Setting up Network Servers
Overview of IPX printing to the Pi5500
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for
print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to
a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk,
freeing up the client workstation.
The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection
and the Print, and Hold queues on the Pi5500. The NetWare queue names should be
given an extension corresponding to the Pi5500 print connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
N
OTE
:
The extension names must be in all lowercase and must be in English.
There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however
you should reboot the Pi5500 after a queue is created or removed.
When the Pi5500 is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare
server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred over the
network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Hold to Hold, Direct to Direct.
While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You can
access the Job Log containing these records at any time.
