Assigning multiple print queues and printers

This topic explains how to assign multiple print queues and printers on NetWare Directory Services servers. You can use PCONSOLE to do the following:

• Assign multiple print queues to service a single printer

• Assign a single print queue to service multiple printers

• Assign multiple print queues to service multiple printers

• Assign printers to service print servers in available containers

1. From the Available Options menu, select Printers.

   The ``Printers'' window appears with a list of active printers.

2. Select the first printer you want a queue assigned to, highlight ``Print queues assigned'', and press <Enter>.

3. A list of print queues currently assigned to this printer appears.

   • To assign a print queue not appearing on this list to the printer, press <Ins> to browse, and select a print queue. Repeat for each print queue you want to assign to this printer.

   • You can also choose another printer and assign the same print queues to it, if you wish.

4. To assign a printer to a print server, choose a print server under ``Print Servers'', highlight ``Printers'', and press <Enter>.

   A list of printers currently assigned to this print server appears. Press <Ins> to browse and select a printer from available container objects.

   NOTE: You will need to unload and then load the print server before the printer configurations you have just assigned will take effect. See ``Using the PSERVER daemon''.
