NetWare Print Service Settings
To print using a NetWare network, you need to specify print service settings, including print server and queue settings. You can use the software listed below to specify the print service settings from your computer. This section describes the procedure for specifying the settings using NWADMIN or PCONSOLE.
NWADMIN or PCONSOLE (Novell software provided with NetWare)
Canon utilities
Before specifying print service settings, refer to the following descriptions to determine the type of print service you are using.
NDS (Novell Directory Service) and Bindery Mode
The machine network supports both the NDS and Bindery mode. Determine the appropriate mode according to the network environment you are using. (If you are using NetWare 3.2, only the Bindery mode is available.)
Queue Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode
The machine supports both the queue server mode and the remote printer mode.
Queue Server Mode
If the machine is used in the queue server mode, all print server functions are provided by the machine itself; no other print server hardware or software is required. In the NDS queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for printing. In the Bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the Bindery print server is used for printing. In the queue server mode, a separate NetWare user operating license is required for each machine.
Remote Printer Mode
In the remote printer mode, NetWare print server is required to control the printer. The machine prints using the NDS print server in the NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), and the Bindery print server in the Bindery remote printer mode (RPrinter).

IMPORTANT
To specify the print service settings from NWADMIN, the computer must have Novell Client (NetWare Client by Novell) installed.
The following procedures describe a sample NetWare setup. Depending on your environment, the actual setup procedure may differ.
NOTE
Normally with NetWare 4.x or later, it is recommended that you use NDS print service. With NetWare 3.2, it is recommended that you use Bindery print service. This category describes procedures for these two combinations only.
With NetWare 5.x, you can use NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For NDPS settings, see the NetWare manual.
With NetWare 6, you can use the iPrint print service. For iPrint settings, see the NetWare manual.
