NetWare print services has a dialog for each of the three types of printing objects: Print Queue, Printer, and Print Server.

You access printing objects using the same method used for other objects in the browser.

If you specify changes in several pages and decide you do not want to keep some of the changes, remember the following:

  1. You must manually delete unwanted information from the fields.

  2. If you choose "Cancel," you can choose whether you want to save changes. If you choose not to save changes, you'll lose the changes you want to keep in the other pages.

WARNING! Because the pages are all part of one dialog, do not choose "OK" or "Cancel" until you are finished with all pages and are ready to close the object dialog.

Like other NetWare Directory Services leaf objects, you can move, delete, or rename printing objects.

You cannot copy NetWare Directory Services objects, but you can create aliases to reference objects in other contexts. See "Creating Leaf Objects" in Chapter 1 of Supervising the Network or "Alias Object" in Concepts.

Moving Printing Objects

To move an object, select the object in the browser and choose "Move" from the "Object" menu, or hold down <Ctrl> while dragging a leaf object and dropping it onto another container.

When an object is moved, the name is changed to reflect the new context.

Moving an object is like changing part of the object's complete name or like changing its context.

When you move an object, all references and assignments to the object are automatically changed as well.

Viewing the Assignments for Printing Objects

The "Assignments" pages for the Print Queue, Printer, and Print Server object dialogs show the current assignments for those printing objects. Use the following steps to view printing assignments.

Procedure

  1. Select the printing object you want to view in the browser.

    The dialog for that object appears.

  2. Select the "Assignments" page, as shown in the following figure.

Renaming Printing Objects

When you rename an object, all references and assignments to the object are automatically changed as well.

To use rename, select an object in the browser and choose "Rename" from the "Object" menu. If you select the option to "save the old name," it is stored as a value in the "Other Names" property.

Deleting Printing Objects

When you delete an object, all references and assignments to the object are automatically deleted as well. Delete cannot be undone.

To use delete, select an object in the browser and choose "Delete" from the "Object" menu.
