NetWare 4.1/9000 Print Services

5-14
Setting Up and Servicing Print Servers
Using Third-Party Network-Direct Print Devices with NetWare Services
direct print devices assume that this group exists in NetWare Services. For these
devices, make sure that group EVERYONE is a user of the affected queue. You
may need to create this group in the context where the printer is defined before
the device will be able to communicate with the network.
• Some network-direct devices require a running print server before you can
configure for remote-printer mode.
Because the communication protocol between print servers and network-direct
devices running in remote printer mode did not change in NetWare Services, the
running print server can be a NetWare for UNIX 3 print server.
• Some of the utilities provided with these print devices can only be operated with
the SUPERVISOR right and do not recognize Supervisor equivalents. You will
need to log in as SUPERVISOR in bindery mode rather than logging in as
ADMIN in Directory Services mode.
• Some devices include a remote printer configuration utility that requires you to
complete duplicate configuration steps. In such cases, you should first define the
remote printer in the NetWare Services PCONSOLE utility, and then define the
printer again using the third party utility.
As a result of these duplicate steps, you may end up with unused NetWare 3
printer configuration files on the NetWare Services server.
