B. NEW FEATURES AND FIXES The HP Printer Gateway 3.00b includes the following changes:

• The HP Printer Gateway server abends when printing to a printer that is configured by Novell’s iPrint technology with banner enabled on Windows 9x, NT, 2000 or XP. This issue has been resolved.

• The HP Printer Gateway snap-in causes NWAdmin to crash when accessing a NDPS object if the user does not has write permission for the public\win32\nls\English folder. This issue has been resolved.

• The input field of NDPS Manager in the HPGateUpdateTtcj.exe program now accepts up to 254 characters.

The HP Printer Gateway 3.00a includes the following changes:

• Added support for Novell's latest clients.

• An hpgerror.log file is created in the sys\etc directory when errors\warnings occur. The hpgerror.log file is limited to 1MB. As additional errors are logged, the oldest entry is deleted to keep the file size at 1MB. Writing to hpgerror.log can be disabled by setting “Enable error log” to 0 in the hpndps.ini file.

• Banner page options have been enhanced in postscript and PCL formats. These can be configured in the hpndps.ini (on sys\system) file under "Banner Option" and "Banner Justification." Setting “Banner Option” to 0 will cause the HP NDPS banner page to be printed in default mode (if banners are enabled). Setting “Banner Option” to 1 will cause the HP NDPS banner page to be printed in a QMS (NDS/Bindery) format. In addition to this, the Job Owner Name information can be right or left justified on Novell’s NDPS banner page. See Section F. CONFIGURATION AND LOGGING FILES for more details.

• Banner page options have been enhanced. Job Owner Name justification has been added to HP’s NDPS banner page. Users can now choose the Job Owner Name value. See Section F. CONFIGURATION AND LOGGING FILES for more details.

• Banner page selections now display correctly.

• Cancel Job requests now function properly.

• Console display errors were corrected. HP Printer Gateway statistics now display properly.

• Corrected "Toner Out" reporting defect.

• Host name resolution has been improved to align with the functionality of the Ping.nlm. If the HP Printer Gateway DNS issues still occur, the error message displayed on the console will include the associated Printer Agent to help pinpoint the problem.

• Printing multiple copies of one document works properly.

• Job monitoring can now be enabled or disabled. See Section F. CONFIGURATION AND LOGGING FILES for more details.

• Context help has been updated for the CONFIG_PRNTR_GATE_DEFAULTS and CONFIG_PRNTR_GATE_PARM menus.

• The LOAD HPGATE.NLM DEBUG load string works when the NLM is not already loaded.

• Abend related to dplsv386.nlm has been fixed.

• The configuration snap-in interface for Windows clients now allows easier entry of IP addresses, host names, and IPX addresses.

• The DNS name length has been increased to a maximum of 254 characters.

• The printer agent “not bound” issue has been fixed under the following situations:

1. The Service Thread shuts down a printer agent prematurely when the

HP Printer Gateway attempts to connect to the device and receives a connection refused or connection aborted message. An administrator may set the “Job retry timeout” entry to zero in the hpndps.ini file to eliminate this “not bound” situation.

2. The Job Monitor Thread shuts down a printer agent prematurely if the

printer does not respond in a timely manner when queried for the PML index of the current job. An administrator may set the “Job monitor timeout” entry to zero in the hpndps.ini file to eliminate this “not bound” situation.

3. A print job is canceled before the HP Printer Gateway has a chance to

open it. This returns a –811 error and the printer agent becomes “not bound”.

• HP Printer Gateway networking communication was converted from the

NetWare TLI (Transport Level Interface) API (Application Program Interface) to the NetWare Winsock API.

• A control access printer can be created with a non-existing host name in

the DNS table. This enables administrators to pre-configure printer agents prior to rolling into a production environment.

• Shutting down the HP Printer Gateway on a large network now does not

hang the Gateway while it is running public access printer discovery.

• All IP-based printer agents with a “Timeout to close job” value of 50 seconds will be updated to a new default value of 3 seconds during the

HP Printer Gateway upgrade/installation unless the user chooses not to do so. All other values will not be changed. 50 seconds is the default value in version 2.10a, and 3 seconds is the default value in this version. The new default value of 3 seconds for “Timeout to Close Job” minimizes the delay between print jobs.

This version of the HP Printer Gateway supersedes previous versions.

C. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS HP Jetdirect Print Servers IPX The HP Printer Gateway supports most HP Jetdirect print servers. However, some of these older print servers must be upgraded or replaced. TCP/IP To print through TCP/IP, this protocol must be supported on the HP Jetdirect print server. Most of the HP Jetdirect print servers support TCP/IP, with the exception of the HP Jetdirect 150X (HP product number J2592A) and some older single-protocol HP Jetdirect print servers. To find out if IPX or TCP/IP is supported on an HP Jetdirect print server, print its configuration page.

G. SPECIAL NOTES

• To extract the HP Printer Gateway files without installing on a Netware server: 1. Create a temporary directory, for example my_temphpg, on a client

machine. 2. Next, create three directories called ndps, public, and system under

the newly created temporary directory. 3. Execute the HP Printer Gateway installation program. 4. When asked to select a Destination Folder during the installation

process, click the Browse button and choose the temporary directory that just created.

5. After the installation is completed, all the HP Printer Gateway files can be found under the newly created temporary directory tree, e.g. my_temphpg.

• For IPX and IP printing using the HP Printer Gateway, we recommended using a Status Update Time Not Printing value of 15 seconds (or greater). In certain situations, setting this parameter to a value less than 15 may cause a lockup in the printer and prevent it from resetting to a Ready state after correcting an error condition (e.g., door open). To recover from this situation, power-cycle the printer.

• If partial print jobs are seen on NetWare 5.0, increase the Timeout to

close job value on the printer agent. Increasing the timeout value will increase the delay between jobs and will ensure that complete jobs will be printed. The Timeout to close job value can be found on the HP Gateway Parameter console screen. This problem is due to a known issue in Novell’s Winsock implementation; please refer to Novell’s latest winsock patch. Note: Some customers have been successful at running the pre-release version of HP Printer Gateway 3.00a. However, NetWare 5.0 is not supported in HP Printer Gateway version 3.00a or greater.

• Job monitoring is a special feature that requires additional time to process

each print job. It takes an additional 5 to 10 seconds for the job monitor thread to communicate with the printing device at the end of a job. To enable job monitoring, go to the Novell console and select the printer agent on the hp gateway screen. Edit the setting of the printer agent to enable job monitor. This modification is required for each printer agent.

• Not all HP printers support job monitoring, especially the low-end models,

such as CP 1700. If a printer does not support job monitoring but job monitoring is enabled, one of the known symptoms will be print jobs stuck in the print queue.

• If you do not have Novell’s support pack 3 for NetWare 6.0 or support

pack 6 for NetWare 5.1 installed on your system you might lose part of the print job. This incomplete-print job problem can be prevented by increasing the Timeout to close job value. From the Novell server console, select the printer agent on the HP gateway screen and edit the setting of the printer agent to increase the Timeout to close job value.

• If you experience “not bound” issues, change the “job retry timeout” and

the “job monitor timeout” values in the hpndps.ini file to zero. • Some printers, such as Color Laserjet 4550, may not go into powersave

mode after they are configured in the HP Printer Gateway. To work around this problem, change the monitoring update interval while not printing to 00:00:00 or to a value higher than the powersave timeout.

H. RUNNING HPGATEUPDATETTCJ.EXE

Purpose: To update the “Timeout to Close Job” (TTCJ) value on multiple printer agents. Location: The HpGateUpdateTtcj.exe can be found on the Novell NetWare server under sys:\Public\win32 directory after the installation of HP Printer Gateway. Platforms: The HpGateUpdateTtcj.exe is a Windows program and can be run under Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Requirements: An existing NDS Tree and an existing NDPS manager.

How-To:

1. In the NDPS Manager box, type in the name of a fully qualified NDPS Manager.

2. In the NDS Tree Name box, type in the name of the NDS Tree. 3. Click the Attach button. This will display a list of existing HP Gateway

Printer Agents. 4. You may filter the list of Printer Agents by protocol in the Protocol

Filter section. To see a list of IP-based Printer Agents, check the IP box only. To see a list of IPX-based Printer Agents, check the IPX box only.

5. Select those Printer Agents, in which you wish to update the “Timeout

to Close Job” value. 6. You may change the new “Timeout to Close Job” value by increasing

or decreasing the New Timeout to Close Job Value. We recommend the default timeout value of 3 seconds to minimize delays between print jobs.

7. Click the Update Timeout Values button to update the values.

Bench Mark: It took 10 minutes to update 600 printer agents (one second per printer agent) on a 2.4 GHz single processor machine running NetWare 6.0 support pack 3. Note: This program is run automatically during upgrade of HP Printer Gateway version 3.00a or greater. The previous default value of 50 seconds for the “Timeout to Close Job” will be updated to the new default value of 3 seconds for all IP-based printer agents unless the user chooses not to do so.
