Kodak 3H0610 manual Novell NetWare AppleTalk, Configuring Novell NetWare 3.x for AppleTalk

Novell NetWare

6.Once it locates a Bindery Þle server, the NIC looks in its preferred server for an NVRAM value, and if a value exists, routes itself to that server.

7.The NIC then looks on the preferred server for a print server queue in the form of KDxxxxxx.

8.The NIC then reads the print server queueÕs conÞguration Þle and logs in and attaches to the queues and servers listed in that conÞguration Þle.

9.If a preferred server was not speciÞed in its NVRAM, the NIC searches up to 24 Þle servers on the network for a print queue.

10.If a print queue is not found, the NIC goes back periodically through the list of servers and try to blindly log in as print server KDxxxxxx. If successful, it gets the list of queues that the NIC should service and attaches to those queues.

4.5Novell NetWare - AppleTalk

If AppleTalk Print Services (ATPS) for Novell is not already in use, consult the Novell CD-ROM on-line documentation to set up and use ATPS. To use ATPS for the Kodak printer, an ATPS.CFG Þle must be edited appropriately to deÞne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding zone.

Note: AppleTalk for Novell recognizes the printer only when it is in PostScript mode. Raster mode cannot be accommodated. You must set up an IPX queue to support both PostScript and raster modes. Only Macintosh systems can print in raster mode using AppleTalk.

4.5.1Configuring Novell NetWare 3.x for AppleTalk

To use ATPS for Novell, an atps.cfg Þle must be edited appropriately to deÞne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding zone.

Note: You cannot print in raster mode using ATPS.

The following procedure describes how to conÞgure Novell ATPS to service the printer and the queue. In this example, the printer is a Kodak printer with a default name of Kodak Digital Scienceª 8650 PS.

1. Make a test print to obtain or verify the printerÕs name.
