Configuring NetWare

To perform printing using a NetWare network, you need to configure the print service such as the print server and queue
and the printer protocols.
IMPORTANT
About the print service settings
When specifying the print service settings using NetSpot Device Installer or NetWare Administrator, Novell Client (a
NetWare client from Novell, Inc.) needs to be installed as a client software on the computer on which NetWare
Administrator will run.
Types of the Print Service
Before configuring the print service, select the type of the print service referring to the following descriptions.
NOTE
About describing the print service in this manual
Usually, select the print service of NDS for NetWare 4.x or later and the print service in Bindery Mode for NetWare 3.x.
This manual does not describe the other settings.
About NDPS
You can also use NDPS as the print service on NetWare 5.x or later. When using NDPS, use Novell Printer Gateway
supplied with NetWare as the gateway. This manual does not describe the procedure for setting NDPS. For the setting
procedure, see the instruction manual of NetWare.
NDS (Novell Directory Services) and Bindery Mode
This printer supports both NDS and Bindery Mode. Select the appropriate mode for your network environment. If you
are using NetWare 3.x, you can use only Bindery Mode.
Queue Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode
This printer supports both the Queue server mode and Remote Printer mode.
Queue Server Mode
When using Queue Server Mode, you do not need any other hardware or software for the print server because
this printer is provided with all the functions of the print server.
NDS Queue Server Mode (NDS PServer) uses a NDS print server for printing. Bindery Queue Server Mode
(Bindery PServer) uses a Bindery print server for printing. Queue Server Mode requires one NetWare user license
per printer.
Remote Printer Mode
In Remote Printer Mode, this printer is controlled by a NetWare print server. Therefore, you need a NetWare print
server other than this printer. NDS Remote Printer Mode (NPrinter) uses a NDS print server for printing. Bindery
Remote Printer Mode (RPrinter) uses a Bindery print server for printing.
Configuring NetWare
If there is any operating system that supports NetSpot Device Installer on the network, configure the NetWare print server
using NetSpot Device Installer.
If there is no operating system that supports NetSpot Device Installer on the network, configure the NetWare print server
using NetWare Administrator or PCONSOLE.
Settings Using NetSpot Device Installer
For details on the procedures for installing or using NetSpot Device Installer, see the Readme file in the following folder in
Printer Driver Software CD-ROM.
