Pi5500 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share
printing to the Pi5500. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP
protocols for communicating with the Pi5500. In addition, it includes some guidelines
for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations and UNIX
workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the
requirements for network clients to print to the Pi5500 and run the Fiery utilities and
Fiery WebTools.
The Pi5500 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and
AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT or UNIX
workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not
discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0 environment (see
“Pi5500 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0” on page 4-11).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, proceed to page 4-11. For information
on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 4-19.
Pi5500 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS
The Pi5500 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the TCP/IP
protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Pi5500 takes advantage of
features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services), using the Novell Gateway
version 2.0.3 or later and Support Pack version 3.0 or later. For IPX printing, the
Pi5500 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell
Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “Pi5500 on a
NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x network” on page 4-4.

:
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active
cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
