CHAPTER 9 NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING

General Information

In order to use a Brother Print / Fax server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the Print / Fax server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate Print / Fax server) to the appropriate Brother Print / Fax server.

The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare 3), NDS (NetWare 3 and NetWare 4) based queues in a single environment without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin application.

NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin application.

You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin application.

If you can't use the BRAdmin application in your environment, you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSOLE utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use the Brother BRCONFIG utility, TELNET or a WWW browser to configure the Print / Fax server as described later in this chapter.

Brother Print / Fax servers can service up to 16 file servers and 32 queues.
