For instructions, see "Specifying NetWare Print Services ." →P.689 3 Specify NetWare protocol details besides the frame type. For details on how to configure the settings, see "Configuring the Printer's NetWare Network Settings With Re- moteUI ." →P.691 After you have completed the steps above, configure each computer for printing over the NetWare network. 4 Connect to the NetWare network. Install NetWare client software on each computer to be used for printing over the network, and log in to the NetWare server or tree. For instructions on connection, refer to the NetWare and operating system documenta- tion. 5 Install the printer driver. Follow the instructions of your network administrator to install the printer driver on each computer to be used for printing. When installing the printer driver, choose Network Printer as the printer destination, and then choose the print queue created from the NetWare print service settings. 6 Follow these steps to configure the printer port. This step is not necessary if you specified the printer destina- tion during installation of the printer driver. 1. Open the Devices and Printers window. 2. Right-click the icon of this printer and choose Printer Properties to open the printer properties window. 3. Click the Port (or Advanced ) tab to display the Port (or Advanced ) sheet. 4.

Specifying NetWare Print Services Specifying NetWare Print Services Before printing in a NetWare network, you must configure print services such as print servers, print queues, and so on. You can configure the print service settings from a computer using any of the following Novell software provided with NetWare. • NWADMIN • PCONSOLE Important•If you use NWADMIN to configure the print service settings, Novell Client (the Novell NetWare client software) must be instal-led as the client software application.•NetWare networking is unsupported in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7. This topic gives instructions for configuring NetWare print services. The order of this procedure may vary depending on the environment. Choosing the type of print services Before completing print service settings, choose the type of print service. Refer to the following descriptions as needed. iPF6400 Specifying NetWare Print ServicesUser's Guide Network Setting NetWare Settings 689
Note •In NetWare 5.1 or 6.0, NDPS may also be used as the print service. If you use NDPS, use the Novell printer gateway includedwith NetWare. For details on configuring NDPS, refer to the NetWare documentation.• NDS (Novell Directory Service) and bindery NDS and bindery are both supported. Use the mode that is compatible with your network environment. • Queue server mode and remote printer mode Queue server mode and remote printer mode are both supported. • Queue server mode When using queue server mode, all print server functions are supported, so there is no need for other print server software or hardware. In NDS queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for printing. In bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the bindery print server is used for printing. Note that if you use queue server mode, a NetWare user license is required for each network interface. • Remote printer mode In remote printer mode, the printer is controlled by the NetWare print server. Thus, a NetWare print server is required. In NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), the NDS print server is used for printing, and in bindery re- mote printer mode (RPrinter), the bindery print server is used for printing. Using NWADMIN or PCONSOLE to set up the print server Use NWADMIN to set up the print server if NDS queue server mode or remote printer mode is used. 1 Log into NetWare as Administrator or with equivalent rights, and then start NWADMIN. 2 Run Quick Setup. 1. Choose Print Services Quick Setup in the Tools menu. 2. Enter a desired name in Print Server Name. To use an existing print server, click the button at right and choose the name from the list. 3. Enter a desired printer name in Name. 4. To use the printer in queue server mode, choose Other/Unknown in Type . To use the printer in remote printer mode, choose Parallel in Type , click Communications , and set Ports to LPT1 and Connection Type to Manual Load . 5. Enter a desired queue name in Name. 6. In Volume , enter the volume object (that is, the object representing the physical volume on the network) where the print queue will be created. Click the button at right to choose from a list. 7. Complete other settings as needed and click OK. Note •The print server name will be required when configuring the printer's protocol settings. Write down the print servername for future reference.•When running Quick Setup, the printer is assigned printer number 0. When using the printer in queue server mode,do not change the printer number from 0.3 Set a password. 1. Right-click the print server created in step 2 and choose Details. 2. Click Change Password to open the password input dialog box. Enter the password. 3. Click OK to close the password input dialog box. 4. Click OK or Cancel to close the details dialog box.
