Managing Print Services with PCONSOLE

Using PCONSOLE in Bindery Mode

You can add a NetWare Services server and NetWare Services clients to your

network and still retain your existing NetWare 3x PSERVER.EXE and

NetWare 3x environment.

• If you use PCONSOLE from NetWare Services and use bindery mode, you

define objects that a bindery-based print server knows how to access for

configuration information upon loading.

• If you use the Directory Services mode to configure the information, you define

objects that a Directory Services-based print server knows how to access for

configuration information when loading.

To change between Directory Services and bindery modes, press <F4> at the

“Available Options” menu. The last menu option in bindery mode changes

to “Change Current NetWare Server” from “Change Context.”

The “Quick Setup” option can be used to create printing objects in bindery

mode as well as Directory Services mode. For instructions on setting up

network printing in Directory Services mode with this option, see “Using

Quick Setup in PCONSOLE” in this chapter.

When you use “Quick Setup” in bindery mode, you can attach to a bindery-

based server or get a bindery attachment to a NetWare Services server.

Either way, you get the following items created and tied together:

• A print server created in SYS:SYSTEM directory of the current server, with a

hexadecimal directory (such as SYS:SYSTEM\FA010002), that contains the

following four hidden files:

PRINT.000 (printer conﬁguration information)

DESCRIPT (description information)

NOTIFY.000 (Notify list)

QUEUE.000 (queue serviced by printer information)

• A printer created in the print server subdirectory (such as, the PRINT.000 file in
