Print Server Name
Each Novell print server has its own assigned name. A default name in the form of KC******(last 6 let-
ters of the MAC address), is used. If you want to use a name other than the default name or if you want
to change the currently assigned name, you may type a new print server name into this field. The max-
imum length of this name is 63 characters, typed in half size. If you change the print server name, it is
imperative that you also enter the identical new name on PCONSOLE as well. If you do not do this,
your newly entered name will be ineffective.
Print Server Password/Retype Print Server Password
The network administrator assigns passwords to Novell print servers. When passwords are assigned
with PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, those passwords should also be set up on the print servers. In Bindery
mode, only upper case passwords can be used. When typing a password into this field, it must be iden-
tical to the password assigned through PCONSOLE or NWADMIN. The typed password is stored in the
print server setup memory. For instructions that explain how to assign passwords using PCONSOLE,
refer to the Novell manual.
Enter a password in the Print Server Password field. This password is common to all file servers
assigned to the print server. Re-enter the same password into the Password Retype field for confirma-
tion. Click the Accept Settings button. This will not work unless you have entered the same password in
both fields.
File Server
Type a primary file server name in this field to designate the specific file server your print server will
access.
NDS Context
If you are using Novell NetWare 4.x Directory Services, type a preferred NDS context here. The pre-
ferred NDS context needs to be a complete context name.
Do not type a period (“.”) in the front of the context pass. You do not need to type a container name
(print server name) since it is noted in the name field above.
Examples of contexts with type are as follows:
Complete Context
o=standard.ou=organization_1
Simple Context
standard.organization_1
For further details about NDS Context, check with the system administrator.
NDS Tree
If you are using Novell NetWare 4.x Directory Services, type a preferred NDS tree in this field. If you do
not know the preferred NDS tree, type WHOAMI from the MS-DOS command line, then touch Enter for
confirmation.
Print Queue Scan Rate
This option allows you to select a queue scan rate so you may adjust the intervals at which the print
server (network interface card) polls the networks when searching for new print queues. You may enter
a number between 1 and 255 (seconds).
