When you use the network interface with Bindery (either in the Print Server mode or the Remote Printer mode), you need PCONSOLE.EXE to create bindery objects such as Print Server and Print Queue objects. Since PCONSOLE.EXE does not come with NetWare 5.x/6.0, you need to get the file from Novell.

Outline of settings

The followings are basic steps to use the network interface with the NDPS printing system. Detailed procedures are described in the subsequent sections.

1.Select the Connection Type and make the printer environment on the Server and Clients.

2.Create an NDPS Manager object in NetWare Administrator.

3.Create a Printer Agent in NetWare Administrator.

4.Configure the network interface using EpsonNet Config.

5.Set the printer on the client workstations.

The environment to use, the settings you make, and the tools to use differ depending on the printer type and connection type you choose. You can create an NDPS Manager and Printer Agent in NetWare Administrator or partially via the Server Console. See the Novell online documentation for more details.

Making printer environment

1.Select the Connection Type from the following: Remote (rprinter on IPX), Remote (LPR on IP), or Forward jobs to a Queue (via the current legacy queue-based print services).
