Note: As of PAS 2.5, this is a workaround solution in both UNIX and Nov-
ell systems until a future revision re-works the protocol from System 
Manager to the UNIX/Netware server. Future revisions will enable the 
remote system to identify the name used when communicating with 
the Accounting Server, and register the printer with that name instead 
of the SM node name. The current protocol also causes problems when 
running in an NT cluster environment, due to problems with Netbios 
aliasing.

Once the printers have been configured on the UNIX server, 
you need to register them in PAS using the System Manager 
application

1. On the management workstation, start System Manager. 

2. Add the UNIX print server as a server under your site 

node using its DNS name. Refer to the PAS Administra-
tor’s Guide for System Manager configuration.

3. In the System Manager tree view, expand your UNIX 

server node.

4. Expand the Print Server node and select 

.

All of the UNIX printers that you have created appear in 
the right pane.

5. Select a printer from the list.

The 

 column indicates that the printer is not regis-

tered.

6. At the bottom of the 

 list, click 

.

7. In the 

 group box of the 

dia-

log, enter information to describe the selected printer.

8. If you are setting up more than one logical printer defi-

nition for a single physical device, in the 

 section, select the appropriate physical device from 

the drop-down list.

To create a physical device definition, see the PAS 
Administrator’s Guide.

9. Optionally, in the following three text boxes, enter the 

printer’s duty cycle, rated speed and recommended vol-
ume, as specified by the manufacturer. Your printer 
specifications should provide this information.

These figures are used to calculate load in usage reports for 
the logical printer definition.

10.Optionally, you can assign a per-page price or a charging 

schedule to this printer.

For more information on per-page pricing and charging 
schedules, see the PAS Administrator’s Guide. 

11.Click 

.

1. On the network workstations, connect to the new printers 

that you configured on the UNIX server. 

2. Install printer drivers on each workstation as needed.
