Novell PrintNet Configuration
Mandatory
Under all Novell environments, the PrintNet does not require any network
settings to make it visible on the network. Simply plug it in to your network
and power it on. However, with a new print queue setup on a Novell file
server, there can be some mandatory settings needed on the PrintNet.
Optional
Additional settings are available to fine-tune the PrintNet’s Novell
functionality. These options include:
• NDS Context. The NDS context in which the print server object was
created. This option is required if you create the print server object in
a different context from the context the file server object for the file
server that you logged in with is on.
• NDS Tree. The NDS tree the print server object was created in. This
is only needed if your environment uses more than one NDS tree.
• Mode. The mode the PrintNet will run in. This can be either auto,
bindery, or NDS. The default is auto so that the PrintNet can
autosense which mode it should run in. See “NetWare Version 4.x
RPRINTER Setup” on page 86 for information on what to do when
using both bindery and NDS file servers at the same time.
• Preferred File Server. In a bindery setup, this specifies the file
server that the print server object was created on. In an NDS setup,
this specifies a file server(s) that the print server object resides on.
Since NDS is distributed, most administrators will not know which file
server(s) the print server object is actually stored on, so in most NDS
environments this option is not used.
For additional information about these options, see Chapter 6, “Novell
Configuration for 10/100Base-T Interfaces”.
