Printing to Netware printer problem.

Post by PattaRA Kiatise » Thu, 11 Jul 1996 04:00:00



 I used linux machine now and installed with ncpfs. I'd like to print file to
 Netware printer. But when i type
 "nprint -S xxx -U ott -q xxxxx <file name>". It said that "create error".
 I doesn't know what this mean.
 Before this i type "ipx_configure --auto_primary=on --auto_interface=on" and
  it can mount ncpfs file system successfully. Anyone experienced this error?

Thanks,
ott.

:
Does "slist" under linux list the server you want to access?
I think "create error" means that the server denied you creating the file in
the print queue. Check your setup again.

1. problem with print to Netware print queue

    I am trying to print from Linux (latest slackware) to a Netware
printer, or should I say a print queue on a Netware server.
    I followed exactly the same as the setup in "Printing Howto", below
is what I
setup for the printer:

1) In /etc/printcap, a printer section:
lp|remote:lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd:if=/var/spool/lpd/nprint-script:sh

(This is the only printer I can connected to).

2)For /var/spool/lpd/nprint-script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/nprint -S NovellServer -U username -P password -q PrintQueue -

3)For all files and directories in /var/spool/lpd, set permission
(chmod) as 775
also did this for lpd lpr lpq, etc in /usr/sbin. I also set the owner of

all directories
and files above as root.daemon

4) I have ncpfs package installed, which inclued nprint, nsend, slist,
ncpmount,
ncpumount command. I can successfully mount a Novell volumn and nprint a

text file to the Novell print queue. For the input filter
/var/spool/lpd/nprint-script, I tried successfully the following
command:
$ cat README | /var/spool/lpd/nprint-script
and the README was printed ok.

The problem is when I started lpd and did a lpr, I got the error
message:

/usr/bin/nprint: Server Unknown when initializing connection

and the error message kept coming as long as the job is spooled. I have
no problem to list the job by lpq or remove it by lprm.

I think the input filter was started because the error is about nprint,
which is
in the script, but I just don't understand why it can not find the
server. Is it
possible that somehow the arguments for nprint are lost? The script
seems
working because I can "cat README|/var/spool/lpd/nprint-script"
and the print works.

The spooled files are in /var/spool/lpd and looks ok.

Any suggestion is appreciated.
