Network Printer Mode
Considerations and Limitations
The controller can function as either a NetWare network printer or a print
server, but not both simultaneously. Decide the preferred mode prior to
setup. Consider the following issues before making your choice:
„
In an IP-only network environment, the controller cannot function as
a Network Printer. It can function as a Novell NDPS Printer Agent if
NDPS services have been configured and the Imagistics NDPS
Gateway has been installed. IPX/SPX is required to configure the
controller as a Network Printer
„
As a Network Printer, the controller can support multiple print
queues.
„
Running the controller as a Network Printer is not as fast or efficient
as running it in Print Server mode.
Prerequisites
Use the NetWare management utility PCONSOLE (for NetWare 4.x bindery
mode) or NWAdmin (NetWare 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x NDS mode) to perform the
following steps before enabling Novell print services from the copier
control panel or Printer Utility.
For more information, refer to your Novell NetWare documentation.
1
Create a new print server (PSERVER) on the Novell file server. Note
the print server name (e.g.,
ipc1_2_PS
).
2 Create a new print queue (e.g.,
ipc1_2_Q
)
3 Create a new printer for the controller. Set the
Printer Type
to
Other/
Unknown
and note the printer number.
4 Assign the print queue to the printer on the NetWare file server.
5 Assign the printer to the print server.
6 Run PSERVER.NLM using the following syntax:
LOAD PSERVER <PSERVER_NAME>
where
<PSERVER_NAME>
is the name of the new print server from
Step 1.
