Configuring the Printer With NetPilot

Network Dialog

NetWare Network Settings
Configuring your Tally printer through NetPilot happens in two dialogs,
the Network dialog and the Properties dialog.
The Network dialog allows you to change the interface settings for
NetBEUI/NetBIOS, Appletalk and IPX/SPX networks.
The Network dialog allows you to change your printer's print server, the
bindery file server and the banner type. The NetWare dialog window will
display your connection to the printer.
The printer can operate in either print server mode or remote printer
mode. The following briefly explains the advantages and disadvantages of
each mode.
Print Server Mode
In this mode, the file server is logged in and the printer queue is
repeatedly polled to determine whether a printer job exists. The NetWare
print server, or workstation on which PSERVER runs, is emulated. This
enables high-speed printing without applying a load to the network. In
this print server mode, a single-user NetWare license is required.
Remote Printer Mode
In this mode, a connection is made to a dedicated workstation that is
executing PSERVER.NLM or PSERVER.EXE. A print job is received
from the file server via the NetWare print server. The network interface
emulates the workstation on which the NetWare RPRINTER and
NPRINTER operate. This mode is recommended for a small-scale
network.
To reference the print queue, you must first log on to either the file server
or NDS tree.
Using Print Server Mode will allow for easy installation and high speed,
but will require one license for each connection to the file server. Using
Remote Printer Mode is slower, and adds additional traffic to the network,
but it doesn't require any additional licenses.
