Auto PrintServer/Remote mode

In Auto PrintServer/Remote mode, the Ethernet Card provides automatic switching between print server and remote printer operation, depending on network conditions. If the Ethernet Card has the same name as the main Novell print server on your network, it detects the presence of the print server and operates as a remote printer. If your primary print server becomes unavailable, the Ethernet Card automatically switches modes to provide print server backup.

Each Ethernet Card, when running in print server mode, requires a connection to a file server. For more information about operating the Ethernet Card as a print server, see the following section.

As a remote printer, the Ethernet Card emulates a workstation running Novell’s RPRINTER program. For more information about this mode, see “Using the Ethernet Card as a Remote Printer.”
