8.3.2 Creating Print Queues with NetWare Administra-
tor
The NetWare Administrator management utility allows you to manage network resources, such as queue-
based print services, like objects in a tree structure. You can either use the Quick Setup option or
individually create printing-related objects. The following steps explain how to create an NDS print queue
with the Quick Setup option.
Note:
NetWare Administrator can be used for both NDS and bindery print queues. See
your NetWare documentation for more information.
Note:
You must license NDS on your Server as explained in Licensing NDS on page 8-
