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 software.
•NWADMIN
• PCONSOLE
(from Novell, provided with NetWare) Important
• If you use NWADMIN to configure the print service settings, Novell Client (the Novell NetWare client soft-
ware) must be installed as the client software application.
• NetWare networking is unsupported in Windows Vista.
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. 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 included with 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 Network Setting

							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 re-
quired.  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. 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 server name 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.

print  server  name  will  be  required  when  configuring  the  printer's  protocol  settings.  Write  down
the print server name for future reference.
4. Specify the printer type.
1. To 

use  the  printer  in  queue  server  mode,  choose  Other/Unknown  in Type.  To  use  remote  printer  mode,  set
Printer Type  to Parallel and Position to  Manual Load.
2. Press the Esc key.
3. After the confirmation message is displayed, choose  Yes and press the Enter key.

To print over a NetWare network, configure the network environment as follows. Important
• To 
configure  network  settings,  you  must  be  logged  in  with  administrative  rights  such  as  Administrator  ac-
count. We recommend that your network administrator configure the network settings.
1. Specify the Ethernet frame type for communication between the printer and computers.
For instructions,  see "Specifying the Printer's Frame Type." →P.785
2. Specify the NetWare print services, including the print server and queue.
For instructions, see "Specifying NetWare Print Services ." →P.787

NetWare  client  software  on  each  computer  to  be  used  for  printing  over  the  network,  and  log  in  to  the  Net-
Ware server or tree. For instructions on connection, refer to the NetWare and operating system documentation.
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  destination
