Creating a print server

It is also the default print server name.

2

Type

SET BINDERY CONTEXT

at the NetWare file server’s console prompt to

ensure that the context has been set.

Be sure to write the context down, as it will be needed later.

3

Log in to the NetWare file server from a DOS client using the Admin account.

4

At the DOS prompt, type

PCONSOLE

and press Enter.

5

Use the arrow keys to highlight Change Context in the menu, and press Enter.

6

Change the PCONSOLE utility’s context to match the context set on the server (what you

wrote down earlier), by pressing the Ins key, and selecting the correct context.

7

Use the arrow keys to highlight Print Servers in the menu, and press Enter.

8

Press the Ins key, then type the NetWare Printer Name (provided on the printer’s startup

page), and press Enter.

The print server is created.
