resource that was already up and running when you began the installation.
3. When the Print Server Information window appears, choose the
Printers option and press Enter.

you want to have serviced by the print server. (The “printer” is actually

Configuring the Print Server Hardware
1. Run the PSCONFIG program located in the D:\UTILITY\DOS directory
on the Linksys PrintServer CD.
2. The program will display an Active Device list table with a list of active
PrintServers on the network. Each PrintServer has a name, default name,
network number, and number of available ports.
3. Select the PrintServer device you just installed and press Enter. A list of
available options will appear. Choose Set to NetWare Remote Printer
Mode from the list and press Enter. Make up a Print Server name and
enter it, (ie, MARKETING, TARDIS, etc.).
4. Enter the name of the existing print server resource name into Parallel
Port 1. Do the same for Port 2 and Port 3 if you have an EPSX3 and you
are adding printers to the PrintServer’s second and third parallel ports.
5. Select the desired frame type for your network. Select the Execute Setup.
When the program finishes, press Esc repeatedly till the program closes.
The setup is complete. The PrintServer will automatically log into your file
server. If you run your Console Monitor or other NetWare monitoring soft-
ware, you will be able to verify the PrintServer’s connection. Unload and
reload the print server resource on the file server. When PSERVER.NLM
comes up, the newly installed printers will appear.

figure it.

5. Scroll down to Configuration and press Enter.
6. Make sure the Port is set to the correct PrintServer device’s parallel port
(LPT1, 2, or 3, depending on the port that will be servicing the printer).

Adding More than One Printer (EPSX3 and EFSP42)
Repeat steps 1-10 to set the configuration for each printer you create. When
adding a second or third printer, you’ll need to use the same printer name you
used for the same printer, with an additional _P2 or _P3 added at the end to
designate which printer you’re adding. If printer one is called myprinter, for
example, printer two would need to be called myprinter_P2, and printer three
would be myprinter_P3.
Assigning Printers to Print Servers
1. When you’re finished, press Esc repeatedly until the available Options
main menu reappears. Scroll down to Print Servers and press Enter.
