Novell NetWare

Overview

The OkiLAN print server supports the Novell NetWare environment.

It is necessary to have NetWare Administrator or Supervisor rights

to change the configuration. This guide is for NetWare

administrators. It should be read in conjunction with the relevant

Novell NetWare manual. The latest Novell service packs and Novell

client versions should be installed.

Supported Versions and Modes

In NDS, the printer can be configured to work in either print server

mode or remote printer mode.

Remote Printer Mode

Remote Printer Mode requires a connection to be made to a

workstation running Pserver. Print jobs are received from the file

server via the NetWare print server. The network interface card

emulates the workstation on which the NetWare Rprinter operates.

Remote Printer Mode adds additional traffic to the network and is

slower than Print Server Mode but does not require any additional

licenses.

Print Server Mode (Recommended)

In Print Server Mode, the file server is logged in and the printer

queue is repeatedly polled to determine whether a print job exists.

The NetWare print server or workstation where Pserver runs is

emulated. This enables high speed printing without applying a load

to the network. Print Server Mode requires a single user NetWare

license.
