Setting Up the Network Server
6–3
Overview of IPX Printing to the DP-C106
Setting up the DP-C106 is similar to setting up any other PostScript
printer on the network. The following information is useful for
experienced system administrators.
The DP-C106 with IPX connections has these characteristics:
• NetWare 3.x, 4.x and 5.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is
also supported through bindery emulation.
• A minimum connection to the DP-C106 consists of a NetWare file
server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.
• A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery
servers can be configured simultaneously. This limit is the same
for Ethernet configurations.
• The DP-C106 searches for print jobs on one NetWare print server
per bindery server.
• Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the
DP-C106.
• Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT 4.0 workstations (whether a
Novell server is present or not) can use IPX/SPX protocols for
communicating with the printer directly or use Fiery Utilities
(ColorWise Pro Tools, Fiery Spooler and Fiery Link).
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are
storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote workstation
decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare file
server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client
workstation.
The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct
connection, Print queue, and Hold queue on the printer. The NetWare
queue names should be given one of the following lower case
extensions in English:
_print
_hold
_direct
