4.6.3.3. Service additional NetWare bindery file servers
If your FastPrint Server is configured as a NetWare Print Server, you can easily set it to
service more than one bindery file server.
1. Login, with supervisory rights, to the other file servers that you want your FastPrint
to service.
2. Create queues and a Print Server name for your FastPrint Server on each file server
you want to service.
3. Login, with supervisory rights, to your FastPrint Server’s master file server.
4. Run PCONSOLE.
5. Select Print Server Information, and then select your FastPrint Server in the Print
Server list.
6. Select Printer Server Configuration, then select File Server To Be Serviced.
7. Add the names of the other file servers that will be serviced by your FastPrint.
8. Reset the FastPrint.
4.6.3.4. Attach to more than one NetWare Print Server
Perform the following steps if you are running in NetWare Remote Printer mode and you
want each port of the FastPrint Server to be attached to a different NetWare Print Server.
1. Use PCONSOLE to create and assign the required printers and queues as detailed in
the Remote Printer Mode section.
2. Run PSCONFIG and select Set to NetWare Remote Printer Mode. Enter the correct
NetWare Print Server names in the Print Server name fields, and then select Execute
Setup.
4.6.3.5. Logical printers
You can use logical printers to create a “virtual” printer. For example, if you want to
create a landscape printer, you could define a logical printer with the following settings:
Pre-string
Printer control codes to switch the printer to Landscape
mode.
Post-string
Printer control codes to restore the printer’s default settings.
Another logical printer could be created to print Unix-format text files properly, by
converting Unix LF characters (Line Feeds) to DOS LF/CR (Line Feed, Carriage Return)
character pairs.
A FastPrint Server running in NetWare Print Server mode supports up to eight logical
printers.
4.6.3.5.1. Configuring NetWare
Use PCONSOLE to create new logical printers and to assign print queues to the printers.
Note: When you create a logical printer, be sure to select a printer number
greater than 7 from the Configured Printer listing.
In NetWare, all printer numbers greater than 7 are logical printers. This
