NetWare Print Service Settings
To print using a NetWare network, you need to specify the print service settings,
which includes the print server and queue settings. You can use any of the software
programs listed below to specify the print service settings from your computer.
Specify these settings using the easiest method.
• NetSpot (Canon software provided with the optional Network Kit III)
• NWADMIN or PCONSOLE (Novell software provided with NetWare)
IMPORTANT
• To specify the print service settings from NetSpot or NWADMIN, the computer must have
Novell Client (NetWare Client by Novell) installed.
• The following procedures explain a sample NetWare setup procedure. Depending on
your system environment, the actual setup procedure may be different.
Print Services
Before specifying the print service settings, refer to the information described below
to determine the type of print service you are using.
NOTE
• Usually with NetWare 4.x or later, it is recommended that you use the NDS (Novell
Directory Services) print service. With NetWare 3.x, it is recommended that you use the
Bindery print service. This manual describes procedures for these two print services only.
• With NetWare 5.x, you can use NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). If you want to
use NDPS, the gateway should be the Novell printer gateway provided with NetWare.
This manual does not describe NDPS settings. For NDPS settings, see the NetWare
manual.
• NDPS settings are not available for use with NetSpot, use NWADMIN to specify these
settings.
■ NDS (Novell Directory Service) and Bindery Mode
This machine supports both NDS and the Bindery print service.
Determine the appropriate mode according to the network environment you are using. (If
you are using NetWare 3.x, only the Bindery mode is available.)
