Setting the PSERVER parameters in the Axis Network Print Server Web interface.
4. Use the NetWare Administrator to create the printer, print server and queue
objects in the NDS tree and then link them together. The Print Services
Quick Setup (Non-NDPS) utility can be used for this. Go to Tools in the
NetWare Administrator.
5. Use the Add Printer Wizard on your work station to install the printer on
your client. Note that only NDS queue based PSERVER printing is supported.
When installing, choose Network Printer and browse to the queue you have
just created. Alternatively, choose Local Printer and select the queue you
have just captured.
Any configuration and management of the Axis Network Print Server can
be performed from any standard Web browser. Please refer to "Using a
Web Browser for Print Server Management" on page 79.
If both the IPX and IP protocols are enabled in your network and the print
server uses DUAL_STACK (enabled by default) as its network transport
protocol, then IPX will be chosen. To force the print server to use the IP
transport protocol, go to your print server's Web interface and choose
Admin | Detailed View | NetWare and change the NetWare Transport
Protocol from DUAL_STACK to IP_ONLY. Save and exit when finished.
Pure IP requires that you run NetWare 5 or higher.
The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of the
two supported queue-based printing methods.
The Axis Network Print Server logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly
polls the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the Axis Network
Print Server emulates a NetWare print server, which is a workstation
running PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network load
and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each
print server in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user license.
