Pserver can also be configured manually via PCONSOLE on the file server(s). PCONSOLE is useful, for
example, when you want to see exactly what is being configured by the QINST utility. Some basic
familiarity with PCONSOLE is assumed in the examples.
Rprinter is set up via the PCONSOLE utility on the file server(s). Again, basic familiarity with PCONSOLE
is assumed in the examples.
8.3.1 Creating NDS Print Queues with PCONSOLE
The Quick Setup option is the easiest way to create NDS print queues with PCONSOLE. The following
steps refer to NetWare v4.x or greater.
License NDS on your Server as explained in the Licensing NDS section on page 8-1.
1
Configure the Server.
A
Use the Set/Define Protocols NetWare DSTree command to define the directory service tree in
which the print server is located.
Figure 8-3: Defining the Directory Service Tree
Note:
For an explanation of the structure of the NetWare Directory Service tree, see
your host documentation.
B
Use the Set/Define Protocols NetWare DSContext command to define the directory service
context where the print server is located.
Figure 8-4: Defining the Directory Service Context
C
Enter the List Protocol NetWare Access command to ensure that at least one of the file servers
in the directory service tree is in the access list.
The access list is set to Local by default, which includes all file servers attached to a local Ethernet
segment (not accessed through a router). To add to this list, enter the Set/Define Protocols Net-
Ware Access command.
Figure 8-5: Adding to the Access List
2
Reboot the Server.
