NetWare 3.x in DOS

The instructions below explain how to establish communication between the
PrintServer unit and the rest of your NetWare 3.x network in a DOS environ-
ment. PSERVER must be loaded and configured properly on your file server
before continuing. Consult your NetWare documentation for information on
how to do this.

Manual Setup of the Print Server Mode

the

PSCONFIG program, which can be found under the D:\UTILI-

TY\DOS directory on the PrintServer CD.

2. When the table of active devices appears, highlight the PrintServer device

you want to configure and press Enter.

3. Choose

Set to NetWare Print Server Mode from the Available Options

menu and press Enter.

4. Make up a Print Server name and enter it. Write it down; you will need it

in a moment.

6. When you reach Master File Server, press Enter to choose from a list of

available file servers.

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

8. If turned on, Job Notification by Connection ID will automatically notify

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

for changing the PrintServer’s internal settings), do so by clicking on
