55-1 GA-1040 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

Chapter 5: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share printing to the GA-1040. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the GA-1040. In addition, it includes some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the requirements for network clients to print to the GA-1040 and to run the Fiery utilities and the Fiery WebTools.

The GA-1040 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0 workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0 environment (see “GA-1040 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0” on page 5-10).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, proceed to page 5-10.

GA-1040 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

The GA-1040 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the GA-1040 takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services), using the Novell Gateway version 2.0.3 or later and Support Pack version 3.0 or later. For IPX printing, the GA-1040 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “GA-1040 on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network” on page 5-4.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

NDPS is not like the earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer
