Terms and Concepts
The
master file server
stores data required for the Ethernet Card to
operate as a print server. Each Ethernet Card print server has
one master file server, which you designate during initial setup.
A
queue
is a directory on a file server where a print job is
stored as a file, until the print server sends the job to the assigned
printer.
A
print server
moves jobs from print queues to printers.
A
remote printer
is a shared printer connected elsewhere on the
network, but under the control of a NetWare print server.
Traditionally a remote printer is connected to a network
workstation running NetWare’s RPRINTER.EXE, but the Ethernet
Card can also function as a remote printer.
A
configuration report
prints each time the Ethernet Card is reset.
If the Ethernet Card is installed as a print server, the
configuration report lists the print server name, master file
server, and queue assignments. If the Ethernet Card is installed
as a remote printer, the configuration report lists the unit’s
serial number and the print server the Ethernet Card operates
under.
A
diagnostic report
prints only in the event of a problem. The
diagnostic report contains information helpful in resolving
problems.
