NETWORK PRINTER MODE

Considerations and Limitations

The GL-1020 controller can function as either a NetWare Network Printer or a Print Server, but not both concurrently. Decide the preferred mode prior to setup. Consider the following issues before making your choice:

￿In an IP-only network environment, the GL-1020 cannot function as a Network Printer. It can function as a Novell NDPS Printer Agent if NDPS services have been configured and the TOSHIBA NDPS Gateway has been installed. IPX/ SPX is required to configure the GL-1020 as a Network Printer

￿As a Network Printer, the GL-1020 can support multiple print queues.

￿Running the GL-1020 as a Network Printer is not as fast or efficient as running it in Print Server mode.

Prerequisites

Use the NetWare management utility PCONSOLE (for NetWare 4.x bindery mode) or NWAdmin (NetWare 4.x, 5.x or 6.x NDS mode) to perform the following steps before enabling Novell print services from the copier control panel or TopAccess.

For more information, refer to your Novell NetWare documentation.

1Create a new Print Server (PSERVER) on the Novell file server. Note the print server name (e.g., GL_2_PS).

2Create a new print queue (e.g., GL_2_Q)

3Create a new printer for the GL-1020. Set the Printer Type to Other/Unknown and note the printer number.

4Assign the print queue to the printer on the NetWare file server.

5Assign the printer to the Print Server.

6Run PSERVER.NLM using the following syntax:

LOAD PSERVER <PSERVER_NAME>
