Types of Print Service
Before specifying print service settings, refer to the following descriptions to
determine the type of print service you are using.
NOTE
•
Normally with NetWare 4.x or later, it is recommended that you use NDS print service.
With NetWare 3.2, it is recommended that you use Bindery print service. This manual
describes procedures for these two combinations only.
•
With NetWare 5.x, you can use NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services).
For NDPS settings, see the NetWare manual.
•
With NetWare 6, you can use iPrint print service. For iPrint settings, see the NetWare
manual.
■
NDS (Novell Directory Service) and Bindery Mode
The machine network supports both the NDS and Bindery mode.
Determine the appropriate mode according to the network environment you are using. (If
you are using NetWare 3.2, only the Bindery mode is available.)
■
Queue Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode
The machine supports both the queue server mode and the remote printer mode.
•
Queue Server Mode
If the machine is used in the queue server mode, all print server functions are provided by
the machine itself; no other print server hardware or software is required. In the NDS
queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for printing. In the
Bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the Bindery print server is used for
printing. In the queue server mode, a separate NetWare user operating license is required
for each machine.
•
Remote Printer Mode
In the remote printer mode, NetWare print server is required to control the printer. The
machine prints using the NDS print server in the NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), and
the Bindery print server in the Bindery remote printer mode (RPrinter).
