Using HTML Forms

Optional

Additional settings are available to fine-tune the NIC’s Novell functionality. These options include:

•NDS Context. The NDS context in which the print server object was created. This option is required if you create the print server object in a different context from the context the file server object for the file server that you logged in with is on.

•NDS Tree. The NDS tree the print server object was created in. This is only needed if your environment uses more than one NDS tree.

•Mode. The mode the NIC will run in. This can be either auto, bindery, or NDS. The default is auto so that the NIC can autosense which mode it should run in. See “NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x RPRINTER Setup” on page 213 for information on what to do when using both bindery and NDS file servers at the same time.

•Preferred File Server. In a bindery setup, this specifies the file server that the print server object was created on. In an NDS setup, this specifies a file server(s) that the print server object resides on. Since NDS is distributed, most administrators will not know which file server(s) the print server object is actually stored on, so in most NDS environments this option is not used.

See Chapter 12, “Novell Configuration For 10/100Base-T Interfaces” for additional information about these options.

Using HTML Forms

When defining a new print queue on a Novell file server, a new print server must be defined to represent the NIC. This name must match the pre-defined name given to the print server. By default, this name is in the format M_xxxxxx where xxxxxx equals the last six digits of the NIC address found on a configuration printout or control panel settings under Ethernet parameters, MAC Address (e.g., M_071C1A)

To use the HTML forms to define a print queue, do the following:

1.Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the print server over TCP/IP. The command to change the print server name is:

Syntax:

store pserver name newname

Example to change the name to micro1: store pserver name micro1

2.Direct your Web browser to URL

http://P5000LJIPaddress/adminConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/adminConf.html)
