; it
cannot be used on a NetWare 4.0x server.
IIA. ONLY if HostPrint is installed on a NetWare 4.1 server, or
a NetWare 3.12 server with NetSync (that is, a NetWare 3.12
server that the NetWare 4.1 utility NetSync, has modified to use
NetWare 4 printer utilities in a mixed 4.1 and 3.12 environment):
--1. Copy the following new files to SYS:PUBLIC on the HostPrint
server:
-------CAPTURE.EXE
-------NPRINT.EXE
-------PCONSOLE.EXE
-------PRINTCON.EXE
--2. Copy the following new files to SYS:PUBLIC\NLS\ENGLISH on
the HostPrint server:
-------CAPTURE.MSG
-------NPRINT.MSG
-------PRINTCON.MSG
IIB. If HostPrint is installed on a NetWare 3.12 server without
NetSync (that is, a NetWare 3.12 server using NetWare 3 printer
utilities), there are two ways to proceed.
--1. If a NetWare 4.1 server is available, copy the files
described in IIA (above) to the PUBLIC directory of the NetWare
4.1 server and execute PRINTCON from there.
--2. If there is no NetWare 4.1 server available, create a
directory "HPUTIL" under SYS:SYSTEM of the 3.12 server, and copy
the following files in HPT011 to that directory and execute
PRINTCON from there.
------PRINTCON.EXE
------PRINTCON.MSG
------PRINTCON.HEP
------IBM_RUN.OVL
------TEXTUTIL.IDX
------TEXTUTIL.MSG
------TEXTUTIL.HEP
III. How to Use the Enhanced PRINTCON to Configure HostPrint
In Chapter 2 of the "NetWare HostPrint Administration Guide",
you can skip the first 21 pages and start with "Defining Print
Jobs" on page 2-22. (If you need to add more print device
definitions or modify existing definitions, see pages 2-1 through
2-13 -- but you can omit the "Export Print Devices" step at the
bottom of page 2-12.)
When the <Insert> key is pressed to define a new print job, the
menu that appears has a new option, "Public Database for
HostPrint". (This option appears if the HPDEF.DAT file is
present on the current server and you have access rights to it.)
If you select this new option, the print job configuration panel
will appear, as usual. However, when you press <Enter> in the
"Device:" field, the selection list which appears now contains
the list of HostPrint device names from the HPDEF database on the
HostPrint server (the current server, where the print job
definition will be saved) - rather than a list of device names
from the PRINTDEF database on the target server (the server that
contains the destination print queue).
IV. If you want to modify an existing definition or create a new
one you
can still use the old configuration procedures.
The old method can be used instead of or in combination with the
simplified procedure. In other words, HostPrint can use any
print job that contains a print device name that can be found in
the HPDEF database -- regardless of whether that device name was
imported into the PRINTDEF database (so that the print job could
be configured the "old way") or the device name was obtained
directly from the HPDEF database (using the new, simplified
method).
