Configuring
the XNIC as a
Print Server
(NetWare 4.x
NDS)
When Novell NetWare is configured to use the XNIC printer
server, up to 128 file servers (the default is 16) may service
the printer server with a maximum of 256 queues.
This section includes procedures for configuring the XNIC as
PServer in NetWare 4.x NDS network using either PConsole
in a DOS environment or NetWare Administrator (NWAdmin)
in a Windows environment.
NDS Mode
Considerations
Before you begin, make sure these conditions are present:
An NDS server containing an NDS partition replica with
the 4.x PServer object must be no more than two routers
(hops) away from the XNIC printer server.
Printer objects must be in the same context as the PServer
object that references the printer objects.
Define only one PServer object for each XNIC printer
server.
The Public Trustee, which is created by default during
NetWare 4.1 installation, must exist on the root of the
NDS tree.
Spaces and trailers in the NDS tree name will be
converted to underscores to form a 32 byte field length.
Note
NDS objects can also be defined and administered using
NetAdmin
TM
in DOS environments.
For the Print Server name, use XNExxxxxx for
XNIC-ENET and XNTxxxxxx for XNIC-TRING.
For the Printer name use XNExxxxxx
_
1
for XNIC-ENET
and XNTxxxxxx_1 for XNIC-TRING
where
x x x x x x
is the last six characters of the XNIC
hardware address. Upper and lower case are not
important.
