Chapter 6 Novell PrintNet Configuration (10/100Base-T)

Novell PrintNet Configuration (10/100Base-T)
There are no mandatory Novell settings needed before the print server
can be detected on the network. However, there can be some mandatory
settings needed before a Novell print queue can be serviced by the
PrintNet. These mandatory settings are covered separately for Netware
3.x and 4.x under the Host Configuration heading.
The print server setup in a Novell environment is much simpler than that
required in a TCP/IP one. No addresses, masks, or router entries are
necessary and in most cases, the PrintNet can simply be connected to
the network, turned on, and then configured for printing from a Novell
station through PCONSOLE or Netware Administrator. See Figure 15 for
an example of a Novell network, showing the use of file servers and how
they relate to the print server.
However, there are some optional parameters you may wish to change
such as the preferred file server(s), print server password, polling time,
frame type, print server name, NDS context, and NDS preferred tree. The
following sections describe these optional parameters.
