Configuring NetWare Network Settings
Follow these steps to configure the network environment when using the printer in a NetWare network.
Important
•  To configure network settings, you must be logged in with administrative rights such as Administrator. We recommend that your network administrator configure the network settings.
  1. Configure the Ethernet frame type to be used in communication by the printer with the computer.
  2. Configure the NetWare print service such as the print server and queue.
    For details on configuring settings, see "Specifying NetWare Print Services (10.4.3)."
    3.
  3. Configure the NetWare protocol details other than the frame type.
    For details on configuring settings, see "Configuring the Printer's NetWare Network Settings With RemoteUI (10.4.4)."
    After completing the settings of this procedure, configure the settings on each computer for printing in a NetWare network.
    4.
  4. Connect to the NetWare network.
    Install the NetWare client software on all computers that are to perform printing, and log in to the NetWare server or tree. For details on connecting, refer to the documentation for NetWare or your operating system.
    5.
  5. Install the printer driver.
    According to the instructions of your network administrator, install the printer driver on all computers that are to perform printing. When installing, select Network Printer as the printer connection destination, and select the queue created when configuring the NetWare print service.
    6.
  6. Configure the printer port by the following procedure. If you configured the printer connection destination while installing the printer driver, this procedure is unnecessary.
    1.Open the Printers and Faxes (or Printers, Devices and Printers ) window.
    2.Right-click the icon of this printer and choose Properties (For Windows 7 and Windows Vista, Printer Properties ) to open the printer properties window.
    3.Click the Port (or Advanced ) tab to display the Port (or Advanced ) sheet.

Specifying NetWare Print Services
Before printing in a NetWare network, you must configure print services such as print servers, print queues, and so on. You can configure the print service settings from a computer using any of the following Novell software provided with NetWare.
•NWADMIN
•PCONSOLE
Important
•  If you use NWADMIN to configure the print service settings, Novell Client (the Novell NetWare client software) must be installed as the client software application.
•  NetWare networking is unsupported in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.
This topic gives instructions for configuring NetWare print services. The order of this procedure may vary depending on the environment.

  Choosing the type of print services
Before completing print service settings, choose the type of print service. Refer to the following descriptions as needed.
Note
•  In NetWare 5.1 or 6.0, NDPS may also be used as the print service. If you use NDPS, use the Novell printer gateway included with NetWare. For details on configuring NDPS, refer to the NetWare documentation.
•NDS (Novell Directory Service) and bindery
NDS and bindery are both supported. Use the mode that is compatible with your network environment.
•Queue server mode and remote printer mode
Queue server mode and remote printer mode are both supported.
•Queue server mode
When using queue server mode, all print server functions are supported, so there is no need for other print server software or hardware. In NDS queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for printing. In bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the bindery print server is used for printing. Note that if you use queue server mode, a NetWare user license is required for each network interface.
•Remote printer mode
In remote printer mode, the printer is controlled by the NetWare print server. Thus, a NetWare print server is required. In NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), the NDS print server is used for printing, and in bindery remote printer mode (RPrinter), the bindery print server is used for printing.

  Using NWADMIN or PCONSOLE to set up the print server
Use NWADMIN to set up the print server if NDS queue server mode or remote printer mode is used.
  1. Log into NetWare as Administrator or with equivalent rights, and then start NWADMIN.
    2.
  2. Run Quick Setup.
    1.Choose Print Services Quick Setup in the Tools menu.
    2.Enter a desired name in Print Server Name. To use an existing print server, click the button at right and choose the name from the list.
    3.Enter a desired printer name in Name.
    4.To use the printer in queue server mode, choose Other/Unknown in Type. To use the printer in remote printer mode, choose Parallel in Type, click Communications, and set Ports to LPT1 and Connection Type to Manual Load.
    5.Enter a desired queue name in Name.
    6.In Volume, enter the volume object (that is, the object representing the physical volume on the network) where the print queue will be created. Click the button at right to choose from a list.
    7.Complete other settings as needed and click OK.
    Note
    •  The print server name will be required when configuring the printer's protocol settings. Write down the print server name for future reference.
    •  When running Quick Setup, the printer is assigned printer number 0. When using the printer in queue server mode, do not change the printer number from 0.
  3. Set a password.
    1.Right-click the print server created in step 2 and choose Details.
    2.Click Change Password to open the password input dialog box. Enter the password.
    3.Click OK to close the password input dialog box.
    4.Click OK or Cancel to close the details dialog box.
    4.
  4. To use the printer in remote printer mode, start the print server.
    To use the NetWare file server as the print server, enter LOAD PSERVER.NLM at the file server and press the Enter key.
    Note
    •  This procedure is not required when using queue server mode.
Use PCONSOLE to set up the print server if bindery queue server mode or remote printer mode is used.
  1. Log into NetWare as Admin and start PCONSOLE.
    2.
  2. Switch to bindery mode.
    3.
  3. If the print server has not been created, create it.
