Specifying NetWare Print Services

Before printing in a NetWare network, you must congure print services such as print servers, print queues, and so on. You can congure the print service settings from a computer using any of the following software.

•NWADMIN

•PCONSOLE

(from Novell, provided with NetWare)

Important

•If you use NWADMIN to congure the print service settings, Novell Client (the Novell NetWare client software) must be installed as the client software application.

•NetWare networking is unsupported in Windows Vista.

This topic gives instructions for conguring NetWare print services. The order of this procedure may vary depending on the environment.

Choosing the type of print services

Before completing print service settings, choose the type of print service. Refer to the following descriptions as needed.

Note

•In NetWare 5.1/6.0/6.5, NDPS may also be used as the print service. If you use NDPS, use the Novell printer gateway included with NetWare. For details on conguring NDPS, refer to the NetWare documentation.

•NDS (Novell Directory Service) and Bindery

NDS and bindery are both supported. Use the mode that is compatible with your network environment.

•Queue Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode

Queue server mode and remote printer mode are both supported.

•Queue Server Mode

When using queue server mode, all print server functions are supported, so there is no need for other print server software or hardware. In NDS queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for printing. In bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the bindery print server is used for printing. Note that if you use queue server mode, a NetWare user license is required for each network interface.

•Remote Printer Mode

In remote printer mode, the printer is controlled by the NetWare print server. Thus, a NetWare print server is required. In NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), the NDS print server is used for printing, and in bindery remote printer mode (RPrinter), the bindery print server is used for printing.
