Chapter 7 Novell Netware Printing

This chapter describes how to configure and use the NETGEAR Model PS110 Print Server, and Model

PS113 Print Server in the Novell NetWare environment.

7-1 Configuration Overview

This section describes the requirements and outlines the PSERVER or RPRINTER mode configuration

in either a NetWare Bindery or a NetWare Directory Services (NDS) network environment.

To configure your print server for the Novell NetWare environment, you must have:

• NetWare Version 3.1x, NetWare Version 4.x, or NetWare Version 5.x

• NetWare PCONSOLE V1.21 or higher installed in your network file server

• NetWare Print Server V1.22 or higher (for remote printer mode only)

• DOS 3.3 or higher installed on all of the workstations in your network

• Network installation completed

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 login slot.

The NETGEAR print server emulates a NetWare PSERVER.

- 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:
