Novell PrintNet Configuration (10/100Base-T)
There are no mandatory Novell settings needed before the print server can be detected on the network. However, there can be some mandatory settings needed before a Novell print queue can be serviced by the PrintNet. These mandatory settings are covered separately for Netware 3.x and 4.x under the Host Configuration heading.
The print server setup in a Novell environment is much simpler than that required in a TCP/IP one. No addresses, masks, or router entries are necessary and in most cases, the PrintNet can simply be connected to the network, turned on, and then configured for printing from a Novell station through PCONSOLE or Netware Administrator. See Figure 15 for an example of a Novell network, showing the use of file servers and how they relate to the print server.
However, there are some optional parameters you may wish to change such as the preferred file server(s), print server password, polling time, frame type, print server name, NDS context, and NDS preferred tree. The following sections describe these optional parameters.
