Chapter 4 Setting Up – NetWare
The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of
the two supported NetWare printing methods.
Print Server Mode
The EasyLAN 100i logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls
the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the EasyLAN 100i
emulates a NetWare print server, that is a workstation running
PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network load
and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized networks.
Each print server in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare license.
Advantages
• High performance, typically up to 1 Mbyte/s.
Limitations
• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user
licence for each EasyLAN 100i to file server link.
Remote Printer Mode
The EasyLAN 100i connects to a PSERVER NetWare program
running on the file server, or to a dedicated workstation running
PSERVER.EXE. It then automatically receives print jobs from the
file server. In this fashion, the EasyLAN 100i emulates a worksta-
tion running the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or
NPRINTER.
This mode is only recommended for small networks where the num-
ber of NetWare user licences is a major issue.
Advantages
• NetWare user licences are not required.
Limitations
• Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM.
• Higher network load.
