Novell NIC Configuration (10/100Base-T)
There are no mandatory Novell settings needed before the print
server can be detected on the network. However, there can be
some mandatory settings needed before a Novell print queue can
be serviced by the NIC. These mandatory settings are covered
separately for Netware 3.x, 4.x and 5.x under the Host
Configuration heading. The NIC supports network printing under
Novell environments by using IPX. It supports all 3.x versions of
NetWare. Version 4.x and 5.x is supported under bindery emulation
only.
The print server setup in a Novell environment is much simpler than
that required in a TCP/IP one. No addresses, masks, or router
entries are necessary and, in most cases, the NIC can simply be
connected to the network, turned on, and then configured for
printing from a Novell station through PCONSOLE or Netware
Administrator.
However, there are some optional parameters you may wish to
change, such as the preferred file server(s), print server password,
polling time, frame type, print server name, NDS context, and NDS
preferred tree. The following sections describe these optional
parameters.
NDS Context
The NDS context in which the print server object was created. If
you create the printer server object in a different file server object
from the file server you logged into, then to ensure the absolute
path, you must activate the NDS context.
