Directing the Printer to the Printer Resource

window will appear. Click on Assignments, followed by Add.
2. The printer you just created will appear in Available Objects. Double-
click on it. The printer will appear in the list of printers on-line.
3. Look at the bottom of the Print Server window. The Status item should
say “Running”- this may take a moment depending on network traffic. If
it doesn’t, repeat all of the steps from “Creating a Printer Resource.”
4. When you finish, click OK. The setup is now complete. You may need to
reboot the computer and restart the PrintServer. Follow your NetWare
instructions for setting up a printer on your computer(s). The new printers
and their queues will show up in Windows.
Adding More than One Printer (EPSX3 and EFSP42)
If you decide to add a second or third printer, repeat all of the steps from
“Creating a Printer Resource” on the previous page.
If you need to change the PrintServer’s internal setup or configuration at any
time, see page 37. If any changes are made to the PrintServer’s settings, you
may have to reset the PrintServer and printer objects and redo the assign-
ments.
You will need to recreate printer resources for each printer you plan to add to
the network.
