b. You may print the full screen by first opening any window, placing
the cursor on the desktop away from any open windows, and then
pressing Print Screen . Be sure that at least one window is open .
c. You may use Print Screen on any port (any available printer) by
changing the default printer selection. (Point to any printer object,
click the right mouse button, click on Select Default , and click on
Phaser 380.) This is a simple way to be sure that all printers are set
up correctly.
NetWare is a shell program running above DOS. Generally, in a Novell network,
a file server, which looks and acts much like a PC computer, maintains queues
for the print files created and sent for printing from other workstations on the
network. The printer, in turn, finds all file servers with Phaser 380 queues and
extracts its print files from them. You must determine if a computer can
communicate a print file to the file server.
Generally, as outlined in the topic, "Configuring a Novell NetWare 3.x server for
the printer" on page 2-41, the file server and printer are configured during the
printer installation using software such as Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT)
or pconsole . The file server is given a name and configured with queues for the
printer.
