IB-21E NetWare Support

The IB-21E supports both NDS and bindery printing in either printer server mode or remote printer mode.

The following section gives an explanation on how to install the IB-21E for different NetWare versions. This section describes how to set up a print queue for either mode using the IB-21E NetWare Setup Wizard.

Requirements

The following items are required for installing the IB-21E in the NetWare environment.

Novell Client

Creation of the NetWare print objects with the AdminManager NetWare Setup Wizard requires the NetWare Client from Novell. For NetWare printing, clients may use the NetWare Client from either Novell or Microsoft.

Network operations concerning creating queues etc. require 'admin' or 'supervisor' privileges (or equivalent). Certain portions of AdminManager may be inoperable if you attempt those operations without sufficient' privileges. 

Quick NetWare Setup

This section provides a quick NetWare setup procedure using the IB-21E NetWare Setup Wizard. For detailed information on manual setup, refer to:  

• NetWare Printing: Manual Setup, for detailed information on NetWare Print Server mode. 
• Setting Up Remote Printer Mode, on the NetWare Printing: Manual Setup page, for detailed information on NetWare Remote Printer mode. 

You must have the IB-21 AdminManager software, supplied as part of the software utilities for the IB-21E, installed in your computer. If you have not done so, follow instructions in Installing the Software Utilities.

Start the AdminManager by selecting Start, Programs, IB-20 Tools, and AdminManager. AdminManager will search and list all IB-2x network interface cards currently active in the network.

1. Highlight the IB-21 on the list that you want to configure for NetWare printing.

2. Click or from the Setup menu, select NetWare Setup Wizard. The Create NetWare Print Queue wizard starts.

3. Click Next. Select NDS mode or Bindery mode. 

• NetWare 4.x and 5.x support NetWare Directory Services (NDS) printing. Bindery based printing is also available for NetWare 4.x and 5.x for backwards compatibility with previous versions of NetWare clients, however.

• NetWare 3.x does not support NDS, therefore, you must select bindery mode.

4. Click Next. 

• If you have selected NDS mode in the previous step, select the NDS Context where the print objects will be created. From the root (shown as 'KYOCERA_GROUP' below), open containers downwards until you reach the context which will contain the print server, e.g. 'Service.'

Figure 1. Specifying NDS Context

• If you have selected Bindery mode in the previous step, select the File Server on which you want to create the queue.

5. Click Next. Select Print Server Mode or Remote Printer Mode. 

The Quick Setup Wizard supports the following:

• NetWare 4.x and 5.x NDS: Print Server Mode or Remote Printer Mode

• NetWare 4.x and 5.x Bindery: Print Server Mode only

• NetWare 3.x Bindery: Print Server Mode or Remote Printer Mode

6. Click Next. A dialog including Printer Server Name, Printer Name, Queue Name, and Queue Volume is displayed. Note that Queue Volume is listed only if you have selected NDS Mode in step 3. If desired, you can rename Printer Server Name, Printer Name, and Queue Name by directly typing in the field. (However, in Remote Printer mode the Print Server Name may not be entered directly. You must select an existing Print Server.)

7. Click Next. The Confirm Configuration Changes screen is displayed.

8. Click Next. The NetWare print objects are created. 

9. Click Finish.
