NetWare Host Troubleshooting

Netware Host Troubleshooting (Bindery Mode)
Area to Check
The server and queue names
match the print server and service
name
NetWare access table
Area to Check
NetWare access table
The login password on the NIC
and the queue password on the
file server
The print server has successfully
attached to the queue
The DSTree, DSContext, and
DSLicense
Printer and queue changes have
propagated through the NDS tree
Failure Code
Bit
Meaning
1 NIC out of memory
2, 3 Unexpected response
from file server
Explanation
Use PCONSOLE to check.
Scanning too many file servers can cause a delay
between jobs.Configure the access list to only scan
for jobs on the file servers of interest.
Netware Host Troubleshooting (NDS)
Explanation
By default, only local (non-routed) file servers are
scanned for queues.
The passwords must match or the NIC will not be
able to log into the file servers to scan for jobs.
Type NETSTAT at the Local> prompt. This will
display information about fileservers, printers, and
queues that the print server has found. If a queue is
in JobPoll, the print server has successfully
attached to the queue.
Type Show Protocol NetWare NDS. This com-
mand shows the tree and the context that you have
configured, a failure code, and an NDS error code
for each server.
DSTree is the directory service tree on which the
print server is located. DSContext is the context
where the print server is located; it must match the
context on the file server (The DSContext must be
of the following form: ou=fruit.0=exotic). DSLi-
censed should be yes.
It may take a few minutes for the changes to propa-
gate. If the print server doesn't attach, reboot the
server.
NDS Printing Errors
Remedy
Cycle power. Disable unused protocols and/or remove
fileservers without print queues from the NetWare
access list.
