Configuring NetWare
To perform printing using a NetWare network, you need to configure the print service such as the print server and queue and the printer protocols.
|
IMPORTANT
|
About the print service settingsWhen specifying the print service settings using NetSpot Device Installer or NetWare Administrator, Novell Client (a NetWare client from Novell, Inc.) needs to be installed as a client software on the computer on which NetWare Administrator will run.
|
Types of the Print Service
Before configuring the print service, select the type of the print service referring to the following descriptions.
|
NOTE
|
About describing the print service in this manualUsually, select the print service of NDS for NetWare 4.x or later and the print service in Bindery Mode for NetWare 3.x. This manual does not describe the other settings.
About NDPSYou can also use NDPS as the print service on NetWare 5.x or later. When using NDPS, use Novell Printer Gateway supplied with NetWare as the gateway. This manual does not describe the procedure for setting NDPS. For the setting procedure, see the instruction manual of NetWare.
|
NDS (Novell Directory Services) and Bindery Mode
This printer supports both NDS and Bindery Mode. Select the appropriate mode for your network environment. If you are using NetWare 3.x, you can use only Bindery Mode.
Queue Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode
This printer supports both the Queue server mode and Remote Printer mode.
Queue Server Mode
 |
|
When using Queue Server Mode, you do not need any other hardware or software for the print server because this printer is provided with all the functions of the print server.
NDS Queue Server Mode (NDS PServer) uses a NDS print server for printing. Bindery Queue Server Mode (Bindery PServer) uses a Bindery print server for printing. Queue Server Mode requires one NetWare user license per printer. |
Remote Printer Mode
|
|
|
In Remote Printer Mode, this printer is controlled by a NetWare print server. Therefore, you need a NetWare print server other than this printer. NDS Remote Printer Mode (NPrinter) uses a NDS print server for printing. Bindery Remote Printer Mode (RPrinter) uses a Bindery print server for printing.
|
Configuring NetWare
If there is any operating system that supports NetSpot Device Installer on the network, configure the NetWare print server using NetSpot Device Installer.
If there is no operating system that supports NetSpot Device Installer on the network, configure the NetWare print server using NetWare Administrator or PCONSOLE.
If there is no operating system that supports NetSpot Device Installer on the network, configure the NetWare print server using NetWare Administrator or PCONSOLE.
Settings Using NetSpot Device Installer
