Use this chapter if you will be printing from a Novell NetWare Operating System.
This chapter is divided into the following sections: 

•  

 

describes how to configure the Print Server Card for use 

with Version 3.x.  Use PCONSOLE to set up the print server  function.

•  

 

describes how to configure the 

Print Server Card for use with Version 4.x  Bindery Services.  Use PCONSOLE to 
set up the print server function.

•  

 

 describes how to configure the Print 

Server Card for use with Version 4.x Directory Services. Use NWADMIN to set up 
the print server function.

•  

 

 describes the parameters accessible via 

MAP or an IP Browser used to configure the Print Server for NetWare. 

•  

 

explains how to use the PCONSOLE utility 

to make changes to the configuration of the Print Server function.

 

Before configuring NetWare, you must determine if the Print Server Card has its
desired name. You  may use MAP or IP browser to do this. 

Before you begin:

•  Verify that you have supervisor privileges on the file servers on which the Print 

Server Card print server is to be entered.

•  Verify that your version of PCONSOLE is later than 1.0.

When you are finished turn the printer off and on again. The printer creates a status
report that indicates the file server(s) to which the unit is attached and the queues
which it services.

 

Follow these steps to start PCONSOLE: 

1. Log in to the network, type 

 

 and press the return key.

2. Choose 

 

 from the 

 

 menu. A list of 

file servers is displayed.

3. Select the file server on which you want to install the print server and press the 

return key. If the name of the file server you want is not displayed, press the 

 

 key to get a list of file servers. 

4. Log in to the file server.

5. Press the 

 

 key to return to the Available Options menu.

 

The print server must be assigned to at least one print queue on the file server.

•   If the print queue that you want the print server card to service already exists, and 

you know the name of this queue, go to 

 

.  

•  If you do not know the name of the queue, or it does not exist, use the following pro-

cedure:

1. Choose 

 

from the 

 

 menu, and press 

the 

 

 key. A list of existing queues is displayed.

2. To create a new queue, press 

 

. Enter the name of the queue and press the 

 

 key. 

3. Press the 

 

 key to return to the

 

 menu.

 

NetWare Configuration-3

 

A print server takes the print jobs from queues and sends them to the printer. Use this
procedure to specify the name of the print server:

1. Choose 

 

from the 

 

 menu, and press

 

the 

Return key. A list of existing print servers is displayed.

2. Press the INSERT key. The New Print Server Name box is displayed.

Type the name of the print server into the entry box. The Novell print server name

is printed under Novell NetWare information on the status sheet. 

Note:

If desired, this name can be changed using MAP or Web Browser utilities. The

screen example shows how to enter the print server name for a print server with a

serial number of SHA_991354.

3. Press the RETURN key to add the print server name to the Print Servers list.

Use the following procedures to configure the Print Server's function:

1. Choose the print server name from the Print Servers list and press the Return

key. The Print Server Information menu appears.

2. Choose Print Server Configuration from the menu and press the Return key.

3. Choose Printer Configuration from the menu and press the Return key. The 

Configured Printers menu appears. Since this is a new Print Server entry, all 

printers are labeled "Not Installed".

4. Choose the printer and press the Return key. The Printer 0 Configuration screen 

appears with a title of Printer 0.

5. If you choose to, change default printer name to something that helps you identify 

the printer, for example, SHARP_PRINTER,  enter a name, and then press the 

Return key. The Printer Server uses this name in its message back to the users on 

the Notify list.

6. Select Type and press the Return key. A list of printer types is displayed. Choose 

Remote Other/Unknown and press the Return key. This creates default entries 

in the other fields. These defaults are usually optimal, so do not change them with-

out specific knowledge of the effects.

7. Press the ESC key. At the prompt, choose to save your changes.

8. Press the ESC key to return to the Print Server Configuration menu.

When you assign queues to the defined printer, you authorize the print server to ser-
vice these queues.

Note:

Do not assign the same queue to two different print servers. If a queue is assigned

to multiple print servers, print jobs may not go to the intended printer.

1. Choose Queues Serviced By Printer from the Print Server Configuration menu.

2. Select the printer name from the list of defined printers.

3. Press the RETURN key to display the Available Queues list for the printer.

4. Select the queue you want and then assign a priority level from 1 to 10. It is rec-

ommended that you accept the default priority level. Press the RETURN key. The 

queue appears on the list for the printer. 

Press the RETURN key again to assign additional queues.

5. When you finish assigning queues, press the ESC key and then save your 

changes. Continue to press the ESC key to return to the Print Server Configura-

tion menu. If you want to set Notify options, go to Section. 4.1.6. If you are fin-

ished, continue to press the ESC key and then save your changes.

To enable the print server to notify users or user groups if a problem occurs with the
printer, set up the Notify options. The print server supports the enhanced NOTIFY
options for printers, including informing users when the printer:
