Section 3
Setup for NetWare
The NPS 550 can run in either Print Server Mode, Remote Printer Mode or
both simultaneously. The basic configuration is done using the
PCONSOLE software supplied from Novell, and if you choose a setup
other than the automatic print server mode, also with AXCFG supplied
with the NPS 550.
The overview on the following pages explains the advantages and
limitations of each mode. Select the mode that best fits your needs, then
carry out the configuration as described later in this section.
Before configuring your NetWare system, you may want to configure the
NPS 550 (e.g. logical printer definitions). This is done using the AXCFG
software on the disk supplied with the NPS 550.
On the disk you will find a text file called read.me, containing installation
instructions for AXCFG in the Novell environment.
Before you begin:
Make sure that the NPS 550 is powered on and attached to the
network.
•You will need root privileges on the system.
Have the serial number found on the back of the NPS 550
available.
Any network configuration should always involve the network
manager.
If you use NetWare 4.0 or later, you must set up your file server for
bindery emulation by specifying the Bindery Context parameter. See
your Novell documentation for details.
