Remote printer mode
As a remote printer, the Ethernet Card emulates a workstation
running Novell’s RPRINTER program, and operates under the
control of a Novel NetWare print server. The print server can be
either a dedicated workstation running PSERVER or a file server.
At power-up, the interface will attempt to attach to a print server
(elsewhere on the network) and act as a particular printer of that
print server. To do this, it needs to know which print server to
attach to, and which printer of that print server to use. This is
similar to the need to specify these parameters in the RPRINTER
command line (or to interactively choose them from the
RPRINTER program).
You can set up these parameters on the Ethernet Card with the
EPSON Net! utility. Once the interface card is set up, it will store
these settings, which means that you will normally only need to
do this once at the time of installation. However, as with all Novell
remote printers, the card’s print speed is slower in remote printer
mode than in print server mode.
The main advantage of remote printer mode is that connection to a
file server is not required, making this mode desirable in
installations with limited available file server connections. Each
NetWare print server can support up to 16 printers and requires
only one file server connection.
