Depending on whether the clients are Win95 clients or DOS clients, it
can be either really easy or really messy! Complications include the
SAP Advertising bug.
If the clients are other Win95 machines running Client for NetWare,
you merely have to install File & Print Sharing for NetWare networks,
and specify your NetWare server as the security provider in Access
Control. When you re-boot you can share out drives and printers to
specific users in the NetWare server's Bindery.
Now, if the client runs Win95 there's no real troubles, because Win95
will perform "Workgroup advertising" which works like the workgroup
naming service (browse master) in WFWG, and this won't interfere with
normal NetWare communication. To ease browsing troubles, set one of
the sharing machines (like the one with the printer attached) and have
Workgroup Advertising: "Enabled: Preferred Master" so the browse
master control doesn't bounce from machine to machine, and broadcast
useless messages to your server.
Beware if you want to share to non-Win95 clients via FPS for NetWare;
you have to turn on "Service Advertising Protocol" (SAP). This is how
NetWare servers become aware of each other, and if you turn on SAP for
a Win95 machine, it will appear in SLISTs and SYSCON etc as NetWare
servers. You can even get connection info (Server version: "Windows 95
4.00.950, 250 user") from SYSCON. Problem is, not only would SAP
advertising by a lot of Win95 systems cause a lot of network traffic,
it could possibly kill any routing in an inter-network, and make DOS
clients try to log in (as in Preferred Server login) to Win95 servers,
which won't work. If you really want to screw up your network, share
out your hard drive with the share name SYS and make a directory
called LOGIN, and watch what happens. NOTE: Please don't do this,
unless you LIKE getting beaten up by your network administrator.
A better solution is to install FPS for MS networks and put either
WFWG on the non-Win95 clients, or if they can't run Windows, Workgroup
Connection for DOS. Both of these can run alongside Novell's NETX and
VLM client software. OS/2 Warp Connect can load Windows and NetWare
clients simultaneously as well. To save on memory on the DOS
computers, consider using "Direct Hosting over IPX", which will remove
the need to use NetBEUI and save 40 KB of memory or so. The absolute
smartest way, however, is to use a common space on the server.
Now printer sharing is another story...
* 6.12.1. How do I share my printer through RPRINTER or PSERVER
instead?
Oh no... you can't run RPRINTER.EXE on a Win95 station because you
have to run it before Windows loads! Well, you could use VLM and
RPRINTER together but what's the point of real mode network software
on Win95? There is a better way. And no, running it from WINSTART.BAT
doesn't work.
Download and Install Microsoft Print Agent for NetWare. Add a
Service from Network control panel and hit "Have disk", then tell it
to look in ADMIN\NETTOOLS\PRTAGENT on the Win95 CD-ROM, or wherever
you extracted that download. Note that Print Agent will only work if
you run Client for NetWare; it won't run with VLM or Novell's
Client32. MSPSRV is a Queue Server (as opposed to a Remote Printer).
BE WARNED: MSPSRV was a last minute hack by Microsoft and doesn't have
the re-connect features, etc of Client for NetWare. In addition, it
requires a Bindery print server object. NetWare 4.x Administrators:
Use PCONSOLE to make Bindery mode print server objects.
UPDATE September 1998: Microsoft released bugfixes to a LOT of the
problems documented here. The files needed, however, appear
unavailable for download. According to KB article Q132786, the
following three files replaced will correct them:
* MSPSRV.EXE v4.00.952
* NWPP32.DLL v4.00.952 or later
* NWREDIR.VXD v4.00.952 or later
These come with Win95 OSR 2.1 and 2.5, but I've prepared a
special download that contains these updated files in case you
don't have one of these releases (minus NWREDIR.VXD because I only had
the NDS version).
Just before you re-boot, change your IPX properties so you have
Maximum Sockets and Maximum Connections set to at least 70, like
RPRINTER/PSERVER's recommended setting of
SPX CONENCTIONS=60
I suggest 70 instead of 60 because FPS for NetWare and Remote Registry
require additional free sockets. And speaking of Sockets, you can't
use a third party TCP/IP dialer if you plan to use MSPSRV, because it
uses the Winsock interface over IPX.
Now, also just before you re-boot, run PCONSOLE and create a new print
server object. Add one printer to it named "Printer 0", set for Remote
Parallel, LPT1 (Or just Parallel on NW 4.x servers). Attach it to a
print queue on the NetWare server, if necessary, detaching the queue
from any other print server object it was attached to. If you did
detach it from an existing print server object, you will have to
re-start that PSERVER, which usually means typing unload pserver and
load pserver xxxxxxxx (whatever the print server object's name was)
from the NetWare console.
Now finally, re-boot the Win95 station and log in. The local printer
attached to LPT1: will now have a "Print Server" tab in its properties
sheet. Be warned: This tab has bugs, so follow these six steps
precisely!
1. Select the Print Server tab and turn on "Enable print server for
NetWare". If you get any evil error message just ignore it.
2. Select the NetWare server with your new pserver object, from the
DROP DOWN LIST, even if it was already selected.
3. Select the pserver object you just created from the NetWare server
drop down list.
4. Select how often you want this computer to check the queue for
print jobs. The 30 second default is fine.
5. Hit OK.
6. Hit Start Menu/Shut Down, close all programs and log in as
different user, and re-log in. Now all jobs in that NetWare queue
will find their way to this printer.
The reason you have to re-log in, is you will lose your drive mappings
as soon as you OK those settings! MSPSRV is riddled with many dumb
bugs, but Microsoft seems to swear by it. Check out KB article
Q134747 for all the gory details. Every time you view this
"Print Server" tab, it seems you will lose all your drive mappings.
Re-logging in will restore them.
You will also have to create a print server object for EVERY Win95
computer sharing a printer this way, because each system becomes a
PSERVER look-alike (called a Queue Server), with all the requirements
of a stand alone PSERVER.EXE or PSERVER.NLM; the only difference is
that it multi-tasks. You will also have to remain logged in to keep
MSPSRV running, as logging out causes all programs to close, including
MSPSRV. It will re-start when you re-log in, or cancel the log in. On
machines with very active printers, you might want to consider setting
their Default Login to "Windows Logon" with a blank password, so they
automatically log in to NetWare on power-up, and re-enabling Automatic
NetWare Login for those specific machines, if you disabled it via
system policies.
Oh yeah, one more thing: Don't capture LPT1: to a network queue if
you're running MSPSRV to share a printer. This might have worked in
RPRINTER, but it doesn't work here. What will happen is that MSPSRV
will suck the job off the queue and send it to the printer hooked up
to LPT1, then that printer will send the job to wherever LPT1 was
captured to, instead of to the local printer! I've seen this happen!
Create a second printer in Win95 and have it point to the queue, if
you're afraid of cutting in front of other people's print jobs.
So to recap: Create a print server object with a single printer, for
each Win95 computer sharing a printer through MSPSRV. Attach a print
queue to each of them. Make sure you aren't capturing LPT1: to a
network printer. Install MSPSRV on the Win95 computers sharing
printers. Set Max Connections and Max Sockets to at least 70 in
IPX/SPX properties. Re-boot to activate. Select the "Print Server" tab
in the printer you want to share. Select the file server from the
drop-down list and the print server object from its drop down list.
Hit OK. Re-log in. And Pray.
* 6.12.2. ...on a Directory Services network?
I managed to get MSPSRV running on an NDS network. Originally, I
thought switching the NetWare 4.1 version of PCONSOLE to Bindery mode,
and creating Bindery queues and print server objects, would do the
job. Apparently not. NDS clients can't readily print to Bindery print
queues.
So, after a lot of fiddling I realized that Novell's Quick Setup
option in PCONSOLE does the job almost perfectly! Quick Setup creates
a new NDS queue, NDS printer, and NDS print server object, and makes a
Bindery version of the queue and print server object, granting
printing rights to everyone in the NDS tree. A little extra fine
tuning and it works straight away with MSPSRV. Here's what I did, with
my example object names in (parenthesis):
1. Use PCONSOLE's Quick Setup option, in NDS mode, to create an NDS
queue (Q1), printer (P1), and print server object (PS-INLINE). If
you already have an NDS print server object, be sure to specify a
NEW print server object and not use any existing ones.
2. Change the new printer object (P1) so it uses LPT1, IRQ 7, "Change
forms as needed", and have it service the NDS queue (Q1).
3. Switch PCONSOLE to Bindery mode (Press F4), edit the Bindery queue
(Q1) so its settings match the NDS queue. Add the Bindery print
server object (PS-INLINE) to the list of print servers for this
queue.
4. Edit the Bindery print server object (PS-INLINE) so its settings
match the NDS print server object, and create a Bindery printer
within this object with the same name as the NDS printer object
(P1), and the same settings (printer number 0, LPT1, IRQ 7, Change
forms as needed). Have this Bindery printer service the Bindery
queue (Q1). The big catch is that Bindery configurations aren't
accessed by NDS objects, or vice versa, as PCONSOLE's warning
tells you. Heed that warning.
5. With all that accomplished, the NDS objects and Bindery
equivalents will work together as if they were one set of objects.
Now, go to the Win95 station running MSPSRV and have it service
this print server object (PS-INLINE) as per the regular
instructions. If you're switching an existing queue to this new
print server, you'll need to stop and re-start PSERVER.NLM on the
server so it won't try to service that queue anymore.
All this fiddling may take a while, but it's the quickest way I could
get it working, so that both NDS and Bindery clients can print to the
printer shared via MSPSRV. And surprisingly, many of the bugs
Microsoft mentioned in KB article Q134747 above, don't show up this
time. Not bad at all! Yes, you have to do this for each Win95 station
sharing a printer this way.
Best of all, MSPSRV takes far less memory (a mere 64 KB on the
workstation) than Novell's NPRINTER Open Beta.
Rob Menasco outlined a few additional things to watch out for:
* Go through the Print Server tab and reselect all items, click on
"Apply". (This is documented in the MSPSRV KB article above;
reselect the print server from the drop down list)
* Re-boot, make sure print server is active. I do a USERLIST from
DOS and look for an attached print server in PCONSOLE.
* In the Spool button on Printer Setup: Set to "Direct Print" and
"Bi-Directional". This fixes the unknown system error. (I gather
this is so MSPSRV writes to LPT1: directly, rather than through
the Win32 print API)
* Watch for the source or error messages. The Spool errors come from
SPOOL32 or the PRINTERS folder.
* Watch for Rights problems (Use WINDOWS_PASSTHRU account; make sure
it has rights to the spool).

I'm shocked, this is solitary of the most engrossing videos in the fascinated by of macho that I watched.
I exhort to worry it, I indubitably could not tear myself away from watching it. Would suitor to do the lull and all again.
