NetWare network.

What to do next: The next section covers setting up the printer as a remote

Assigning a Password for the Print Server (Optional).” Otherwise, skip to
“Step 4: Setting Up the PostScript Printer Driver for NetWare.”

Step 2, option B:

Setting up the printer as a remote printer

To configure your printer as a remote printer, you must use PCONSOLE to
specify the print server that will provide service to your printer, create a print
queue (if necessary), and associate a print queue with the print server. You
must also use the Apple LaserWriter Utility to set up the printer as a remote
printer.

IMPORTANT

The procedures in this section are specific for a version of

PCONSOLE running under NetWare 4.02. If you are running PCONSOLE
under NetWare 4.1 or NetWare 3.x, the menus and commands will differ
slightly.
