Step 2, option B: Setting up the printer as a remote printer
(RPRINTER mode)
To configure your printer as a remote printer, you must use PCONSOLE to
specify the print server that will provide service to your printer, create a print
queue (if necessary), and associate a print queue with the print server. You
must also use the Apple Printer Utility to set up the printer as a remote
printer.
IMPORTANT
The procedures in this section are specific for a version of
PCONSOLE running under NetWare 4.02. If you are running PCONSOLE
under NetWare 4.1 or NetWare 3.x, the menus and commands will differ
slightly.
