Quick Install

This section gives the basic steps to install the SDLPD software on your server. You must follow these steps before proceeding to the remainder of the manual. After installation, you will need to configure SDLPD for incoming or outgoing print jobs.

1) Install the NetWare TCPIP.NLM. Refer to the TCP/IP Transport Supervisor Guide for details on installing the TCPIP.NLM. You can verify that TCPIP is working correctly by using the ping program from a UNIX host and pinging your NetWare server.

2) Copy SDLPD.NLM and SDLPDCON.NLM into your SYS:SYSTEM directory.

3) From the File Server console, type "load sdlpdcon" to load the configuration program.

A menu will be displayed. Select the Install option. The following dialog will be displayed.

When SDLPD is running, a screen will be presented with information about print jobs as they are processed. You can choose to have each entry in the log screen show the date, time, or severity (level) of the message.

Log To File saves all log screen output to SYS:SYSTEM\SDLPD.LOG. SDLPD will keep this file open while loaded. You must unload SDLPD to access this file.

The Log Level option sets what level of severity will be displayed. The options are for Error, Warning, Message, and Noise. The option for Noise is only useful for debugging any problems you may have. The default option is a Log Level of Message.

LPR Low & High Port Range: See the section titled Transferring Print Jobs to UNIX Systems.

Max Concurrent Incoming Jobs: See the section titled Receiving Print Jobs From UNIX Systems.

5) Before proceeding, please review the chapters titled Transferring Print Jobs to UNIX Systems and Receiving Print jobs From UNIX Systems. You will need to configure SDLPD depending on the services you wish to have performed.

6) Last when configuration is complete, quit the SDLPDCON.NLM.

From the File Server console, type "load sdlpd" and press enter. SDLPD will be loaded and it should begin servicing jobs.

You should add the line "load sdlpd" to your sys:system\autoexec.ncf to allow SDLPD to be loaded automatically when the server is booted.
