Configuring your Linux machine as a Novell Print Client.</A></H2> <P>The <EM>ncpfs</EM> package includes two small programs that allow you to handle printing from you Linux machine to a printer attached to a Novell print server. The <EM>nprint</EM> command allows you to print to a file to a NetWare print queue. The <EM>pqlist</EM> command allows you the list the available print queues on a NetWare server. <P>To obtain and install these commands just follow the instructions relating to the NCP client described earlier. <P>Both commands require that you supply username and password so you might normally consider building some shell scripts to make the task of printing easier. <P>An example might look like: <BLOCKQUOTE><CODE> <PRE> # pqlist -S ACCT_FS01 -U guest -n # nprint -S ACCT_FS01 -q LASER -U guest -n filename.txt </PRE> </CODE></BLOCKQUOTE> The login syntax is similar to the <EM>ncpmount</EM> command. The examples above assume that fileserver <CODE>ACCT_FS01</CODE> has a <CODE>guest</CODE> account with no password, that a print queue called <CODE>LASER</CODE> exists and that <CODE>guest</CODE> is allowed to print to it. <P>On my Linux boxen I have a short shell script for each Novell printer. This can then be used as a print filter to allow printing using the standard Linux spooler. <P> <HR> <A HREF="IPX-HOWTO-12.html">Next</A> <A HREF="IPX-HOWTO-10.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="IPX-HOWTO.html#toc11">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
