IPX Printer Name:
The IPX peer to peer printing software uses the NetWare Print
Server Name to identify the 3000E. The default name is the serial number preceded
by KYO, e.g., KYO_163495. If desired, this name can be changed to a more easily
identifiable name with MAP. To change the name, follow the MAP Configuration
instructions in the NetWare Directory Services Configuration section in this guide (the
settings other than NetWare Print Server Name do not need to be entered).
