Specifying NetWare Print Services
Before printing in a NetWare network, you must congure print services such as print servers, print queues,
and so on. You can congure the print service settings from a computer using any of the following software.
•
NWADMIN
•
PCONSOLE
(from Novell, provided with NetWare)
Important
•
If you use NWADMIN to congure the print service settings, Novell Client (the Novell NetWare client
software) must be installed as the client software application.
•
NetWare networking is unsupported in Windows Vista.
This topic gives instructions for conguring 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.
Note
•
In NetWare 5.1/6.0/6.5, NDPS may also be used as the print service. If you use NDPS, use the
Novell printer gateway included with NetWare. For details on conguring 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 remote printer mode (RPrinter), the bindery print server is used for printing.
