8.4 PCL
Printing PCL jobs requires an 8-bit clean data path between the NetWare file server and the printer. When
printing via the serial port, use hardware flow control. In addition, enable the Binary attribute on the service
being used.
Figure 8-41: Enabling Binary
8.5 PostScript
PostScript printing from NetWare requires that the PostScript attribute be enabled on the print service.

EPS1 and EPS2 users may also wish to set the Silent/Verbose switch to Silent mode. Leaving the switch in
Verbose mode will result in boot-time diagnostic messages which may confuse the printer.
8.6 Troubleshooting
8.6.1 QINST Print Queue Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting section assumes the Novell queue was created using the QINST utility. If the queue
was created manually using PCONSOLE, either delete the queue and re-create it using QINST or verify the
steps in the Creating Bindery Print Queues with QINST section.

Things to Check
Suggestion
Verify that the server name appears and
that it matches the server and service
names.
Try PCONSOLE. (If you are using NetWare 4.0, use the F4
key to enter bindery emulation mode.)
