Introduction
!This section is for NetWare administrators with a basic knowledge of NetWare and its operating procedures. We suggest you read this in conjunction with the Novell NetWare Documentation.
This section contains instructions and information on how to configure your network print server in the NetWare environment.
There are three connection methods for Novell NetWare:
•Bindery
•Novell Directory Services (NDS)
•Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS)
To print using a Novell network environment, configure the NetWare server and thenetwork print server.
To make the configuration changes, you must have Administrator (NetWare 4.x and 5.x) and Supervisor (NetWare 3.x) authorization.
About NetWare
The network print server supports both NDS and Bindery printing. NDPS printing is supported in Novell’s gateway.
For printing using Novell Directory Services (NDS) or Bindery Connections, the network print server supports the following modes.
Print Server Mode
In print server mode:
1A print job is stored in a print queue on the file server.
2A printer running in print server mode directly accesses the print queue and takes the job.
3The printing process is performed immediately.
You do not need to have a print server on the file server.
Remote Printer Mode
In remote printer mode:
1A job is stored in a print queue on the file server.
2The print server (on the file server) takes the job, and
3Transfers it to the printer allocated to the print queue.
4The printer receives the job and the printing operation is performed.
