Initial Novell NetWare 4.1 setup

NetWare 4.1 introduces the concept of a hierarchical tree database, called
NetWare Directory Services (NDS). NDS is different from the flat file
database called the bindery used in earlier versions of NetWare. The printer
does not support NDS. A NetWare command, SET BINDERY CONTEXT,
allows a single level of the NDS directory tree to be specified as a virtual
bindery location. Each time you use the NetWare 4.1 file server, set the file
server’s bindery context by typing

SET BINDERY CONTEXT

at the

console prompt.

The superuser account name also changes with NetWare 4.xx to Admin from
NetWare 3.xx’s name of Supervisor. The Supervisor account still exists in
NetWare 4.xx for backward compatibility, but it can’t actually be seen in the
NDS directory tree. The Admin account gives you full access to the entire
NetWare Directory Services tree. The Supervisor account only lets you see
objects that are in its bindery context location in the tree. When following the
steps below for setting up your printer on NetWare 4.1 as PSERVER, always
use the NetWare Admin account.

Make sure that the NetWare network is set up and operating according to the
instructions in the Novell NetWare documentation.

You should have access to the NetWare Printer Console utility, PCONSOLE,
on the computer from which you will be setting up the printer and have the
administrative privileges necessary to make changes to the network.
