Chapter 7 Novell Netware Printing
This chapter describes how to configure and use the NETGEAR Model PS110 Print Server, and Model
PS113 Print Server in the Novell NetWare environment.
7-1 Configuration Overview
This section describes the requirements and outlines the PSERVER or RPRINTER mode configuration
in either a NetWare Bindery or a NetWare Directory Services (NDS) network environment.
To configure your print server for the Novell NetWare environment, you must have:
• NetWare Version 3.1x, NetWare Version 4.x, or NetWare Version 5.x
• NetWare PCONSOLE V1.21 or higher installed in your network file server
• NetWare Print Server V1.22 or higher (for remote printer mode only)
• DOS 3.3 or higher installed on all of the workstations in your network
• Network installation completed
The following two operating modes are possible in bindery (NetWare 3.x), NDS network environment
(NetWare 4.x), or NDPS (NetWare 5.x):
• PSERVER mode
PSERVER mode is faster and uses fewer resources than RPRINTER mode but occupies a user login slot.
The NETGEAR print server emulates a NetWare PSERVER.
- When activated, the device:
- Logs in to specified NetWare file server(s)
- Polls the specified print queues
If there are print jobs in the print queue, the print server retrieves them from the print queue.
- Sends the received network packet data to the printer

RPRINTER mode does not use a login slot. NETGEAR recommends that PSERVER mode be used if
possible. The print server emulates a NetWare Remote Printer.
- When activated, the device:
