Step 2, option B: Setting up the printer as a remote printer (RPRINTER mode)

To configure your printer as a remote printer, you must use PCONSOLE to specify the print server that will provide service to your printer, create a print queue (if necessary), and associate a print queue with the print server. You must also use the Apple Printer Utility to set up the printer as a remote printer.

IMPORTANT The procedures in this section are specific for a version of PCONSOLE running under NetWare 4.02. If you are running PCONSOLE under NetWare 4.1 or NetWare 3.x, the menus and commands will differ slightly.
