Novell Netware Verification; Send A Print File To The Printer - Tektronix Phaser 340 Service Manual

Novell NetWare verification
NetWare is a shell program running above DOS. Generally, in a Novell network,
a file server, which looks and acts much like a PC computer, maintains queues
for the print files created and sent for printing from other workstations on the
network. The printer, in turn, finds all file servers with Phaser 340 queues and
extracts its print files from them. You must determine if a computer can
communicate a print file to the file server.
Generally, as outlined in the Chapter 2 topic, "Configuring a Novell NetWare
server for the printer" on page 2-32, the file server and printer are configured
during the printer installation using software such as Advanced Configuration
Tool (ACT) or pconsole. The file server is given a name and configured with
queues for the printer.
Send a print file to the printer
1. Log into a file server from a NetWare workstation.
2. Type:
CAPTURE NB NT Q=<queue name> L=1
where <queue name> is the name established by the network
administrator of a queue the printer is to service, such as TEK340. L=1
specifies port LPT1
3.
Use any text editor to create the following two-line, text-only print file.
%!
showpage
4.
Copy the print file to LPT1 using this syntax:
copy <file.nam> LPT1:
where <file.nam> is the name of the print file.
The printer should load and then eject a blank sheet of paper.
If the print file does not print, verify that:
The printer has been set up to service the queue.
The password set for the printer (if one was set by the administrator), is
the same as that used for the print server.
The Ethernet frame type that the printer is using is supported by the file
server.
The correct printer language is being used by the printer to interpret the
incoming print file; this is indicated on the printer's configuration page.
