Novell NetWare allows for flexibility in setting up different printing
configurations. Multiple queues and printers can be associated in
different ways to meet different needs, such as the following:
•
One queue to one printer
•
Multiple queues to one printer
•
One queue to many printers
•
Multiple queues to multiple printers.
PCONSOLE is the main Novell utility used for creating, viewing and
managing print queues. When you create a queue with PCONSOLE,
the Novell software sets up the queue directory and a bindery entry.
The bindery is the database of all users, groups, and other defined
entities on the NetWare file server.
Note: There is no PCONSOLE access at the DocuPrint NPS
printer controller.
You can perform the following tasks using PCONSOLE:
•
Add or remove the following:
— definitions of file servers serviced by the print server
— definitions of print queues serviced by the print server
— definitions of printers for a print server
— print servers
— users
— jobs to and from a queue
— queues
•
View or change job information
•
Check or change queue status.
A user or operator can change job values or delete a job while it is
still in the Novell queue, and before DocuPrint NPS starts to receive
it. If the user has deleted the job after DocuPrint NPS begins to
receive it, DocuPrint receives the delete action and attempts to
cancel the job. Cancellation may fail and the job will partially or
completely print.
