DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
Queue to printer relationships
Novell NetWare allows for flexibility in setting up different printing configurations. Multiple queues and printers can be associated in different ways to meet different needs, such as the following:
•
•
•
•
One queue to one printer
Multiple queues to one printer
One queue to many printers
Multiple queues to multiple printers.
PCONSOLE
PCONSOLE is the main Novell utility used for creating, viewing and managing print queues. When you create a queue with PCONSOLE, the Novell software sets up the queue directory and a bindery entry. The bindery is the database of all users, groups, and other defined entities on the NetWare file server.
Note: There is no PCONSOLE access at the DocuPrint NPS printer controller.
You can perform the following tasks using PCONSOLE:
•
•
•
Add or remove the following:
—definitions of file servers serviced by the print server
—definitions of print queues serviced by the print server
—definitions of printers for a print server
—print servers
—users
—jobs to and from a queue
—queues
View or change job information
Check or change queue status.
A user or operator can change job values or delete a job while it is still in the Novell queue, and before DocuPrint NPS starts to receive it. If the user has deleted the job after DocuPrint NPS begins to receive it, DocuPrint receives the delete action and attempts to cancel the job. Cancellation may fail and the job will partially or completely print.
