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.

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.
