User’s Manual InterCon-PrintServer

Bindery:

The first file server detected by the Nearest Query Request answers

this signal. The print server then looks into the bindery of this file

server to look for any other file servers. Network configuration

information is saved in the binderies generated by the Novell file

servers. The protocol type of the first file server which contacted the

print server determines the protocol type for print servers in the whole

network environment. However, the protocol used can be assigned by

the user using the configuration software.

You can select which file server should be contacted by the print

server by using the configuration software. However, the print server

can then only connect to the file servers entered in the file server list.

NDS:

In contrast to the bindery services, the allocations between the objects

can be requested directly in the hierarchic NDS System. Every NDS

server knows all the objects of its own NDS tree. All NDS servers

listed in the SAP table are examined in the order they appear in the

SAP table until an NDS server locates an object that knows the name

of the print server.

Using the print server object, all related printer objects and therefore

all queues can be directly determined from the attribute values. A

queue can be found via several printer objects and therefore be

assigned to different logical printers.

More than one login to different NDS servers may be necessary (one

chosen NDS server, only those NDS servers will be contacted that

contain attribute data of the objects configured for the print server.
