Setting up
NetWare Windows
clients
Using AppleTalk with Macintosh computers on an IPX
(Novell) network
Before setting up client workstations, make sure you perform Network
Setup on the printer, and that the settings reflect the entities you created in
PCONSOLE .
Client setup has two parts:
•
Install the PS printer driver on each Windows workstation.
•
Configure the printer driver to print to a print queue on a Novell file server.
For instructions on installing the appropriate printer driver for your system
see
"Chapter 4
Installing Software for Windows".
For instructions on configuring the printer driver to print to a Novell file
server print queue, see
Windows 3.1.
Macintosh users on an IPX network can print to the printer in two ways:
•
Directly, using AppleTalk and bypassing the NetWare server
•
Through a NetWare server running NetWare for Macintosh
Since the printer supports both AppleTalk and IPX protocols at the same
time, it's not necessary to use the second option. However, a network
administrator may choose to route all print jobs through a server.

NOTES:
•
The printer can be attached to only one NetWare server at a time.
•
Printing via the AppleTalk port of Windows NT 4.0 is not recommended as
it may cause additional, unnecessary pages to be printed.
Printing directly to the printer
Due to the layered design of networks, data can be transmitted using more
than one network protocol. When Macintosh computers are connected to an
IPX network, they can continue to transmit data over Ethernet cable using
AppleTalk protocols. If the printer is on the same network, Macintosh
computers can see and print to the printer, provided that AppleTalk is
enabled on the Macintosh and in Network Protocol Setup.
