Before You Begin
Generally speaking, TROY recommends that you use queue server mode instead of remote printer mode because
the performance will be much higher. The exception to this recommendation is if you have a limited number of
available user slots (for example, if you have a 5-user NetWare license and you have five active users). TROY
print servers will work with NetWare Directory Services (NDS) or bindery emulation mode on NetWare 4.xx and
later networks.
In order to use the TROY PocketPro 100S on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured
with a print queue that the TROY print server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server’s print
queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate
print server) to the TROY print server.
The TROY PocketPro 100S external print server can be configured under Windows using TROY’s ExtendView
utility, XAdmin32, WebXAdmin, or Hewlett-Packard’s JetAdmin utilities. Alternatively, they can be configured
using the NetWare PCONSOLE utility in conjunction with TROY's DOS XCONFIG utility.
NOTE: You must enable bindery emulation in order to use queue server mode with these products.
Before you can configure a NetWare print queue, you must have sufficient privileges. With NetWare 3.xx and
earlier, you MUST be logged in as SUPERVISOR (not someone with Supervisor privileges). With NetWare
4.xx and later, make sure that you have sufficient administrator privileges to create a print queue in the desired
context.
