Under all versions of NetWare, both PSERVER and RPRINTER setups are supported by the NIC. Since a PSERVER setup is the most common, you will find the necessary steps to configure the NIC as a PSERVER shown first.

Configuration for RPRINTER and NPRINTER setup follow the PSERVER information.

Note

The NIC can service up to four printers on one file server. It can not service

 

multiple file servers at one time.
