NetWare Services provides two core utilities for configuring
and managing your network print services: NetWare Administrator
and PCONSOLE. NetWare Administrator is a graphical utility available
on Windows workstations and PCONSOLE is a NetWare menu utility available
from the DOS prompt. The utility you select depends primarily on
your printing environment needs and your own software preferences.
In addition, several supplemental utilities are provided for managing
specific printing needs; these are described in the following sections. If you are most comfortable with Windows applications, you
can use NetWare Administrator on a Windows system. And, if you're
accustomed to NetWare printing utilities, you may want to use the
DOS utility PCONSOLE. The following table describes each utility and points you
to the relevant chapter in this book. Table 1-1 NetWare
Services Print Configuration Utilities Utility/Location | Tasks |

In addition to the three core printing utilities, NetWare
Services provides several supplemental utilities, designed to meet
specific printing needs for users on DOS, Windows, Win 95, or NT
workstations. These utilities are not available for HP-UX clients. The following table describes these utilities. Table 1-2 Supplemental
Printing Utilities Utility | Tasks |

NetWare
User Tools (Windows, Win 95, NT) | Enables
users to access network resources, map drives, set up printing,

connecting and disconnecting print queues, and making print queue
connections permanent. For information on the NetWare
Tools, see NetWare Client for DOS and Windows User Guide. | CAPTURE
