Creating or modifying printers

The following procedures explain how to use PCONSOLE to create a printer and match NetWare to your hardware configuration.

1. From PCONSOLE's main menu select the ``Printers'' option.

   The ``Printers'' list box appears.

   • To add a printer, press <Ins>.

   • To delete a printer, press <Del>.

   • To change a name, highlight the name then press <F3>.

   • To (re)configure a printer, select the desired printer name.

     The fields most likely to need changes are ``Printer Type'', ``Configuration'', and ``Print Queues Assigned''.

     For new printers to work, all three of these fields must be properly set up.

2. Select the printer to be configured.

   The ``Printer Configuration'' window appears.

3. Select ``Printer Type''; then select the type of printer you are using.

4. Select ``Configuration''.

   The window for the printer type you selected appears.

5. Complete the configuration fields on the screen.

   See ``Configuring printers'' for a table explaining each of these fields.

6. Press <Esc> and select Yes to save your changes.

7. To assign a new printer, use PCONSOLE to associate it to a print server:

   • Select the ``Print Servers'' option on PCONSOLE's main screen.

   • Select the desired print server name.

   • Select ``Printers''; then press <Ins> and browse to the desired printer.

     If the desired printer has not yet been created, press <Ins> to create a new printer.
