NWIPPAPR.PS is a Novell White Paper on NetWare/IP in PostScript format. You can print this on any printer which supports PostScript. 1. Printing a PostScript file from DOS using NetWare to an HP LaserJet IIISi with the PostScript Option installed: After reading the "Network Notes for the HP LaserJet IIISi Printer" manual provided with the HP LaserJet IIISi documentation set, I have learned that it is necessary to specify "/nobanner" when spooling a PostScript file to the printer through a NetWare print queue. In fact, HP recommends that the following options be set: Option Value ------ ----- File contents Byte stream Print Banner No Suppress form feed Yes However, after some experimentation I have concluded that the most important option is the "Print Banner" option. If "Print Banner" is set to "Yes" (which is the default for "nprint" and "capture"), the postscript file will be spooled to the printer but it will NOT be printed. The "Ready" light will blink on the printer indicating that it is receiving data, but the file will never be printed. Therefore, I recommend printing the file by using the following command: nprint nwippapr.ps /s=server_name /q=q_name /nobanner This command spools "nwippapr.ps" to the printer with "File Contents" set to "Text," "Print Banner" set to "No," and "Suppress form feed" set to "No." Although "File Contents" and "Suppress form feed" are not set to the HP recommended values, it still seems to work this way. If it doesn't work for you, then try printing to the printer by directly inserting it in the queue using PCONSOLE and setting ALL of the options (File Contents, Print Banner, and Suppress form feed) to the HP recommended values listed in the table above. 2. Printing a PostScript file using "lpr" from a SPARCstation running SunOS 4.1.2 to an HP LaserJet IIISi with the PostScript Option installed: lpr -Pprinter_name -s nwippapr.ps *Note: This has been tested and works using SunOS 4.1.2. The "-s" option is used to get around a file size limit which may be imposed on the print queue.
