Chapter 7 Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T)

In NDS, a printer object can only be attached to one print server object at a given time, because Novell uses the printer object to represent a physical printer. A physical printer can only be attached to one parallel or serial port at a time. Thus, if you assign a printer object to another print server object, the new print server object will take it from the old one (this also happens with non-NIC print server objects).

To properly process print jobs sent to the NIC, the printer object created in Novell must refer to the destination on this server and not to the actual physical printer. On the NIC, print jobs must pass through an extra layer (a “destination”) before being sent on to the printer.

If you are using multiple print servers, you will have to either rename all your destinations to ensure that no printer object names conflict or keep all the printer objects for one print server in a different context than those for the other print server.
