Creating Public Access Printers

Follow the steps below to configure a Remote printer at the server console.

NOTE:
If you have not finished the previous procedures yet, go back to "Creating Public Access Printers at the Server Console".

CAUTION:
Be aware that configuring a Remote printer will damage the current printing environment.

1. Select Remote (rprinter on IPX) Printer from the Configure Port Handler menu, then press <Enter>. The Configure Remote (rprinter on IPX) Printer screen appears.
   
   
   
   
2. Configure the following options:
   
   
   • Printer SAP Name: Enter the primary print server name that must be a unique name on the network. Do not use the following characters for the SAP name; ~!@#$%^&*()+`={} [] | \ : ; " ' < , >. ? / ` . The SAP name is the primary print server name the Printer Agent will use when emulating PSERVER.NLM.
     NOTE:
     Do not use any characters of the product name in the SAP name if you are using a EPL-N2000 printer or printers connected with the interface card model C82357*. If you want to use part of the product name for the SAP name, type "-PA" after part of the product name.
     For example: Stylus-PA
     
   • Printer Number: Normally enter 0 for the printer number.
   • IPX Network Number: Enter the IPX network number of the print server. This is the number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment and is usually referred to as the IPX external network number. See the Network Address on the status sheet for the IPX Network Number.
   • IPX Node Number: Enter the IPX node number of the print server. This is the number that uniquely identifies a print server. See the MAC Address or Node Number (C82357*) on the status sheet for the IPX Node Number.
     
     
3. Press <Esc>, then select Yes to save changes.
   
   

NOTE:

It takes a few minutes to start printing after configuring the printer. Be sure to turn the printer with an internal print server off and back on to update the configuration.
