|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
