NIC Operating Modes with Novell NetWare

To service NetWare print queues, the NIC operates in the following two modes:

Remote printer mode or NPRINTER mode on NetWare 4.xx or RPRINTER mode on NetWare 2.xx or 3.xx networks.

In remote printer mode, the user sends the print job to the file server which then spools it to a print server and sends it to the printer. Remote printer mode does not use a user license on the file server. If you have NetWare 4.xx and need to take advantage of NetWare Directory Services, you must use remote printer mode.

Queue server mode also called printer server or PSERVER mode.

In queue server or print server mode, the NIC functions as a NetWare print server eliminating the need for a dedicated print server. Jobs from the a PC are spooled to the file server which in turn spools the job directly to the NIC. Queue server and print server mode, however, require a user slot on the file server.

NOTE: We recommend that you use queue server mode if you have NetWare2.xx or 3.xx unless you have a limited number of available user slots.

Configuring for a Novell NetWare Network

To use the NIC on a Novell network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the NIC can service. Users send their print requests to the file server’s print queue, and the jobs are then spooled to the NIC directly or through an intermediate print server in remote printer mode.
