Configuring for Queue Server Mode using PCONSOLE
and XConfig
The following steps describe how to use the standard Novell
PCONSOLE utility with XCONFIG to set up your print queues.
PConsole
1. Log in as Supervisor for Netware 3.xx or as ADMIN for
NetWare 4.xx. Make sure that you specify the /b option for
bindery mode.
2. Run the PCONSOLE utility from your PC workstation.
3. Select Print Servers from the available Options menu.
4. To create a new print server, enter the NIC Netware service
name. The default name is KOD_xxxxxx. The xxxxxx is the
last 6 digits of the Ethernet address. Press ENTER.
5. Create a new queue on the file server. Enter the new queue
name, and press ENTER.
NOTE: The name does not need to be related to the name of the
NIC print server resources, but it should be short and
convenient for users to remember.
6. Configure the queue by selecting Print or Queue Servers and
specify which network print servers can print jobs from this
print queue.
7. Select the NIC NetWare service name to add it to the list.
8. Exit PCONSOLE.
9. To force the NIC to rescan the file servers for print jobs, turn
the printer off and then on.
NOTE: You may also use the XConfig command SET NETWARE
RESCAN to force the NIC to rescan for file servers.
