IB-2x NetWare Support

The IB-2x supports both NDS and Bindery printing in either Print Server mode or Remote Printer mode.

The following section gives an explanation on how to install the IB-2x for each NetWare version and describes how to set up a print queue for each method using the IB-2x NetWare Setup Wizard.

Requirements

Novell Client Required

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 the IB-2x 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-2x NetWare Setup Wizard. For detailed information on manual setup, refer to:  

• NetWare Print Server Setup: Print Server Mode, for detailed information on NetWare Print Server mode. 
• NetWare Print Server Setup: Remote Printer Mode, for detailed information on NetWare Remote Printer mode. 

You must have the IB-2x AdminManager software installed in your computer. If you have not done so, see Installing the IB-2x AdminManager.

Start the IB-2x AdminManager from Windows Start>Programs>IB-20 Tools>AdminManager. AdminManager will display a list of all IB-2x interface cards available on the network.

1. Highlight the IB-2x interface card 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. For backwards compatibility with previous versions of NetWare clients, bindery based printing is also supported for NetWare 4.x and 5.x.  

• 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.)
