6 Novell NetWare

A NetWare file server provides print spooling for clients so that they can print over a network. The file server holds print jobs until it is contacted by a print server on the network which in turn sends the job to the appropriate printer. NetWare print servers are typically special-purpose networking hardware such as the Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC).

NOTE: It is assumed that network administrators are familiar with setting up Novell NetWare systems and print queues using appropriate utilities such as PConsole and NWAdmin.

This chapter provides details on selecting and configuring the printer/NIC to service Novell queues.
