b. Open the InfoPrint Manager Management Console and select Edit → Service Configuration. c. Make note of the directory listed in the Base namespace path field. The path will be \var\pddir. d. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to that directory. e. Right-click the folder for that directory and select Sharing from the pop-up menu. Configuring for interoperability between an InfoPrint AIX server and an InfoPrint Windows server By performing this set of procedures on both an InfoPrint AIX server and an InfoPrint Windows workstation, you can configure InfoPrint Manager to support interoperability between InfoPrint AIX servers and InfoPrint Windows servers. Note: If you are interested in configuring two or more InfoPrint AIX servers for interoperability, see "Installing secondary InfoPrint servers" in InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Getting Started. When configuring InfoPrint Manager AIX and Windows servers to support interoperability, make sure that these rules are followed: 1. Each InfoPrint Manager server must be accessible by all other InfoPrint Manager servers using the same IP address. For example, if Server1 is an InfoPrint Manager AIX server with an IP address of 9.99.155.122, then all other InfoPrint Manager servers must use 9.99.155.122 to access Server1. 2. The IP address for each InfoPrint Manager server must be the address that is identified for the first (or primary) network card that is defined to that server. 3. All printer objects (whether logical destination, actual destination, or queue) must have unique names if they are used by interoperating InfoPrint servers. If the printer objects do not possess unique names, you might have trouble viewing them through the InfoPrint Manager Interface from a non-namespace server. LPD service for AIX can be used however, by submitting jobs with the lpr command to actual destinations on the AIX server. The lpr command can also still be used as before with Windows printer destinations (just not InfoPrint Manager printers). Setting up the InfoPrint AIX server for interoperability Perform these procedures on your InfoPrint AIX server to prepare for interoperability with an InfoPrint Windows server. This presumes that you have installed InfoPrint Manager for AIX Version 4 Release 3 on your AIX server and have logged onto the server as root. Starting NFS and connecting the AIX secondary server 1. Open a dtterm window and type: /etc/rc.nfs to either start the NFS daemon or make sure that it has been started. 2. Open a dtterm window, type smit. 136 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures

Make note of the directory listed in the
Base namespace path
field. The

Configuring for interoperability between an InfoPrint AIX server and an
InfoPrint Windows server
By performing this set of procedures on both an InfoPrint AIX server and an
InfoPrint Windows workstation, you can configure InfoPrint Manager to support
interoperability between InfoPrint AIX servers and InfoPrint Windows servers.
Note:
If you are interested in configuring two or more InfoPrint AIX servers for
interoperability, see "Installing secondary InfoPrint servers" in
InfoPrint Manager for
AIX: Getting Started
.
When configuring InfoPrint Manager AIX and Windows servers to support
interoperability, make sure that these rules are followed:
1.
Each InfoPrint Manager server must be accessible by all other InfoPrint
Manager servers using the same IP address.
For example, if
Server1
is an InfoPrint Manager AIX server with an IP address
of
9.99.155.122
, then all other InfoPrint Manager servers must use
9.99.155.122
to access
Server1
.
2.
The IP address for each InfoPrint Manager server must be the address that is
identified for the first (or primary) network card that is defined to that server.
3.
All printer objects (whether logical destination, actual destination, or queue)
must have unique names if they are used by interoperating InfoPrint servers.
If the printer objects do not possess unique names, you might have trouble
viewing them through the
InfoPrint Manager Interface
from a non-namespace
server.
LPD service for AIX can be used however, by submitting jobs with the
lpr
command to actual destinations on the AIX server. The
lpr
command can also still
be used as before with Windows printer destinations (just not InfoPrint Manager
printers).
Setting up the InfoPrint AIX server for interoperability
Perform these procedures on your InfoPrint AIX server to prepare for
interoperability with an InfoPrint Windows server. This presumes that you have
installed InfoPrint Manager for AIX Version 4 Release 3 on your AIX server and
have logged onto the server as
root
.
