Configuration is now complete. You can now print using the printers attached to the
Print Server.
Windows for Workgroups
The Setup program installs the Pserver utility, which is used to configure and
manage the Print Server, printer and print jobs. It must be installed on all PCs
intending to print using the Print Server. Before printing, both Pserver and
Window Control Panel must be configured.
Pserver will transfer the print job through the network to the Print Server and then to
the printer. The process is as follows:
• A print queue is created for each port during configuration.
• When a user prints, the job is sent to Windows Print Manager.
• When Print Manager is finished spooling the print file, Pserver fetches the print
job and stores it in the appropriate queue, using a name generated by Pserver.
• Pserver sends the print job to the correct Print Server printer when the printer is
free.
Pserver Main Screen
Pserver must be loaded prior to printing via the Print Server. Therefore, it is
recommended that you add Pserver to the Windows Start Up group.
When started, the Pserver Status window will appear, and will list all connected
printers, and any print jobs in each printer’s queue. An example screen is shown
below.
