NETGEAR PS100 manual Configuring the NetWare File Server, Configuring Your Print Server

NetGear Print Server Manual

-Connects to NetWare PSERVER

-Receives the print jobs sent by PSERVER

-Sends the received network packet data to the printer

It is a two-step process to set up the Model PS110/PS113 print server in the NetWare environment. The NetWare file server must first be configured, and then you can configure your print server.

Configuring the NetWare File Server

NetWare server configuration can be executed through the DOS-based PCONSOLE (NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x), NWADMIN (NetWare 4.x), or NWADMN32 (NetWare 5.x) based on Windows. All of these programs are provided as part of NetWare. Refer to the following sections for configuring the file server using PCONSOLE. For information about NWADMIN, refer to the NetWare user's manual.

The following sections describe how to determine a device name for your print server and set up the following three printing components on a Novell NetWare server:

•Print queue

•Print server

•Print

Configuring Your Print Server

There are two methods for configuring the print server in a NetWare environment: the NETGEAR Print Server Administration Program based on Windows, or the PSCONFIG program based on MS- DOS. Both programs are on the Model PS110/PS113 Print Server Resource CD that comes with your print server.

Additionally, you can also run the QUICKSET configuration program to configure the print server and the current Novell server in a single operation.

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions to set up the file server and the print server using PCONSOLE and PSCONFIG programs. For detailed descriptions on the various options of PSCONFIG, the NETGEAR Print Server Administration Program, and QUICKSET, refer to Chapter 8 “Using Advanced Management Tools.”

Determining a Device Name for Your Print Server

The Model PS110/PS113 print server is capable of servicing multiple protocols simultaneously. However, you must always use the same name for the print server when you are using more than one protocol. When the print server name is changed, the print operations in all protocols are affected; therefore, it is important that you decide on a permanent print server name before setting up the device. Also make sure that you decide on and assign a different name for each of the print servers on the network.
