CHAPTER 5: Novell NetWare Printing
IMPORTANT
Observe the following points concerning the print server’s name:
• Do not use more than 19 characters in the print server’s name.
PCONSOLE allows you to enter print server names longer that this, but
the print server does not support names longer than 19 characters.
• Do not use spaces in the print server name. Use dashes or
underscores instead. PCONSOLE allows spaces in the print server
name, but the print server does not support this. However, you can use
spaces in the names of the queues or printer objects.
After a moment, PCONSOLE returns to the Print Servers list. The new print server
appears in the list.
5.4.2 A DDING P RINTER O BJECTS
Perform the procedures below to associate NetWare printer objects with the
printers connected to the print server's ports. Do this when installing a new print
server, or when connecting a new printer to the print server to service NetWare
print queues.
1. If you haven’t already done so, start PCONSOLE, and change to the context
where the print server is installed.
2. In the Print Servers list, select the print server and press <Enter>. The Print
Server Information menu appears.
3. In the Print Server Information menu, select Printers and press <Enter>. The
Serviced Printers list appears.
4. Press <Ins> to insert a new printer into the print server’s Serviced Printers list.
The Object, Class list appears.
5. Navigate the Object, Class list to the context where the printer object resides,
or where you want to install a new printer object. This should be the context
where the majority of the printer’s users reside.
6. If the printer you want to add to the Serviced Printer list does not exist yet,
press <Ins> to add a new printer to the Object, Class list. PCONSOLE
prompts you for a name, then adds the new printer to the Object, Class list.
7. In the Object, Class list, select a printer to add to the print server’s Serviced
Printers list. If you just added a new printer to the Object, Class list, select that
new printer. Then press <Enter>. The new printer appears in the print
server’s Serviced Printers list.
