NetWare

This chapter describes using your LevelOne Printer Server in the NetWare environment.

Overview

This section describes how the LevelOne Printer Server functions in the Novell NetWare environment.

The LevelOne Printer Server fully supports both Bindery and NDS Novell systems, and be configured as either a NetWare Printer Server or NetWare Remote Printer.

Novell Distributed Printing Services (NDPS) using TCP/IP under NetWare 5 is also supported. See page 44 for details.

Logical Printers (Ports)

Logical Printers can be used to create a “Virtual” printer. Single port models support 3 logical printers, while multi-port models support 8 logical printers.

The Logical Printers are named L1, L2, and L3; or L1 to L8 on multi-port models. The names can not be changed.

Configuring NetWare

PCONSOLE or NWAdmin must be used to create new (logical) printers and assign print queues to the printers. When creating logical printers, NetWare Printer 8 corresponds to Logical printer L1 on the LevelOne Printer Server, printer 9 to Logical printer L2, and so on up to printer 15 (logical printer L8).

Configuring the LevelOne Printer Server

The LevelOne Printer Server requires the following data, if logical printers are going to be used.

Physical Port
