NetWare Configuration Chapter 4
You may use NWADMIN to configure the printer in NDS. Prior to
printing, NDS must be set up as follows and the NIC must be set up
with NDS Context and Tree. See Section 4.4. The steps below describe
the use of NWADMIN configuration to create printer, print server, and
print queue objects. Then, you will assign, or associate those objects
with each other. If you wish to keep Bindery resources on any server,
you can under NetWare 4.x if you declare a SET statement in your
AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
For those who prefer, NetWare does offer PCONSOLE as an
alternative to NWADMIN. PCONSOLE can be used to set up static
information about print servers such as: which queues to service, and
whom to notify in the event of a problem. See Novell NetWare
documentation for more information about the use of PCONSOLE for
NDS.

dows. The NetWare Administrator window wi ll appear. To bring
up your Directory Tree, open a Browser window by clicking on the
Tools menu item and, the Browse item.
2. Highlight the Organizational Unit or Organization where you want
to create the print service in the Directory Tree, select the Object
item from the main menu and choose Create...
Note
•If you wish, you can create objects another way in NWADMIN by:
selecting an Organizational Unit, clicking on the right mouse button
(which produces a pop-up menu), and clicking on Create... use the left
mouse button to bring up the New Object window). From this point,
the procedure continues as described.
