22-9 GA-1120 on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the GA-1120 is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network.

The GA-1120 with IPX connections has the following characteristics:

•A minimum connection to the GA-1120 consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue. Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also supported through bindly emulation.

•A single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers can be configured simultaneously.

•The GA-1120 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

•Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the GA-1120.

Overview of IPX printing to the GA-1120

NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation.

You must give the NetWare queue names a specific extension corresponding to the GA-1120 print connection, as follows:

_print _hold _direct

NOTE: These extension names must be in English and in all lowercase letters.
