After you have created your initial printing setup with Quick Setup, you will undoubtedly want to expand or modify that setup as your printing needs change.

Creating or Modifying Print Queues

This section describes how to use PCONSOLE to create or modify print queues.

Procedure

  1. From PCONSOLE's main menu, select "Print Queues."

    A list of print queues appears.

    1. To add a queue, press <Insert>. To change a name, highlight the name; then press <F3>.

    2. To delete a queue, highlight the queue and press <Del>.

    3. To (re)configure a queue, select the desired queue name.

      Changes can be made to users, operators, and print servers for the selected queue.

      Keep in mind that queue users can submit jobs to that queue (via CAPTURE and NPRINT). Operators can manipulate all queue jobs.

      Adding print server names to the list of "Print Servers" will authorize the servicing of remote print queues.

Creating or Modifying Printers

The following procedures explain how to use PCONSOLE to create a printer and match NetWare to your hardware configuration.

Procedure

  1. From PCONSOLE's main menu select the "Printers" option.

    The "Printers" list box appears.

    1. To add a printer, press <Insert>.

    2. To delete a printer, press <Del>.

    3. To change a name, highlight the name then press <F3>.

    4. To (re)configure a printer, select the desired printer name.

      The fields most likely to need changes are "Printer Type," "Configuration," and "Print Queues Assigned."

      For new printers to work, all three of these fields must be properly set up.

  2. Select the printer to be configured.

    The "Printer Configuration" window appears.

  3. Select "Printer Type"; then select the type of printer you are using.

  4. Select "Configuration."

    The window for the printer type you selected appears.

  5. Complete the configuration fields on the screen.

    See "Configuring Printers" for a table explaining each of these fields.

  6. Press <Esc> and select "Yes" to save your changes.

  7. To assign a new printer, use PCONSOLE to associate it to a print server

    1. Select the "Print Servers" option on PCONSOLE's main screen.

    2. Select the desired print server name.

    3. Select "Printers"; then press <Insert> and browse to the desired printer.

      If the desired printer has not yet been created, press <Insert> to create a new printer.

Creating or Modifying Print Servers

This section describes the procedure when using PCONSOLE.

Procedure

  1. From PCONSOLE's main menu, select "Print Servers."

    A list of print servers appears.

    1. To add a print server, press <Insert>.

    2. To delete a server, press <Del>.

    3. To change a name, highlight the name; then press <F3>.

      Not all print server names will be valid Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) names. For example, SAP names may not exceed 47 characters, they cannot contain spaces, and they must be in all-caps. In addition, many double-byte characters used on certain code pages are not valid SAP characters. For more information, see "Service Advertising Protocol (SAP)" in Concepts.

    4. To (re)configure a print server, select the desired name.

      Changes can be made to operators, users, and properties for the selected print server.

  2. To assign a printer to a print server, use the "Print Servers" option to select the desired print server name; then select "Printers," press <Insert>, and browse to the desired printer.

Keep in mind that print server users can read that print server's status and active configuration, but only operators can manipulate those items.
