NDS PSERVER Setup (Netware 4.x and 5.x)

Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T)

This section covers PSERVER and RPRINTER/NPRINTER setups on the

NIC. The NIC can handle up to eight RPRINTER/NPPRINTER setups.

Although the entire print setup is done through Netware Administrator or PCONSOLE, you may need to communicate directly with the print server in order to modify settings, monitor the unit, etc.

	For Netware 4.x environments, you can obtain a NWAdmn3x snap-in program
	called MPAdmin. This snap-in can be used to configure PSERVER setups as
	well as additional settings on the NIC.
Note	NWAdmn3x is only included with Netware 4.11 and higher releases. If you
	are using Netware 4.10, you can either upgrade to Netware 4.11 or go to
	Novell’s web site and get the patches to upgrade the Nwadmin program for
	Netware 4.10 to Nwadmn3x for Netware 4.11. Alternatively, you can
	perform the setup without using MPAdmin.

NDS PSERVER Setup (Netware 4.x and 5.x)

There are a number of ways to configure the NIC for use in a Novell NDS PSERVER setup. These include using the MPAdmin snap-in for Netware Administrator, using generic print server objects in Netware Administrator, or by using PCONSOLE. The following steps describe a setup using generic print server object in Netware Administrator. Setups using PCONSOLE are less common and will not be discussed.

To create a printer/print queue in an NDS environment using Netware Administrator print server objects, you need to complete the following steps:

1. Log in to NetWare Administrator as a user with security equal to “Admin” on your Novell host.

2. Click with the right mouse button on a branch in the tree that you would like to create a print queue object in.

3. Select “Create...” from the menu that pops up to bring up the “New Object” dialogue.

4. Select “Print Queue” from the “Class of new object” list, and then click “OK.”

5. Select “Directory Service Queue,” and type the name of the queue in the “Print Queue name” field.

6. Fill in the “Print Queue Volume” field by typing in a volume or browsing for one. Click “Create” when you are done.

7. Click with the right mouse button on a branch in the tree that you would like to create a printer object in.

8. Select “Create...” from the menu that pops up to bring up the “New Object” dialogue.

9. Select “Printer” from the “Class of new object” list, and then click “OK.”
