If the print server NLM is already running on your Novell server, skip this section

and go to Section 5.6.2. Otherwise, follow these steps:

1. Login to NetWare as ADMIN, or as a user with ADMIN security equivalence.

2. Start NetWare’s PCONSOLE program.

3. If necessary, use PCONSOLE’s Change Context selection to change to the

context where you want to install the print server. If you are not sure which

context you should install the print server in, install the print server in the

context that contains the users that will be using the print server most. For

more information about contexts and other NetWare 4.x concepts, see your

NetWare manuals.

4. On a piece of paper, write down the context in which you are installing the

print server. You can read this from the Context: item at the top of

PCONSOLE’s screen. Later, you will use this information to configure the

print server.

5. Go to PCONSOLE’s Available Options menu and choose Print Servers. The

Print Servers list appears.

6. Press <Ins> to add a new print server to the list. The New Print Server Name

form appears.

7. Enter a name for the new print server and press <Enter>.
