Chapter 5 Novell Host Configuration
NetWare Version 4.x RPRINTER Setup
PrintNet can be configured to service both RPRINTER, NDS mode, and PSERVER, bindery mode.
Use the following procedure to set up an RPRINTER form of attachment on a 4.x server:
1.PrintNet requires a bindery server login on the 4.1x as the first step to servicing RPRINTER. This bindery login is necessary for registering the PrintNet Pserver name; no bindery queues or printers are setup. Using PCONSOLE, bindery mode, create a bindery printer server object whose name matches that of the PrintNet at the root context of the 4.1x box (i.e., M_03092B). After creating the bindery PrintServer on the 4.1x server, reboot PrintNet and use the debug Novell pserver command via a Telnet or npsh session, or print the
2.Using either PCONSOLE in NDS mode, or NWADMIN:
a.create an NDS queue (any name you want), or simply use an existing one;
b.create a print server to use (any valid name, or choose one already in existence);
c.create a printer object to use with the print server object you chose or created, and attach it to the chosen queue;
NOTE: The 4.1x queue name, print server name, and printer object don’t have to match any PrintNet name; multiple printers can be defined, but only one print server can be attached to.

NDS queue name: | Finance |
NDS print server name: | Fin_Q |
NDS printer name: | Fin_Prt_1 |
NDS printer name: | Accounting_Prt_1 |
