9.2.4 Printing PCL From NetWare
Printing PCL jobs requires an 8-bit clean data path between the NetWare file server and the
printer. In addition, the Binary attribute must be enabled on the service being used.

9.2.5 Printing PostScript From NetWare
PostScript printing from NetWare requires that the PostScript attribute be enabled on the printing
service:

9.3 Troubleshooting
9.3.1 QINST Print Queue Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting section assumes the Novell queue was created using the QINST utility. If the
queue was created manually using PCONSOLE, either delete the queue and re-create it using
QINST or re-verify the steps in the
Creating Bindery Print Queues section.

Things to Check Suggestion
Verify that the server name appears and
that it matches the server and service
names. Try PCONSOLE. (If you are using NetWare 4.0, use the F4
key to enter bindery emulation mode.)
Verify that the NetWare access table
will allow access to the specified file
server. By default, only local (non-routed) file servers are scanned
for queues. See
Access Lists for more information on manipu-
lating the NetWare access lists.
Verify that the login password on the
RapidPrint 500 and the queue pass-
word on the file server match. If necessary, change the password on the RapidPrint 500.
Unless the passwords match, the RapidPrint 500 will not be
able to log into file servers to scan for jobs.
Look for poor printing performance in
general. If there is a significant delay between NetWare jobs, the
delay may be a result of scanning too many file servers. This
delay is often increased if the file servers are distributed
across a wide area network. Configure the NetWare access
list to only allow scanning for jobs on the file servers of
interest. To configure the NetWare access list, see
Access
Lists .
