4.1.6Set Up Notify Options for the Printer (Optional)

To enable the print server to notify users or user groups if a problem occurs with the printer, set up the Notify options. The print server supports the enhanced NOTIFY options for printers, including informing users when the printer:

ŸIs the printer opened or off-line, paper jammed, or out of paper

ŸRequires a manual paper feed or a form change

ŸHas had an engine failure

2.Select the printer from the Defined Printers list.

The screen appears (which is blank for an initial installation).

3.Press the ENTER key to view a list of Notify Candidates.

4.Select the user or group from the list.

5.Set the First and Next intervals in the Notify Intervals screen.

4.1.7Installing the Print Server on Multiple File Servers

To install the print server on more than one file server, perform the procedures described in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.6 for each file server. You must use the same name and password for the print server (or no password) on all file servers. You set the password for the Network Interface Board using the MAP program (ð refer to 4.3 Configuring the Network Interface Board in NetWare Directory Services ). If you use a password, specify it on each file server using the Change Password option on the Print Server Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility.

When the Network Interface Board comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to the file servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks propagation delay. For extremely large or complex networks, this allows a bounded search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to file servers beyond this range, or, if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all file servers in the four hops/eight ticks radius, the file servers with which the print server is to operate may be entered into the Print Server Configuration of a primary file server. The primary file server can be any file server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates the primary file server and
