Use Default Host Printer Mapping 

The NetWare/iX product provides a sample host configuration you can use
to setup one host printer for NetWare print services.  You can use these
defaults if you have an MPE/iX device named "lp".  The configured values
are included on the Host Printer Worksheet (in this chapter, and an extra
copy in Appendix A):


          Figure 6-2.    

The host printer mapping (configured in SCONSOLE) has already been done.
To complete the configuration, use the NetWare utility PCONSOLE as
described below:

   1.  Make sure NetWare/iX has been started:

          a.  Log into your MPE system:

              :hello manager.sys,netware

          b.  Type the command:

              :nw status

          c.  If you need to start NetWare, type:

              :nw start

   2.  From a NetWare client, log into the NetWare/iX server as
       SUPERVISOR:

       F>login supervisor

   3.  Run the NetWare print utility:

       PCONSOLE

   4.  The PSCONSOLE menu is displayed.  Create a NetWare print queue by
       choosing:  "Print Queue Information"

       Press <Insert> and type in a print queue name.  For example, you
       could name the queue:  MPEHOSTQ1 Enter this name on your Host 
       Printer Worksheet.

   5.  Next, create the NetWare Print Server:  Press <Escape> and choose
       "Print Server Information".

   6.  Press <Insert> and type the name of the print server.  Use the
       default name provided on the worksheet:  NWIX_PSERVER. 

   7.  Next, create a printer name:  Choose the print server name you
       created in step 6 and press <Enter>, then choose "Printer Server
       Configuration" followed by "Printer Configuration".

   8.  Select slot number "0" for the printer (to match the default
       configuration). 

   9.  Type in a NetWare printer name for example:  mpe_hostlp.  The slot
       numbers must match between NetWare and MPE, but the printer names
       do not and are for description only.

  10.  For Type, press <Enter> and select:  Remote Other/Unknown.  The
       other values are filled in automatically.  Press <Escape> then yes
       to save changes, then press <Escape> again.

  11.  Next, allocate the printer to a queue by choosing:  "Queues
       Serviced by Printer":  Select the printer you created above (in
       step 9).

  12.  Press <Insert> and from the list displayed, select the print queue
       name you created above (in step 4).

       Enter a priority (for NetWare) such as 1.  (For more information,
       see the Print Server manual.)

       Press <Enter>.  Press the <Escape> key to back up screens until
       you are prompted to exit PCONSOLE, then highlight yes and press
       enter to exit.

  13.  If you have additional printers to configure, follow the steps in
       Configure Host Printers, using the host PSERVER named above,
       NWIX_PSERVER (only one host PSERVER can be configured).

  14.  If you have finished configuring printers, go to the section,
       Start Host Print Services.
