Netware Print Server Mode - NETGEAR PS104 Installation And Reference Manual

Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server
The print server supports multiple protocols but only one name is used for the print server, no
matter what protocol is used. As a result, whatever name chosen affects the operation of the print
server under different protocols. Therefore, NETGEAR recommends that the device name be
determined for the whole network and not changed.

NetWare Print Server Mode

The NetWare Print Server Mode selection sets the NetWare server (Bindery mode) or tree
(NetWare Directory Services mode) that the print server should service. It configures the printer to
operate in either PSERVER mode or RPRINTER mode.
