NetWare Services provides two core utilities for configuring and managing your network print services: NetWare Administrator, and PCONSOLE. NetWare Administrator is a graphical utility available on Windows and OS/2 workstations; and PCONSOLE is a NetWare menu utility available from the DOS prompt. The utility you select depends primarily on your printing environment needs and your own software preferences. In addition, several supplemental utilities are provided for managing specific printing needs.
If you are most comfortable with Windows applications, you can use NetWare Administrator on a Windows or OS/2 system. And, if you're accustomed to NetWare printing utilities, you may want to use the DOS utility PCONSOLE.
The following table describes each utility and points you to the relevant topic within the documentation:
