LAN CONNECTION FOR PRINTERS IN NOVELL NETWARE ENVIRONMENT Contents Announcement Letter Number 192-173 dated July 28, 1992 US - Last Revised on July 28, 1992 Brief Description of Announcement, Charges, and Availability The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters provides a direct connection of parallel and EIA-232-C serial printers and plotters to local area networks (LANs). These new models support Novell (1) NetWare (1) networks. The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters consists of a network printer adapter unit that attaches to a LAN and a software utility that resides on the LAN print server. The adapter unit has both a serial and a parallel port that can be used simultaneously to support two printers or a printer and a plotter. The software utility takes the print data normally sent to the print server's parallel ports and redirects it to either the parallel or serial port of the adapter. The appropriate printer attached to the adapter receives the data and prints it just as if the printer were attached to the server's printer port. The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters software utility supports remote printing in PSERVER or RPRINTER mode with Novell NetWare 2.2 or 3.11 connected to either a Token-Ring (IEEE 802.5) or an Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet II) LAN. The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters operates without noticeable degradation of printing performance and supports the following data streams: IBM Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS), Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language (HP PCL), IBM/HP Graphics Library (GL), and Adobe PostScript (2). A user-friendly interface allows the user to easily configure and maintain one or more adapters on the network.

Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS o PSERVER and RPRINTER support is provided. o The 4033 provides simultaneous support for connecting printers or plotters: 1. One parallel printer 2. One EIA-232-C serial printer or plotter port. o The 4033 Model 011 provides support for Token-Ring 4/16 megabit/second (4/16Mbps) data rate (IEEE 802.5). o The 4033 Model 012 provides support for Ethernet 10BaseT 10Mbps data rate (IEEE 802.3). o The 4033 Model 013 provides support for Ethernet 10Base2 and 10Base5 10Mbps data rate (IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet II). o Printers and plotters can be located in the user work area, which may be remote from the print server. o Multiple eight file servers, two preferred file servers, and thirty-two print queue support. o The 4033 is compatible with IBM Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS), Adobe PostScript, HP PCL, and IBM/HP GL. DESCRIPTION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT The network utility provides systems management for supported printers and plotters connected to the IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters remote from the associated LAN print server. USER PRODUCTIVITY The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters allows printers and plotters to have location freedom. Printers and plotters are not required to be directly attached to the network printer server, but can be located anywhere in the network. Improved print-job throughput may be realized because of faster communications between the print server and printer. BUSINESS SOLUTION Customers can add printers and plotters to their existing Novell NetWare LAN Servers or networks. INVESTMENT PROTECTION With the IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters supporting Novell NetWare 2.2 and 3.11, with Token-Ring (IEEE 802.5) and Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet II) protocols, customers can now attach printers and plotters to their current networks. GROWTH ENABLEMENT The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters provides a constant and stable base so that as the business grows, printers can be connected via multiple external network adapter units at the location that is best suited to the users' needs. PRODUCT POSITIONING The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters (Models 011, 012, and 013) offers a direct LAN connection printing solution for Novell NetWare. It is designed for customers with direct attach printing requirements for Token-Ring (IEEE 802.5) or Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet II) connection. The new models (011, 012, and 013) teamed with the previously announced models (001, 002, and 003) provide printer LAN connection for the most popular network systems: IBM OS/2 (R) LAN Server, Novell NetWare, IBM OS/2, AIX (R), and Microsoft (3) LAN Manager.
