This is a brief overview of the steps you follow to configure a Novell NetWare
file server and to set up a print queue to support the printer on a Novell
network. The Phaser Share User Manual gives the step-by-step procedure you
follow to perform this configuration. There are two methods, each using a
different utility program, that you can use to configure the file server and set up
print queues. In brief, this is what you will do:
1. Load the utility Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT) onto the file
server through a workstation.
2.
Log on to a file server as supervisor with supervisor privileges.
3. Run ACT and select Quick Configuration.
4. At this point, you will be able to see a list of available printers. The
printer's print server name is displayed. The default name is
TEKxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six hex digits of the printer's
Ethernet address. If the printer is not displayed, refer to the Novell
NetWare configuration topic in the Phaser Share User Manual.
5. Select a file server to be configured.
6. Select a queue to service the printer or create a new queue.
