DocuPrint NPS/IPS on a Novell network
D-2 Installation Planning Guide
Each queue has a directory on a hard disk. A print job sent to a
queue is stored as a file within that directory. Once the job is
printed, the file is removed from the queue directory.
The print queue software maintains a temporary record of
information for every print job. The information includes such
items as job number, job position in the queue, time the job
entered the queue, print server designated to print the job, user
ID of the person who submitted the job, and so on. The user can
access this information or cancel a job, using PCONSOLE, for
each queue.
Queue to printer relationships
Novell NetWare allows for flexibility in setting up different printing
configurations. Multiple queues and printers can be associated in
different ways to meet different needs, such as the following:
• One queue to one printer
• Multiple queues to one printer
• One queue to many printers
• Multiple queues to multiple printers.
PCONSOLE
PCONSOLE is the main Novell utility used for creating, viewing
and managing print queues. When you create a queue with
PCONSOLE, the Novell software sets up the queue directory
and a bindery entry. The bindery is the database of all users,
groups, and other defined entities on the NetWare file server.
NOTE: There is no PCONSOLE access at the DocuPrint NPS/
IPS Printer Controller.
You can perform the following tasks using PCONSOLE:
• Add or remove the following:
– Definitions of file servers serviced by the print server
– Definitions of print queues serviced by the print server
– Definitions of printers for a print server
– Print servers
– Users
– Jobs to and from a queue
