3. Configuration

This chapter describes how the PrintServer may be subject to a more advanced configuration using the supported setup facilities (see below). However, with a minimum configuration of the selected protocol, the PrintServer is ready for operation. For details on operation based on default settings, see below.

3.1 Introduction to configuration

When installing your PrintServer, first of all you must configure the protocol needed in order for the system to be able to communicate with your PrintServer.

Thus, you should ensure that the protocol you want to use for printing has been enabled on the PrintServer. For example, if you wish to print from Novell you need to enable the IPX/SPX protocol and configure it and if you need to print SNA print from a host, you should enable the PU/LU protocol and configure it. These two protocols are not enabled by default in the product. This configuration is carried out in PSinst32 or using one of the following tools:

⇒Web Browser

⇒Telnet

⇒Configuration file

⇒BOOTP server

See the section on “Minimum Configuration” for more details on minimum setup via each tool.

When you are sure that you have configured the PrintServer according to your specific needs (see this chapter: chapter 3), you will have to make the needed definition on the system in order to be able to send print to the PrintServer. For this you proceed to the chapters 4-17.
