Choosing the type of print services
Before completing print service settings, choose the type of print service. Refer to the following descriptions as needed.
Note
• In NetWare 5.1 or 6.0, NDPS may also be used as the print service. If you use NDPS, use the Novell printer gateway included
with NetWare. For details on configuring NDPS, refer to the NetWare documentation.
•
NDS (Novell Directory Service) and bindery
NDS and bindery are both supported. Use the mode that is compatible with your network environment.
•
Queue server mode and remote printer mode
Queue server mode and remote printer mode are both supported.
•
Queue server mode
When using queue server mode, all print server functions are supported, so there is no need for other print
server software or hardware. In NDS queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for
printing. In bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the bindery print server is used for printing. Note
that if you use queue server mode, a NetWare user license is required for each network interface.
•
Remote printer mode
In remote printer mode, the printer is controlled by the NetWare print server. Thus, a NetWare print server is
required. In NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), the NDS print server is used for printing, and in bindery re-
mote printer mode (RPrinter), the bindery print server is used for printing.
Using NWADMIN or PCONSOLE to set up the print server
Use NWADMIN to set up the print server if NDS queue server mode or remote printer mode is used.
