Kyocera Mita KX drivers in a Novell environment (4.x, 5.x and 6.x).

The drivers under the Novell directory are for use with Novell NDPS and Point and Print (queue based non-NDPS) printing.  This guide describes how to install Kyocera Mita drivers for using NDPS or Point and Print.

NDPS or Novell Distributed Print Services gives an administrator centralized control and status monitoring of printers anywhere on the network.  It allows the administrator to upload drivers to one centralized place using a broker.  Once a driver is assigned to a printer agent, users can then connect to the printer and the drivers download automatically.  For more information on NDPS click here or use the following URL. http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/endps/usprint/ndps_enu/data/h6ajgkbr.html

Point and Print is a way of downloading drivers in a Novell queue-based (non-NDPS) environment.  Drivers are assigned to a print queue and loaded to the NetWare server.  When a user connects to the printer, the driver downloads from the server to the user’s machine.  

The drivers you need to use for Novell are located in the following directories:

For NDPS:
\\drivers\Novell\NDPS\NT4_Win2K
\\drivers\Novell\NDPS\Win9x_ME

For Point and Print:
\\drivers\Novell\Point and Print\NT4_Win2K
\\drivers\Novell\Point and Print\Win9x_ME 

NDPS
Use the following steps to load the drivers to the broker.  Make sure the drivers are not set to read only.  Thus, they can not be installed from the CD.  You will have to copy the drivers to the local machine, highlight all driver files, select Properties and uncheck the read only box.  This is a known issue with Novell and is to be fixed in a subsequent release.

1.	Open NWAdmin.
2.	Double click on the Broker to which you are loading the drivers.
3.	Click on Resource Management (RMS).
4.	Click Add resources.
5.	Choose the OS for the drivers you wish to upload.
6.	Click Add.
7.	Click Browse.
8.	Select the .inf file of the printer model you wish to load.
9.	In a few moments the driver will be loaded into the RMS.
10.	 Repeat step 8 for each model you wish to load.
11.	 You may need to unload and load the broker for some items to be refreshed.

Drivers get loaded to this location:
\\{server name}\SYS\ndps\resdir\{LANGUAGE}\prndrv\{driver os}
Example:  \\NW51\SYS\ndps\resdir\ENGLISH\prndrv\windows 2000

By assigning a driver to a printer agent, the drivers will be automatically installed to the user’s workstation when the printer is installed.  To assign a driver to a printer agent, please use the following steps:

1.	Open NWADMIN.
2.	Double click on the printer agent.
3.	If you are using the Kyocera Mita gateway, click on Printer Details.  If you are using the Novell gateway, click Control.
4.	Select Set Defaults.
5.	Click the Driver tab.
6.	Select the OS you wish to set drivers for.
7.	Select the driver from the list at the bottom of the window.
8.	Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each OS you wish to set drivers for.
9.	Click OK.

Automatic Driver Download can be used to load the new drivers or update drivers on each workstation in the container when users log in.  It can also be used to remove drivers.  To use this feature, please follow the steps below.

1.	Open NWAdmin.
2.	Double click the PA.
3.	Click NDPS Remote Printer Management.
4.	Check the Install to Workstations in this Container checkbox.
5.	Click Update Driver.
6.	Click Printer Details.
7.	Click Set Defaults.

5.	Click OK.
6.	Upon the next login, the drivers will be removed from the users’ workstations.

Point & Print
You will need MSPRINT.INF, MSPRINT2.INF and LAYOUT.INF for uploading Win9x drivers from NT (located in precopy2.cab on the Win98 CD).  You will need NTPRINT.INF from the I386 folder on the NT/2000 CD to load these drivers from Win9X.  You also need the NTPRINT.INF from the Windows 2000 CD if you wish to load the Windows 2000 drivers from Windows NT.  They are not required if you load the drivers from its corresponding OS (i.e. load the Win9x drivers from Win98 or load the NT drivers from NT and so on).

The default repository for the Point and Print drivers is
\\{server name}\SYS\LOGIN\{OS}\print\drivers\{language code number}
For example \\NW51\SYS\LOGIN\w2kx86\print\drivers\9

1.	In Windows 9x and NT open Network Neighborhood.  In Windows 2000 open My Network Places.
2.	Click on Novell Connections in Windows NT and Windows 2000.  In Windows 9x, click on the Tree.
3.	Browse thru the context (start from the Tree) to the printer queue.  
4.	Right click on the queue.
5.	Click Properties.
6.	On the Properties page in the NetWare Queue tab, the Type must show as Novell Directory Services Queue.
7.	On the Setup Point and Print tab choose the OS of the driver you want to upload.
8.	Choose the language of the driver you wish to upload.
9.	Click Select Printer Model.  
10.	 At this point, if you are uploading drivers for operating systems other than the one you are currently using, you will be prompted for the NTPRINT.INF or MSPRINT.INF file.  Locate this file and click OK.
11.	 Click Have Disk.
12.	 Browse to the path where the drivers are located.
13.	 Select the driver you wish to upload and click Open.
14.	 It will then upload the driver to its proper location.
15.	 On the Setup Point and Print tab – click Apply.

Known Issues

Issue:  I can’t browse for drivers when I am trying to upload them to the broker.  How can I fix this?

Explanation:  Right click on the shortcut to NWADMIN and go to Properties.  Add the switch   “ /disabletlsmgr” (without quotes) to the Target Line.  For example: \\Nw60\SYS\PUBLIC\win32\nwadmn32.exe /disabletlsmgr 
See the Novell’s TID # 10054369 on the Novell Support site for more information. 
 
Issue:  In Windows 2000, when I am trying to upload drivers for a Point and Print setup for Windows 9x or NT and there is not a browse function.

Explanation:  You can browse and upload the drivers for Win2K, Win9x, and WinNT from both Win9x or WinNT.  This function is not available in Windows 2000.

Issue:  I have updated the drivers in NDPS, but the client won’t download the new driver.

Explanation:  This is a known issue.  It is a problem with both automatic downloads and new installs.  In order for the drivers to download correctly, you need to do the following:
1.	Double click on the printer agent.
2.	Click Control or Printer Details if using the Kyocera Mita Gateway.
3.	Click Set Defaults.
4.	Click on the Drivers tab.
5.	For each OS, under Available Drivers you should select [None] then click OK.
6.	Click Control or Printer Details if using the Kyocera Mita Gateway.
7.	Click Set Defaults.
8.	Click on the Drivers tab.
9.	Then for each OS, select the driver you wish to use.
10.	Click OK.

Issue:  I can’t seem to be able to change the default directory that the Point and Print drivers get copied to.  How can I do that?

Explanation:  There is a fix for this on Novell’s Support site.  The fix is described in TID #10024206.

Issue:  After I load the drivers to the broker, I get a kcmep.dll error in NWADMIN.  How do I fix this?

Explanation:  To fix this error, unload the broker and load it again – this should resolve the problem.
