NetWare Configuration-17

NWADMIN configuration is complete. Before you can begin printing, though, be sure
to set up and reset (power cycle) the printer.

The MAP utility or an IP Web Browser must used to define the context and tree of the
Print Server. It is also used to change the Print Server name, set a password, modify
scan and frame search parameters, and set up bindery-mode specific values. 

Use the MAP utility or IP Web Browser (refer to Chapter 3) to access the print
server’s configuration pages. 

1. In the Network Administration menu, select Setup NetWare.

2. Select Enable NetWare. If it is not selected, the NetWare protocols will not come 

up, the Print Server card will not appear as an advertised device, and the NIC will 

not be accessible using IPX SNMP.

3. The default name for the NetWare Print Server is SHA_123456, where SHA is a 

three character sequence identifying the manufacturer, and 123456 is the serial 

number of the Print Server Card. This is also the default name of the printer in 

peer-to-peer mode. If you want to change the default Print Server name, type the 

new name in the Print Server Name field. Leave the space blank if the default 

name is to be used.

4. If you want the Print Server Card to login with a password, this password may be 

entered in the Print Server Password field, and again in the Password Retype 

field. If a password is used, this password must be the same password for all bind-

ery-based and NDS-based Print Server entries.

5. Enter the name of a preferred bindery-based file server in the Preferred File 

Server field. The Preferred File Server entry is significant only for bindery or 

bindery emulation based operations. Refer to 4.1.9 Preferred File Servers for the 

significance of a Preferred File Server. The Print Server must be configures on the 

preferred file server. Incorrect setup of a Preferred File Server can interfere with 

NetWare printing.

6. If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Services, type in a 

Context entry and Preferred NDS Tree entry in the appropriate fields. Be sure to 

give the whole context, whether typed or typeless, and do not begin your context 

path with a trailing period (.). If you don't know your tree, type: whoami at the 

DOS command line. A typed context name example is:

7. In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is to service once 

per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you may enter the time between scans 

in seconds in the Print Queue Scan Rate field.

8. The Print Server Card will normally monitor the network to determine which 

frame type is being used for Novell. When it recognizes a type, it will assume the 

same frame type. Once it selects a frame type, the Print Server Card will only 

operate over that Novell frame type. Monitoring normally starts looking for IEEE 

802.3, then Ethernet II, then 802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple 

frame types for Novell, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by 

setting the button next to the designation under Ethernet Frame Type.

9. You can Disable Bindery mode on the Print Server if  are operating in NDS mode 

only. To do so, click on that box. If you disable Bindery, the Print Server Card will 

not support Print Servers on a Bindery file server.

10. Once all appropriate settings and NetWare information has been entered, if neces-

sary,  enter the Print Server Card Management Password, then click on Accept 

Settings. Selecting Accept Settings will store the setting in the Print Server Card’s 

NVRAM.

11. The values just entered will not take effect until the Print Server Card is reset or 

power cycled. To reset  the Print Server Card from MAP or the Web Browser, 

return to the Network Administration page,  then click on Reset under System.  

Alternatively, you may power cycle the printer. The new NetWare values should 

now be in effect.

NetWare Configuration-19

This section explains how to use the PCONSOLE utility to perform the following
tasks on a 4.x Novell NetWare server in Bindery Mode:

•  Attach and select a file server

•  Select or delete queues for the print server

•  Set-up the Notify function

See the NetWare Print Server Manual for additional information on this utility.

Note:  You must have Administrator level privileges to perform many PCONSOLE opera-

tions.

Use the following procedures to change the current file server or attach to additional
file servers:

1. Start the PCONSOLE utility.

2. Select Change NetWare Server from the Available Options menu.

3. Press the Insert key to display the available file servers.

4. Select the file server you want as the current one and press the Return key.

5. Enter your username and press the Return key. If the username requires a pass-

word, the Password screen is displayed. Enter the password and press the Return 

key.

6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to attach to additional servers.

When you print a file, your system sends the file to a print queue. The print server
assigned to that queue extracts the print job and sends it to the assigned printer. If a
print server is servicing queues on multiple file servers, you must assign queues to the
printer on each file server. To change the print queues, use the following procedures:

1. Start the PCONSOLE utility.

2. Select Print Servers from the Available Options menu.

3. Select the print server from the Print Servers list.

4. Select Printers from Print Server Information menu.

5. Select a printer from the Defined Printers list.

6. Select 

Print Queues Assigned.

7. Press Return key to display a list of currently assigned print queues.

8. Press the Insert key to display a list of available print queues.

9. Select a queue from the list and press the Return key.

10. The highest priority queue is 1; 10 is the last. To change the priority of a queue, 

type in the new value (1 to 10), then press the Return key.  at the File Server/

Queue/Priority screen to display the Priority setting screen. 

11. Repeat steps 7, 8, and 9 to assign additional queues to the printer.

When finished assigning queues, press the ESC key to return to the Available Options 
menu.

You can specify users or groups of users that are notified if a problem occurs when a
print job is sent to the printer. If the print server is servicing queues on multiple file
servers, you must set up a NOTIFY list for each file server. To set up NOTIFY, use the
following procedures:

1. Start the PCONSOLE utility.

2. Select Print Servers from the Available Options menu.

3. Select the print server from the Print Servers list.

4. Select Printers from the Print Server Information menu.

5. Select the printer from the Defined Printers menu.

6. Select Notification. The current notification list is displayed.

7. Press the Insert key. The Notify Candidates screen appears.

8. Select the user or user group from the Notify Candidates screen, and press the 

Return key. The Notify Intervals screen is displayed.
