SETUP THE
PRINT SERVER
WITH NetWare 3.x
Cautions:
● To install the print server on more than one file server, perform the procedures of NetWare 3.x Set up:
Creating the print queue, Creating the print server, Creating the printer, and Assigning a print queue for
each file server. You must use the same name and password (if required) for the print server on all file
servers. If you use a password, specify it on each file server using the Change Password option on the
Print Server Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility.
● When the Print Server Card comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to the file servers that are
no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks propagation delay. For extremely large or
complex networks, this allows a bounded search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to file
servers beyond this range, or if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all servers
in the four hops/eight ticks radius, the file servers with which the print server is to operate may be entered
into the Print Server Configuration of a primary file server. The primary file server can be any file server
within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server.
Once the print server locates the primary file server and the list of file servers to be serviced, the automatic
search is dropped and the print server will go to those file servers listed (and to no others).
