Basic Queue-based printing over IP

Installing the

Axis Network Print

Server

Axis print servers with software version 6.0 or later allow users to print in a Pure IP environment using traditional queue-based printing (which usually uses the IPX transport protocol). Note that only NDS queue-based printing is supported.

In the NetWare Pure IP environment, you must use the NetWare Administrator to create the printer, print server and queue objects.

Follow the instructions below to install the Axis Network Print Server in the NetWare Pure IP environment:

1.Start the Configuration Wizard from the User mode in the Axis Network Print Server Web interface.

2.Click your way through the Wizard until reaching the NetWare page.

3.Set the parameters on the NetWare page:

•PSERVER NDS Tree (example: NW5TREE) or

PSERVER NDS File Server: (example: FILESERVERNAME)

•PSERVER NDS Distinguished Name:

(example: AXISXXXXXX.<context>, where <context> is the container where you want to create your print server)

Setting the PSERVER parameters in the Axis Network Print Server Web interface.

4.Use the NetWare Administrator to create the printer, print server and queue objects in the NDS tree and then link them together. The Print Services Quick Setup (Non-NDPS) utility can be used for this. Go to Tools in the NetWare Administrator.
