Chapter 4 - 8
You may use NetWare Administrator NWADMIN or PCONSOLE to configure the printer in
NDS. Prior to printing, NDS must be set up as follows and the Network Interface Board must
be set up with NDS Context and Tree. See Section 4.4. The steps below describe the use of
NWADMIN configuration to create printer, print server, and print queue objects. Then, you
will assign, or associate those objects with each other.
If you wish to keep Bindery resources on any server, you can under NetWare 4.x if you declare a
SET BINDERY CONTEXT statement in your AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
For those who prefer, NetWare does offer PCONSOLE as an alternative to NWADMIN.
PCONSOLE can be used to set up static information about print servers such as: which
queues to service, and whom to notify in the event of a problem. See Novell NetWare
documentation for more information about the use of PCONSOLE for NDS.
