8.4 PCL
Printing PCL jobs requires an 8-bit clean data path between the NetWare file server and the printer. When
printing via the serial port, use hardware flow control. In addition, enable the Binary attribute on the service
being used.
Figure 8-41: Enabling Binary
8.5 PostScript
PostScript printing from NetWare requires that the PostScript attribute be enabled on the print service.

8.6 Troubleshooting
8.6.1 QINST Print Queue Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting section assumes the Novell queue was created using the QINST utility. If the queue
was created manually using PCONSOLE, either delete the queue and re-create it using QINST or verify the
steps in the Creating Bindery Print Queues with QINST section.

Things to Check
Suggestion
Verify that the server name appears and
that it matches the server and service
names.
Try PCONSOLE. (If you are using NetWare 4.0, use the F4
key to enter bindery emulation mode.)
Verify that the NetWare access table will
allow access to the specified file server.
By default, only local (non-routed) file servers are scanned
for queues. See Access Lists on page 8-1 for more informa-
tion on manipulating the NetWare access lists.
Verify that the login password on the
ETS and the queue password on the file
server match.
If necessary, change the password on the ETS. Unless the
passwords match, the ETS will not be able to log into file
servers to scan for jobs.
Look for poor printing performance in
general.
If there is a significant delay between NetWare jobs, the delay
may be a result of scanning too many file servers. This delay
is often increased if the file servers are distributed across a
wide area network. Configure the NetWare access list to only
allow scanning for jobs on the file servers of interest. To con-
figure the NetWare access list, see Access Lists on page 8-1.
