NetWare (NDS and Bindery)  B1f

Setting Up the NetWare Server

NDS - Set up a Print Server object, Print Queue object, and Printer object in the appropriate Context (NDS Tree) using NetWare Administrator, NetAdmin, or PCONSOLE. Refer to the documentation supplied by Novell (www.novell.com) to complete this task. For later use in setting up the printer, record precisely (observing upper and lower case, dot notation, etc.) the following items used in setting up objects on the server: NDS Tree, NDS Context Name, Print Server Name, Print Server password. Note that if the printer services queues on multiple file servers, the Print Server name and password must be the same on all the file servers.

Bindery - Set up a Print Server, Queue, and Printer Configuration on the Primary (File) Server using PCONSOLE. Refer to the documentation supplied by Novell (www.novell.com) to complete this task. For later use in setting up the printer, record precisely (observing upper and lower case, punctuation, etc.) the following items: the File (Primary) Server name, Print Server name, Print Server password, and the Queue name assigned. Note that if the printer services queues on multiple file servers, the Print Server name and password must be the same on all the file servers.
