the bottom of the NIC and is displayed on the NIC box. If the NIC has
already been installed, the Novell Print Server Name can be found on
the power-up network status page under Novell Network Information.

Turn the printer off and on and wait for a power-up network status page
to print. If the network is large, the power-up status page may take
several minutes to print. (Note: This time may be reduced by setting a
Preferred File Server for the NIC with the Management Access
Program. Refer to the NetWare section of the NIC User's Manual for
more information.)
The Novell Connection Information in the bottom half of the status page
displays the printer name, file server, queue, etc. If it displays Attached:
Yes , this confirms that the NIC Print Server is ready to accept print jobs.
If the status page does not display Attached: Yes , please verify that the
Novell Print Server Name on the status page under Novell Network
Information matches exactly with the Print Server name that was
entered in PCONSOLE or refer to the troubleshooting section in the
User's Manual.
