Setting up IPX (Novell) printing
•
Setting up the server for network installation of PostScript printer drivers and
the printer’s PPDs (PostScript printer description files) on client workstations.
Setting up the NetWare server
Before configuring a NetWare file server for printing to the Colorwriter, make
sure that it is connected to a functioning IPX network.
Then, log in as the Supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare file server, and
configure the file server as described in the following sections.
Before you begin, you’ll need to determine the following names:
•
The name of the NetWare file server on which you will define the Colorwriter
as a new print server.
•
The name for the NetWare print server. This name (or the equivalent ID that
NetWare assigns) is used for communication between the Colorwriter and the
NetWare file server.
•
The name to assign to the Colorwriter Print queue. You need to set up one
print queue on the NetWare server for jobs that will be printed by the
Colorwriter. Users will see and print to the name you assign to the Colorwriter
Print queue.

:
Names should be as brief and descriptive as possible. Server names cannot
begin with a period and cannot include spaces or punctuation characters other
than periods.
•
To complete Colorwriter network setup, you will need to log in to the NetWare
file server and the new print server from the Colorwriter. You will need a login
name and, if access to the server is restricted, you will need a login password.
Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context
If your server is using NetWare 3.x,
proceed to “Setting up a Colorwriter print queue” on page 5-22.
Novell 4.x servers use a different environment setup than Novell 3.1x servers. The
native structure for Novell 4.x objects is known as Directory Services (DS). To
provide backward compatibility with Novell 3.1x services, Novell 4.x servers use
Bindery Emulation to “act” like a Novell 3.1x server.
