4-1 Fiery X3 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share
printing to the Fiery X3. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP
protocols for communicating with the Fiery X3. In addition, it includes some
guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations
and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines
the requirements for network clients to print to the Fiery X3 and to run the Fiery
utilities and the Fiery WebTools.
The Fiery X3 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and
AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT or UNIX
workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not
discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0 environment (see
“Fiery X3 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0” on page 4-11).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, proceed to page 4-11. For information
on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 4-18.
Fiery X3 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS
The Fiery X3 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the
TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery X3 takes
advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services), using the Novell
Gateway version 2.0.3 or later and Support Pack version 3.0 or later. For IPX printing,
the Fiery X3 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS
(Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see
“Fiery X3 on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x network” on page 4-4.
NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active
cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
