Novell NetWare

NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services)

Some versions of the Drivers, 
MarkVision and Utilities CD 
contain the Lexmark NDPS IP 
Gateway. To find out if your 
CD contains the gateway, look 
on the CD for a subdirectory 
named NDPS. 

If you have Lexmark print servers in an NDPS environment, we recommend 
that you install the Lexmark NDPS IP Gateway. This allows your printers to be 
tightly integrated with NDPS so that you can easily monitor, control and print 
to them.

You can get the gateway plus all support files and installation procedures from 
the Lexmark web site (www.lexmark.com). 

Non-NDPS (queue-based)

The easiest way to configure the MarkNet for NetWare jobs in a non-NDPS 
environment is to use MarkVision. MarkVision automatically creates all the 
necessary NetWare objects (print queue objects, print server objects, and printer 
objects).

Do the following from a Windows NT workstation running Novell NetWare 
Client32 software, or from a Windows 95 or Windows 98 workstation running 
either Novell Client32 or Microsoft Client for NetWare networks. 

1

Install the NetWare software component on the workstation. Look on the 
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom 
install to add network support, and select NetWare.)

2

Launch MarkVision. In the MarkVision main window, find the new 
network printer. Look for a line item containing the MarkNet physical 
address (the MSB form of the print server UAA). 

The default login name 
contains the characters !LEX 
plus the UAA of the 
MarkNet (for example, 
!LEX00200022012F).

3

Double-click the line item. Configure the MarkNet by doing the following:

a

Set a unique NetWare login name. This is the name the MarkNet uses to 
log in to the NetWare server. 

b

Enable the MarkNet port. 

c

Select PSERVER mode.

For information about 
choosing PSERVER or 
RPRINTER mode, look on the 
CD. Click View 
Documentation and look for 
the MarkNet link.

If you want to manage NDS queues, you must specify the NDS tree 
and context where the MarkNet is defined. You also need to create 
or select queues to be serviced. 

If you want to manage bindery queues, you must first specify the 
file servers. Afterward, you must create or select queues to be 
serviced. 

4

If prompted to reset the print server, select Yes to immediately begin 
servicing the queues.
