NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x PSERVER Setup
NIC destinations are case sensitive and will not be recognized if they are
typed incorrectly. By default, they are all lower case. If you are setting up a
NetWare 4 or 5 environment, the destination must be renamed to uppercase
to match the PCONSOLE entry.
The NIC can be used in a NetWare 4 or 5 environment with either of the
following options:
• Set the NIC up as a PSERVER, replacing a dedicated printer.
• Set the NIC up as an RPRINTER, interacting with an existing PSERVER
(see page 213).
Following a PSERVER setup, bindery emulation is required. To configure the
NIC as a PSERVER in a NetWare 4 environment:
1. Log in to the Novell as supervisor.
2. Enter
PCONSOLE.
3. Press F4.
4. Select “Print Queues.”
