Novell NetWare
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services)
Some versions of the Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities CD
contain the Lexmark NDPS IP
Gateway. To find out if your
CD contains the gateway, look
on the CD for a subdirectory
named NDPS.
If you have MarkNet print servers in an NDPS environment, we recommend
that you install the Lexmark NDPS IP Gateway. This allows your printers to be
tightly integrated with NDPS so that you can easily monitor, control and print
to them.
You can get the gateway plus all support files and installation procedures from
the Lexmark web site (www.lexmark.com).
Non-NDPS (queue-based)
The easiest way to configure the print server for NetWare jobs in a non-NDPS
environment is to use MarkVision. MarkVision automatically creates all the
necessary NetWare objects (print queue objects, print server objects, and printer
objects).
Do the following from a Windows NT workstation running Novell NetWare
Client32 software, or from a Windows 95 or Windows 98 workstation running
either Novell Client32 or Microsoft Client for NetWare networks.
1 Install the NetWare software component on the workstation. Look on the
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom
install to add network support, and select NetWare.)
2 Launch MarkVision. In the MarkVision main window, find the new
network printer. Look for the line item containing your print server’s
physical address (the MSB form of the print server UAA).
The default login name
contains the characters !LEX
plus the UAA of the MarkNet
print server (for example,
!LEX00200022012F).
3 Double-click the network printer. Configure the MarkNet print server by
doing the following:
a Set a unique NetWare login name. This is the name the print server uses
to log in to the NetWare server.
b Enable the MarkNet port.
c Select PSERVER mode.
For information about
choosing PSERVER or
RPRINTER mode, look on the
CD. Click View
Documentation and look for
the MarkNet link.
• If you want to manage NDS queues, you must specify the NDS tree
and context where the MarkNet print server is defined. You also
need to create or select queues to be serviced.
• If you want to manage bindery queues, you must first specify the
file servers. Afterward, you must create or select queues to be
serviced.
4 If prompted to reset the print server, select Yes to immediately begin
servicing the queues.
