Unloading print servers

A print server can be created in PCONSOLE, but it must be started at the NetWare Services server. However, an active (Status: Running) print server can be downed, or unloaded, from PCONSOLE with the following procedure.

If the ``Unload'' option is not activated, the print server may not be running. If it is running, you are not designated as an operator for that print server. In order to proceed, a designated print server operator must be logged in to the workstation you are using.

1. From the Available Options menu, select Print Servers.

   A list of available print servers is displayed.

2. Select the name of the print server you want to unload.

   The Print Server Information menu is displayed.

3. Select Information and Status.

   The ``Current server status:'' field should indicate that the print server is ``Running''. If it is not, you cannot unload it.

4. Select the ``Running'' status field.

5. Do one of the following:

   • Select ``Going down after current print jobs'' if you want a print job already being printed to be completed before the print server goes down.

     Other jobs in the queue will remain in the queue until the print server is reloaded or they are manually deleted.

   • Select ``Down'' if you want the print server to go down immediately.

     Any jobs in the queue will remain in the queue until the print server is reloaded or they are manually deleted.
