Connecting a local printer to a NetWare print server (Nprinter)

Use this procedure to make your local printer available to NetWare users. When you connect a local UnixWare system printer to a NetWare print queue, print jobs sent to that queue can be serviced by the local printer. You should only make one local printer available for use by any given NetWare queue. Otherwise, print jobs could print out on any available, local printer and users might have difficulty finding their printouts.

1. In the Printer Setup Manager, select the printer from the main list and select Printer Nprinter.

2. Enter the name of the NetWare Server that contains print servers that can route jobs to your printer, or use the Select button to choose from a list. If you are not already logged into the server, a NetWare login screen is displayed; enter the login and password when prompted. If the server is a NetWare 4.x server, you can also enter a NetWare Directory Services (NDS) context.

3. Enter the Netware Print Server name or use the Select button to choose from a list.

4. Enter the NetWare Print Queue name or use the Select button to choose from a list. This must be set up on the NetWare system as a NetWare print queue.
