6. Fill in the Print Queue Volume field by typing in a volume or
browsing for one. Click Create.
7. Click the right mouse button on a branch in the tree in which
you would like to create a printer object.
8. Select Create... from the pop-up menu. The New Object
dialogue displays.
9. Select Printer from the Class of new object list and click OK.
10. Type the name of the printer in the Printer name field.
NOTE: The Printer object name must match one of the destination
names on the NIC. Most likely, this will be d1prn.
In NDS, a printer object can only be attached to one print server
object at a given time, because Novell uses the printer object to
represent a physical printer. A physical printer can only be attached
to one parallel or serial port at a time. Thus, if you assign a printer
object to another print server object, the new print server object will
take it from the old one (this also happens with non-NIC print server
objects).
To properly process print jobs sent to the NIC, the printer object
created in Novell must refer to the destination on this server and not
to the actual physical printer. On the NIC, print jobs must pass
through an extra layer (a “destination”) before being sent on to the
printer.
If you are using multiple print servers, you will have to either
rename all your destinations to ensure that no printer object names
conflict or keep all the printer objects for one print server in a
different context than those for the other print server.
11. Select Define additional properties and click Create.
12. Click Assignments in the dialogue that pops up and click
Add....
13. Select the queue you defined earlier or browse for a different
one.
14. Click OK to assign the queue to the printer.
15. Click OK to close the Printers Details dialog and make the
changes permanent.
