Chapter 4
Novell NetWare
This Chapter describes how to configure and use the Print
Server in the Novell NetWare environment.
Configuration Overview
This section describes the checks and decisions to be made before proceeding with
configuration under NetWare
Requirements
•
NetWare 2.2, NetWare 3.1x or NetWare 4.x
•
NetWare PCONSOLE V1.21 or higher in the file server
•
NetWare Print Server V1.22 or higher (remote printer mode only)
•
DOS 3.3 or higher on workstations.
•
Hardware installation must be completed.
Operating Modes
Two operating modes are possible -
Print Server and Remote Printer. Print Server
mode is faster and uses fewer resources than Remote Printer mode but occupies a
user login slot. Remote Printer mode does not use a login slot. Print Server mode
should be used if possible.
♦ Print Server Mode
The Print Server emulates NetWare PSERVER. When activated, the device will
perform the following operations:
•
Login to specified NetWare file server(s)
•
Poll the specified print queues.
•
If there are print jobs in the print queues, then the Print Server will send them
to the printer(s).
♦ Remote Printer Mode
The Print Server emulates a NetWare Remote Printer. After the unit is activated,
it will perform the following operations:
•
Connect to NetWare PSERVER
•
Receive the print jobs sent by PSERVER
•
Convert the packet format to a acceptable printer format, and send the data to
the printer.
Configuration Method
The following two methods can be used to setup the Print Server in the NetWare
environment.
♦ Quickset
The QUICKSET program will configure the Print Server and the current Novell
server in a single operation.
