Novell Host Configuration
Under all versions of NetWare**, both PSERVER and RPRINTER setups
are supported by the Ethernet Interface. Since a PSERVER setup is the
most common, you will find the necessary steps to configure the Ethernet
Interface as a PSERVER shown first. Configuration for RPRINTER and
NPRINTER setup follow the PSERVER information.
NOTE: The Ethernet Interface can service up to four printers on one file
server. It can not service multiple file servers at one time.
