Technical information

5Select the printer you want to configure.
You can identify the printer from the NetWare printer name that is printed on
the printer’s startup page.
IMPORTANT After the printer is turned on, it advertises itself on the NetWare
network for five minutes only to reduce network traffic. If you don’t see your
printer’s name in the list of printers, turn the printer off and back on. Make
sure the NetWare file server is running, and verify that the NetWare file
server and the printer are using the same Ethernet frame type. If the Ethernet
frame types do not match, see “Connecting to a Network Printer Manually”
in Appendix A. See also “Novell NetWare Troubleshooting” in Chapter 12.
6Select the printer you want, then click Configure.
7Enter the PSERVER name.
Use the same printer name you used in PCONSOLE (if you are not using the
default name).
8Enter the same NetWare password that you entered with PCONSOLE.
9Enter the names of file servers that the printer will service.
10 Click Add.
11 Click OK.
12 Enter the queue scan time.
The queue scan time is the number of milliseconds that the printer will wait
before checking each file server that it can access.
13 Click Send.
Restarting the printer
1 Turn the printer off and then back on again.
2Send a print job to the printer to ensure it is working.
What to do next: The next section covers setting up the printer as a remote
printer. If you want to assign a password on the server, see “Step 3: Assigning
a Password for the Print Server (Optional).” Otherwise, see “Step 4: Setting
Up the PostScript Printer Driver for NetWare Clients.”
