NetWare 5.x and 4.x with Windows

Remote Printer Mode
The instructions below explain how to manually configure the PrintServer for
Remote Printer Mode, and establish communication between it and the rest of
your NetWare 4.x network in a mostly Windows environment. PSERVER
must be loaded and configured properly on your file server before continu-
ing. Consult your NetWare documentation for information on how to do this.
Before you begin, make sure you have already set up a NetWare print server
resource on a file server or elsewhere. See page 29 for details on print server
resources.

CD. (The use of the Bi-Admin program is covered in the Managing the
PrintServer section. Follow the steps on page 37 now to install and run
Bi-Admin if you haven't already).
2. When the Bi-Admin program runs, it automatically scans the network for
available Linksys PrintServer hardware. Any hardware found on the net-
work will appear in the Default Name, Device Name, Printer Port chart.
Bi-Admin will ask for the password given to the device. Enter the pass-
word, or leave it blank if no password is assigned. Click OK.
3. Click once on the Device Name of the PrintServer you want to configure
to highlight it.
4. Click on Configuration, then NetWare. The NetWare Configuration
window will appear.
5. Click on the round Remote Printer option button to select it, then click
on Remote Printer Configuration. The Remote Printer Configuration
window will appear.

Name field, which will refer to the PrintServer hardware itself. (Example:
MARKETING, PRINTSERVER1, etc.)

Context tree located on the left side of the screen. Navigate through the
available Contexts until you come to the Context where your NetWare
print server is set up, which should have been done before the software

Server window will appear.

in step 5 on the previous page.

in the current context on the left.

Scroll down to the Print Queue option and double-click on it. The Create
Print Queue window will appear.

window). When the desired volume appears, double-click on it. The vol-
ume will appear in the Print Queue Volume field in the Create Print
Queue window. Click on Create.
