Introduction
!
This section is for NetWare administrators with a basic
knowledge of NetWare and its operating procedures. We
suggest you read this in conjunction with the Novell
NetWare Documentation.
This section contains instructions and information on how to
configure your network print server in the NetWare
environment.
There are three connection methods for Novell NetWare:
• Bindery
• Novell Directory Services (NDS)
• Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS)
To print using a Novell network environment, configure the
NetWare server and thenetwork print server.
To make the configuration changes, you must have
Administrator (NetWare 4.x and 5.x) and Supervisor (NetWare
3.x) authorization.
About NetWare
The network print server supports both NDS and Bindery
printing. NDPS printing is supported in Novell’s gateway.
For printing using Novell Directory Services (NDS) or
Bindery Connections, the network print server supports the
following modes.
Print Server Mode
In print server mode:
1 A print job is stored in a print queue on the file server.
2 A printer running in print server mode directly accesses
the print queue and takes the job.
3 The printing process is performed immediately.
You do not need to have a print server on the file server.
Remote Printer Mode
In remote printer mode:
1 A job is stored in a print queue on the file server.
2 The print server (on the file server) takes the job, and
3 Transfers it to the printer allocated to the print queue.
4 The printer receives the job and the printing operation is
performed.
