Bindery Reference Queues

Novell suggests that you upgrade all of your printers to NDPS as soon as possible. However, you may still want to provide your users with access to queue-based printing resources for a variety of reasons. While connect- ing to queue-based printers controlled by NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 serv- ers in the current NDS tree can be accomplished directly when you configure a Printer Agent, you may need to create one or more “bindery reference queues” to provide access to printers controlled by a NetWare 3 file server or printers controlled by a NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 server in a different NDS tree.

A bindery reference queue serves as a pointer to a real NetWare queue on both types of servers. After you have created a bindery reference queue to point to a real bindery queue on a target server, you can then configure a Printer Agent to send jobs to that queue just as you would if the queue actually resided on a NetWare 4.x or NetWare 5.x server in the same tree. The following section explains how to accomplish this proce- dure using NetWare Administrator.

Note

If a bindery reference queue already exists, you can use it with NDPS with no modification. A new reference queue object does not need to be created in NDS.

Configuring Bindery Reference Queues

Prerequisites

Before you can create a bindery reference queue, the following require- ments must be met:

The print queue you want to reference must already exist on the server you want to point to.

A bindery object of the same name as the one you are using must exist on that server and must have rights to the print queue you are refer- encing.

1In NetWare Administrator, select the container where you want the ref- erence queue to reside.

2Choose Object Create.

This causes the New Object dialog box to appear.

3Select Print Queue.

This causes the Create Print Queue dialog box to appear.
