NDS PSERVER Setup (Netware 4.x)
207
Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T)
This section covers PSERVER and RPRINTER/NPRINTER setups on the
LineJet Print Server. The LineJet Print Server can handle up to eight
RPRINTER/NPPRINTER setups.
Although the entire print setup is done through Netware Administrator or
PCONSOLE, you may need to communicate directly with the print server in
order to modify settings, monitor the unit, etc.
For Netware 4.x environments, you can obtain a NWAdmn3x snap-in program
called MPAdmin. This snap-in can be used to configure PSERVER setups as
well as additional settings on the LineJet Print Server.
NDS PSERVER Setup (Netware 4.x)
There are a number of ways to configure the LineJet Print Server for use in a
Novell NDS PSERVER setup. These include using the MPAdmin snap-in for
Netware Administrator, using generic print server objects in Netware
Administrator, or by using PCONSOLE. The following steps describe a setup
using generic print server object in Netware Administrator. Setups using
PCONSOLE are less common and will not be discussed.
To create a printer/print queue in an NDS environment using Netware
Administrator print server objects, you will need to complete the following
steps:
1. Log in to NetWare Administrator as a user with security equal to “Admin”
on your Novell host.
2. Click with the right mouse button on a branch in the tree that you would
like to create a print queue object in.
3. Select “Create...” from the menu that pops up to bring up the “New
Object” dialogue.
4. Select “Print Queue” from the “Class of new object” list, and then click on
“OK.”
5. Select “Directory Service Queue,” and type the name of the queue into
the “Print Queue name” field.
6. Fill in the “Print Queue Volume” field by typing in a volume or browsing for
one. Click on “Create” when you are done.
7. Click with the right mouse button on a branch in the tree that you would
like to create a printer object in.
8. Select “Create...” from the menu that pops up to bring up the “New
Object” dialogue.
9. Select “Printer” from the “Class of new object” list, and then click on “OK.”
Note NWAdmn3x is only included with Netware 4.11 and higher releases. If you
are using Netware 4.10, you can either upgrade to Netware 4.11 or go to
Novell’s web site and get the patches to upgrade the Nwadmin program for
Netware 4.10 to Nwadmn3x for Netware 4.11. Alternatively, you can
perform the setup without using MPAdmin.
