Creating a Printer Resource

1. Right-click

on

Context. Click Create.

2. When the popup menu appears, scroll down to Printer and double-click

on it.

3. Enter a name for the printer that will be attached to the PrintServer.

(Example: HP5). Click on Create.

Creating a Print Queue Resource

1. Right-click on the Context again. Scroll down to Print Queue and dou-

ble-click on it. When the Create Print Queue field appears, click Create.
Select the Directory Service Queue Menu option.

2. Enter a name in the Print Queue Name field. (Example:

SALESQUEUE)

3. Next to the Print Queue Volume field, click on the dotted button. The

Select Object window appears.

4. Browse through the objects and context windows until you come to an

available volume where the new print queue will be installed. The vol-
umes will appear in the Available Objects window.

5. When the desired volume appears, double-click on it. The volume will

appear in the Print Queue Volume field in the Create Print Queue
window. Click on Create.

Double-click on the organization or the organizational unit where the
PrintServer was set up. When opened, the current Context should now con-
tain a print server, a printer, and a queue.

8. Leave

the

Master File Server field empty.

9. Enter a number from 1 to 255 in the Polling Queue. This is how long in

seconds the PrintServer will wait before polling the queue for print jobs
that might be waiting.

10. If turned on, Job Notification by Connection ID will automatically noti-

fy the file server after a job is complete, allowing the administrator to use
PCONSOLE or other programs to monitor users’ printing.

11. Pick the frame types you want the PrintServer to support.

If you want to change the PrintServer’s configuration password (required for
changing the PrintServer’s internal settings), click on Change Password.

When you finish, choose to execute and click Save To Device for the new set-
tings, then close down the Bi-Admin program. Start up NetWare’s NWAdmin
program. See your NetWare documentation for help.

2. Scroll down to PrintServer and double-click on it. The Create Print

Server window will appear.

e:: Contrary to NetWare Setup, the NDS context does not start with a period. The

context must begin with the name of the organization where the PrintServer is being
installed. If the organization where the PrintServer is being installed is a organiza-
tional unit, then the organization must be listed, (separated by a ‘.’ period).
