6 Novell NetWare
A NetWare file server provides print spooling for clients so that
they can print over a network. The file server holds print jobs until
it is contacted by a print server on the network which in turn
sends the job to the appropriate printer. NetWare print servers
are typically special-purpose networking hardware such as the
Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC).
NOTE: It is assumed that network administrators are familiar with
setting up Novell NetWare systems and print queues using
appropriate utilities such as PConsole and NWAdmin.
This chapter provides details on selecting and configuring the
printer/NIC to service Novell queues.
Before You Begin
Before you begin the configuration for NetWare, make sure that
you have completed the following steps:
• Establish the NetWare queues and services before you
configure the printer ‘s network Interface to service them.
• Consult NetWare documentation for instructions on setting up
queues and services.
• Set up the printer. Refer to the QuickSetup card or the
Operator’s Guide which is included on the CD for instructions
on setting up your printer.
• Install the NIC in the printer and connect it to an Ethernet
network. Refer to “Installing the Hardware” for instructions on
installing and verifying the NIC and the network connection.
• Install printer software for Windows 95, Windows NT, or
Windows 3.11 on PCs that will be sending jobs to the
printer.This software is included on the CD that came with the
printer.
