PSERVER in NetWare 3.x
Advantages of using PSERVER in NetWare 3.x:
•
Does not require that PSERVER.NLM be installed on the NetWare server.
•
Does not require you to unload PSERVER.NLM or restart your computer after installation.
•
Performance. Although overall print job throughput is affected by many factors, file transfer
time on the network may be significantly faster using PSERVER.
In NPRINTER/RPRINTER, NetWare uses SPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data
transmitted in SPX is 512 bytes.
In PSERVER, NetWare uses IPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data transmitted in IPX is
up to 1 Kilobyte for Ethernet networks.
Because of this difference in packet size, PSERVER may be faster than NPRINTER/
RPRINTER. Please note, however, that actual IPX packet size is negotiated by the client
application. This actual IPX packet size is often less than the maximum because of packet size
limitations of gateways and routers.
If printing is a significant part of your network traffic, and if network traffic is a proven concern
for your network, you may find it better to use the print servers in PSERVER.
Print servers can connect to as many as 16 file servers, with a total of 32 queues per print server,
distributed any way you want among the servers.
Disadvantage of using PSERVER in NetWare 3.x:
Requires a NetWare server user license for each PSERVER device.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with your print server on a NetWare network, do these steps in the order
shown.
Queue-based printing
1
Press the operator panel button with a brief button press to print a network settings page.
Look under the NetWare heading on the network setup page to see if the NetWare protocol is
turned on (activated) in the print server.
If NetWare is turned off, use the IPX protocol to activate it. Select the printer and then select
the NetWare task. Check the Enable box to activate NetWare.
2
Find out if the print server is servicing your NetWare queue. Use one of the utilities and look for
your queue in the list of queues being serviced. In the Network Printer Utility for NetWare,
select Options, and then Queues Serviced.
3
If your queue doesn’t appear in the list of queues being serviced, reset the printer, wait a few
minutes, and look for the queue in the list again.
4
If your queue still does not appear in the list of queues being serviced, you have a print server
setup problem. Reconfigure the MarkNet print server.
