Printing from UNIX to a Novell printer?

Post by David A. Rich » Sat, 23 Mar 1996 04:00:00



Has anyone had any luck printing from a UNIX box to a Novell printer?  I know
there is some special hardware and software that exists, but cost is
a factor.  

If anyone could point me in the direction of info on how to do this I
would be grateful.

If responding by e-mail, please use the following address:

Thanks a lot,

Gary

 
 
 

Printing from UNIX to a Novell printer?

The way I did this was with the line printer daemon software from
Wollongong.  

I set a computer up to be a remote line printer daemon.
I tested to see if it would print to a physically attached printer  
remotely from Unix.  It worked.

I then logged the computer onto novell as a user and then captured the
printer port with printcap to a novell printer.

Voila a Unix to Novell gateway.

I am switching to a dedicted print servers though.  I've decided on
Digitals Products Inc's Netprint Devices.

The computers get bumped of novell too often to deal with for me.

 
 
 

1. Printing from unix to printer queue in Novell Network

I am trying to print from SUN  OS 5.5.1 to a printer Queue on Novell.  I
have configured the UNIX box to print to the Queue, but it does not work.
What, if any setups have to be done on the Novell side?

On the UNIX side I used 'lpadmin -p local-name -s
novell-system!remote-queue

You help is appreciated!
