Configuring NetWare Print Services. D-Link AirPlus DP-G310, PS Admin

Print Server Administration User’s Guide

Form types can be defined with the NetWare PCONSOLE program. Each of the different kinds of paper that a printer might contain can be assigned a different form type, and print jobs can be configured to request the type of form they need. For more information about form types, consult your NetWare documentation.

Configuring NetWare Print Services

For convenience, the PS Admin program provides many of the same NetWare print services administration features as NetWare’s

PCONSOLE or the NetWare Windows-based administration tools.

The PS Admin program allows you to conveniently manage

NetWare Bindery-based print queues, printers, and print servers on any of your NetWare file servers.

Note that for managing print services on servers using NDS

(NetWare Directory Services), you will need to use Novellprovided administration programs.

Managing Print Queues

Selecting Print Queues... from the PS Admin NetWare menu displays the NetWare Print Queues dialog window.

Print Server Administration User’s Guide

From the Assign Operators tab, you can determine what users are allowed to operate the queue. Queue operators are allowed to edit other user’s print jobs, delete print jobs, change the order of print jobs, and modify the queue status.

From the Assign Users tab, you can determine who is allowed to use the printer. For NetWare 3.x servers, normally the group

EVERYONE, of which all users are members, is assigned to the queue users list. This means that all users can send jobs to the queue. If you want to restrict the use of the print queue, you can remove the group EVERYONE and add a smaller group, or you can add individual users. For NetWare 4.x servers, you will need to create such a group manually.
