8.3 Printing
The ETS can process NetWare print jobs either as a printserver (pserver) or via rprinter. When using the
pserver method, the ETS logs into a file server and then queries the server for pending print jobs that it can
service. When using the rprinter method, the ETS dedicates the printer to a particular file server; the printer
is not usable by other file servers or protocols. The significant benefit of the rprinter method is that rprinter
does not use a login slot on the file server (pserver does).
Note:
The pserver login uses the ETS name and login password to log into the file
server. If the default login password is changed, NetWare print queue setups
must also be changed to reflect the new password.
Printing can be configured in one of five ways. The first four methods configure the ETS services as pserver
devices, while the fourth covers rprinter setup.
Pserver configurations can be made via PCONSOLE’s Quick Setup utility. To use PCONSOLE Quick
Setup you must be running NetWare version 4.0 or greater with NDS enabled. Three basic steps are
involved: NDS licensing, print server configuration, and print queue configuration.
Pserver configuration can also be made via the NetWare Administrator Quick Setup option. To use this
option, you must be running NetWare version 4.0 or greater with NDS enabled.
The preferred pserver configuration method for Bindery print queues is to use the QINST utility. It will
interactively prompt you for the names of the file server, the name of the print queue to create, and the ETS
name and service names to use.
