Using the Ethernet Card in print server mode provides the
highest printing speed while retaining the control, security and
convenience of a Novell NetWare print server. Each Ethernet
Card, when running in print server mode, requires a connection
to a file server.
You can print to the Ethernet Card just as you would to any
other Novell print server, using NetWare print commands.
The Ethernet Card operates like any Novell print server;
servicing the assigned queues in a round robin fashion. In
queues of the same priority, the Ethernet Card services the first
job in a queue, then the first job in the next queue. In queues of
different priorities, the Ethernet Card services all jobs in a
higher priority queue before those in a lower priority queue.
The Ethernet Card supports encrypted passwords.
If desired, you can use Novell’s PCONSOLE to assign print server
operator status, and then use Print Server Status/Control to
configure the Ethernet Card temporarily (without rebooting) and
to monitor and control printer status on-the-fly For more
information about configuring the Ethernet Card with Print
Server Status/Control, see Chapter 3.
Using the Ethernet Card as a Remote Printer
As a remote printer, the Ethernet Card emulates a workstation
running Novell’s RPRINTER.EXE program, and operates under
the control of a Novell NetWare print server. The print server
can be either a dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE
or a file server.
In remote printer mode, when the Ethernet Card-equipped
printer is ready the Novell print server moves the job from the
print queue to the the Ethernet Card remote printer.
