Types Of Print Service - Canon CLC3220 Network Manual

Types of Print Service

Before specifying print service settings, refer to the following descriptions to determine the type
of print service you are using.
NOTE
• Normally with NetWare 4.x or later, it is recommended that you use NDS print service. With NetWare
3.2, it is recommended that you use Bindery print service. This manual describes procedures for these
two combinations only.
• With NetWare 5.x, you can use NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services).
For NDPS settings, see the NetWare manual.
• With NetWare 6, you can use iPrint print service. For iPrint settings, see the NetWare manual.
■ NDS (Novell Directory Service) and Bindery Mode
The machine network supports both the NDS and Bindery mode.
Determine the appropriate mode according to the network environment you are using. (If you are using
4
NetWare 3.2, only the Bindery mode is available.)
■ Queue Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode
The machine supports both the queue server mode and the remote printer mode.
• Queue Server Mode
If the machine is used in the queue server mode, all print server functions are provided by the machine
itself; no other print server hardware or software is required. In the NDS queue server mode (NDS
PServer), the NDS print server is used for printing. In the Bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer),
the Bindery print server is used for printing. In the queue server mode, a separate NetWare user
operating license is required for each machine.
• Remote Printer Mode
In the remote printer mode, NetWare print server is required to control the printer. The machine prints
using the NDS print server in the NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), and the Bindery print server in
the Bindery remote printer mode (RPrinter).
