Configuring
the XNIC as a
Remote
Printer
(NetWare 4.x
NDS)
This section includes procedures for configuring the XNIC as
NPrinter in NetWare 4.x NDS network using either PConsole
in a DOS environment or NetWare Administrator (NWAdmin)
in a Windows environment.
Network
Considerations
Novell NetWare NPrinter mode requires one of the following:
PSERVER.NLM for NetWare file servers
PSERVER.EXE for a stand-alone PC-based print server
Note
NDS objects can also be defined and administered using
NetAdmin
TM
in DOS environments.
For the Print Server name, use XNExxxxxx for
XNIC-ENET and XNTxxxxxx for XNIC-TRING.
For the Printer name use XNExxxxxx
_
1
for XNIC-ENET
and XNTxxxxxx_1 for XNIC-TRING where
x x x x x x
is
the last six characters of the XNIC hardware address.
Upper and lower case are not important.
Note
To ensure optimal performance when running Remote Printer
mode in NDS, make sure PServer is disabled on the XNIC.
Refer to 5. Disabling PServer Mode (Required for Large
Networks) (page 3-46).
After configuring the XNIC RPrinter mode, and if your printer
has more than 25 file servers, it is recommended that you
configure the XNIC with the PServer name that will remotely
attach to the XNIC. Refer to 6. Setting the Remote PServer
Name for RPrinter/NPrinter (Recommended for Large
Networks) (page 3-47).
