PSERVER Setup

If you cannot get a connection with the NIC after completing the
print setup, confirm the following:

Have you tried repowering the NIC? Wait about a minute
before checking if it has logged in and attached to a queue.

Is the network connector fastened tightly to the unit?

Is the NIC already servicing a queue on another file server? If
so, it cannot service another file server at the same time.

Is there an available Netware user license for the NIC to utilize
while it acts as a PSERVER? Every PSERVER takes up one
user license since it logs in to the Novell file server.

When going through the PSERVER setup steps, did you name
the NIC “M_xxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” represents the last six
digits of the Ethernet address? This is the default format of the
unit’s name when it is acting as a PSERVER.

NOTE: “M_xxxxxx” must have six digits after the “_” so, if

necessary, pad out each byte with a zero (0).

Has the NIC’s name been changed from its default of
“M_xxxxxx” and, if so, have you incorporated this new name
into your PSERVER setup?

Is there a password set for the print server to utilize when it is
logging in to the file server? Make sure the NIC’s PSERVER
password matches that of the PSERVER setup, or set both
places to no password.
