Novell NetWare Printing

The following two operating modes are possible in bindery (NetWare 3.x), NDS network

environment (NetWare 4.x), or NDPS (NetWare 5.x):

•

PSERVER mode

PSERVER mode is faster and uses fewer resources than RPRINTER mode but occupies a user

When activated, the device:

–

Logs in to specified NetWare file server(s)

–

Polls the specified print queues

If there are print jobs in the print queue, the print server retrieves them from the print

queue.

–

Sends the received network packet data to the printer

•

RPRINTER mode

RPRINTER mode does not use a login slot. NETGEAR recommends that PSERVER mode be

used if possible. The print server emulates a NetWare Remote Printer.

When activated, the device:

–

Connects to NetWare PSERVER

–

Receives the print jobs sent by PSERVER

–

Sends the received network packet data to the printer

It is a two-step process to set up the Model PS104/PS105/PS110 print server in the NetWare

environment. The NetWare file server must first be configured, and then you can configure your

print server.

Configuring the NetWare File Server

NetWare server configuration can be executed through the DOS-based PCONSOLE (NetWare 3.x

and NetWare 4.x), NWADMIN (NetWare 4.x), or NWADMN32 (NetWare 5.x) based on Windows.

All of these programs are provided as part of NetWare. Refer to the following sections for

configuring the file server using PCONSOLE. For information about NWADMIN, refer to the

NetWare user’s manual.
