EtherFast 10/100 PrintServers

IPX Printing in NetWare 5.x, 4.x and 3.x

Print Server Mode

To set up the PrintServer under NetWare using the IPX/SPX protocol for
NetWare 5.x, use an application called Quickset.exe, which is found in the
D:\Utility\DOS directory on your PrintServer CD.

1. Log in to the NDS network as an Administrator or as a user with

Administrator privileges.

2. Go to the Context (location) where you wish to create the PrintServer

object.

3. To use the NetWare Print Server mode, use the following syntax:

Quickset Unit_Name (/UN=P) (/Q1=W) (/Q2=X) (/Q3=Y)

The Unit_Name is the PrintServer’s Default Name you copied onto page 10
from the white bar code sticker on your PrintServer, in the form of “SC” plus
6 digits, which are in hexadecimal form, so you may see letters as well as
numbers.

P will be the default name of the PrintServer, if you do not specify this
option here.

W, X and Y are the queues names for parallel ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
Queues 2 and 3 apply only to the 2 and 3-Port model. If you do not use these
options, then the NDS mode uses the following default queue names:
NDS_Q1, NDS_Q2 and NDS_Q3 (for parallel ports 1, 2, and 3, respective-
ly.) In the binary mode, Q1, Q2, and Q3 will be the default names.

Here’s an example, which may differ from your setup depending on what ver-
sion of NetWare you are using:

Configuring Public Access Printers (For your reference only)

To enable your computers to print through the PrintServer, follow these steps.
Before you begin, make sure you install IntranetWare Client (Version 2.2 or
higher) on each computer that will be using NDPS printers.

To install an NDPS printer on your computer, use the NetWare Printer
Manager utility. If you are using Windows 95 or 98, run the Nwpmw32.exe
program, which should be located at F:\public\win32 on your network. See
your NetWare documentation or your network administrator to confirm the
file location. When the program runs, do the following:

1. Run the NetWare Printer Manager utility on your computer. On the

Printer Manager Menu bar, click on Printer and then select New.

2. Click

Add.

3. Select the available printer and click Install, e.g.: S_Printer. Click Close.

The printer (e.g., S_Printer) now appears in the main Printer Manager win-
dow, ready for print jobs.
