Bindery Reference Queues
Novell suggests that you upgrade all of your printers to NDPS as soon as
possible. However, you may still want to provide your users with access
to queue-based printing resources for a variety of reasons. While connect-
ing to queue-based printers controlled by NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 serv-
ers in the current NDS tree can be accomplished directly when you
configure a Printer Agent, you may need to create one or more “bindery
reference queues” to provide access to printers controlled by a NetWare
3 file server or printers controlled by a NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 server in
a different NDS tree.
A bindery reference queue serves as a pointer to a real NetWare queue
on both types of servers. After you have created a bindery reference
queue to point to a real bindery queue on a target server, you can then
configure a Printer Agent to send jobs to that queue just as you would if
the queue actually resided on a NetWare 4.x or NetWare 5.x server in the
same tree. The following section explains how to accomplish this proce-
dure using NetWare Administrator.
✎
Note
If a bindery reference queue already exists, you can use it with NDPS
with no modification. A new reference queue object does not need to
be created in NDS.
Configuring Bindery Reference Queues
Prerequisites
Before you can create a bindery reference queue, the following require-
ments must be met:
✔ The print queue you want to reference must already exist on the server
you want to point to.
✔ A bindery object of the same name as the one you are using must exist
on that server and must have rights to the print queue you are refer-
encing.
1 In NetWare Administrator, select the container where you want the ref-
erence queue to reside.
2 Choose Object — Create .
This causes the New Object dialog box to appear.
3 Select Print Queue .
This causes the Create Print Queue dialog box to appear.
