Set up NetWare print support

To set up NetWare print support, you need to create a print server, printer, and print queue on the NetWare server. To do this, you use the NWADMIN utility:

1. Log in to the NetWare server as user ADMIN.
2. Double-click the NetWare Administrator icon to get to the NetWare Administrator window.
3. Click the organization or organizational unit where you want to create the printer, print queue, and print server objects. (For example, the organizational unit could be the integrated file system.)

Create the print queue.

4. Click Object from the menu and then click Create...
5. Scroll down the list and then double-click Print Queue to see the Create Print Queue display.
6. Click the radio button to refer to a bindery queue.
7. Type the Print Queue Name and the Print Queue Volume. You can click the box next to the Print Queue Volume field to list valid volumes. Click CREATE to create the queue.

Create the printer object.

8. Click Object from the menu and then click Create...
9. Scroll down the list and then double-click Printer to see the Create Printer display.
10. Type the printer name, select Define Additional Properties, then click CREATE.
11. Select Assignments; then click ADD for list of available queues. Select queue; then double-click or select OK. Select OK again to create the printer object.

Create the print server.

12. Once again, click Object from the menu; then click Create...
13. Scroll down the list and then double-click Print Server to get the Create Print Server display.
14. Type the print server name, select Define Additional Properties, and then click CREATE.
15. Click ADD for list of available printers. Select printer; then double-click or select OK to confirm your selection.

Once you have created a print server, printer, and print queue, you need to start the print server function. If you want to use multiple print queues on the NetWare server, read how to create additional print queues.
