Novell NetWare NDS Remote Printer Mode
Configuration
In this mode, PSERVER.NLM polls the NetWare file server queue for
waiting print jobs, then sends the print job to the Netport print server,
which then sends the data to the printer. This mode does not require a
NetWare user license for each NetportExpress print server, but is not
recommended because it is much slower than print server mode.
To set up the print server for Novell NetWare NDS remote
printer mode
1
Log in as Admin at the workstation where you installed Netport
Manager.
2
If a print server does not already exist, create a print server using
NWADMIN or PCONSOLE.
3
Start Netport Manager.
4
Select the print server whose Device ID matches the number of
the NetportExpress print server you installed.
5
Click the Configure button.
6
Select Novell NDS Remote Printer.
7
Select a context for the print server. The context is the container
where the print server object was created.
8
Select the Novell NDS print server you created in NWADMIN or
PCONSOLE.
9
For each printer connected to the print server, click a Port tab and
assign an existing queue or add a new queue.
• To assign an existing queue, double-click the queue to add it
to the Assigned Queues list.
• To add a new queue, click New Queues and create the queue.
10 Click OK and close Netport Manager.
11 Unload and then reload PSERVER.NLM to enable the changes.
To set up a workstation to print
At each workstation that will print to this printer, use the capture
command or the workstation’s print utility to redirect printing to the
NetWare queue you set up. For instructions see the NetportExpress
Help section on NetWare printing.
