2.1 Functional Overview
Under Novell the print server is installed with the help of the PCONSOLE program as a Novell print
server. By attaching a print queue to this print server, all print jobs in this queue will be sent to the
print server.
Under TCP/IP the print server is installed as an independent host. A printer connected to the print
server may be installed either as a local printer using the FTP protocol for transferring data, or as a
network printer by using the Line Printer Daemon Protocol (LPD). All shellscripts for installing a local
printer under UNIX System V, BSD and AIX are included in the software. They will be installed as
printer interfaces and will then transfer all data to your print server.
You can install the print server as a Remote Printer by using the Line Printer Daemon Protocol (LPD)
or print directly via TCP ports.
When using Apple EtherTalk, the print server mounts the connected printer in a network to the
workstation used by the host.
Via FTP, Administration Tool, SNMP or Internet Browser you can edit all parameters necessary for
operating the print server under Novell, TCP/IP and EtherTalk.
