Note:
Before performing any procedures in this chapter,
the printer must be connected and configured as
described by Chapter 2, "Connecting the Printer" on
page 9.
I
NTRODUCTION
The printer server topology involves a computer, called a
printer server. All print clients send their print jobs to the
printer server. The printer server then sends the jobs to the
printer. The network operating system (NOS) can be
Windows NT Server or Novell NetWare. For more
information about this type of topology, see "Printer Server
Topology" on page 6. An outline of this chapter is shown
below.

NetWare Networks:

• Using NPM to Configure NetWare
• Configuring NetWare 3.12
• Configuring NetWare 4.x and 5.x
• Configuring a Windows 3.1x Client
• Configuring a Windows 95 or 98 Client
• Configuring a Window NT 4.0 Client
• Configuring a Macintosh Client
• Configuring a UNIX Client
Windows NT Server Networks:
• Configuring Windows NT Server
• Configuring a Windows 3.1x Client
• Configuring a Windows 95 or 98 Client
• Configuring a Window NT 4.0 Client
• Configuring a Macintosh Client
• Configuring a UNIX Client

ET ARE ETWORKS
Setting up a NetWare printer server topology involves
creating a print queues and servers, then configuring each
print client.
Queues on NetWare servers can be created with the NEC
SuperScript 1800 Network Printer Manager, NetWare Printer
Console, or the NetWare Administrator.
The Network Printer Manager (NPM) is supplied with your
printer as a program that can run on a Windows 95, 98, or
NT 4.0 computer. For instructions about installing NPM, see
Appendix B, on page 47.
The NetWare Printer Console is a component of
NetWare 3.12, 4.x, and 5.x. The NetWare Administrator is a
component of NetWare versions 4.x and 5.x.
If you plan on using NPM, begin at "Using NPM to
Configure NetWare" on page 23, then use the remaining
subsections to configure each print client.
If you plan on using one of the NetWare tools to configure the
NOS, determine which version of NetWare your network is
using, then begin at one of the following sections.
• "Configuring NetWare 3.12" on page 27.
• "Configuring NetWare 4.x and 5.x" on page 28.
Using NPM to Configure NetWare
NetWare has two kinds of directory systems for managing
their networks. One is the Bindery, and the other is the
NetWare Directory System (NDS). The NPM has a procedure
for both systems.
