1. What do I mean by Pserver/Queue Printing?
Pserver/Queue based printing is the term use on this page use to
describe the typical NDS or Bindery queue based printing we are all used
to.
2. Can I print to a Canon printer using Pserver/Queue based
printing to a Netware 5.x box
Yes. It is possible to configure Netware 5.x for this type of
printing.
3. Does Netware 5.x support Pserver queue based printing
out of the box
No.
The following 2 issues exist
1. For Pserver/queue printing, Canon printers
require IPX. Netware 5.x uses IP as its native protocol. IPX may
have to be added.
2. There may be no native Netware application to
create these queues (IE Pconsole)
3.1 What do you mean Netware 5.x may not have IPX installed
and what do I do?
If the Netware 5.x server was upgraded from Netware 4.x, IPX protocol
may still be installed and available. It may also be
disabled. You must have the Netware Admin do this.
If this is a fresh Netware 5.x server, you must have the Netware Admin
install and correctly configure IPX protocol. You must ensure they
get the correct network number
3.2 What do you mean there may be no Netware application
available to create the queues
If the Netware 5.x server was upgraded from Netware 4.x, NWADMIN and
Pconsole should be available
If this is a fresh Netware 5.x server, their will be no Pconsole
support.
4. The Netware Admin has confirmed or correctly configured IPX on
their Netware 5.x server. I want to create NDS queues
If the customer requires a NDS queue environment, simply use NWADMIN as
usual. You can also use Pconsole. See Step 5.
5. The Netware Admin has confirmed or correctly configured IPX on
their Netware 5.x server. I want to create bindery queues.
Bindery queue creation requires the Pconsole utility. This file
should be available on Netware 5.x servers that were upgraded from
Netware 4.x
If this is a fresh Netware 5.x server and you have a licence for
Netware 4.x, you can use the following files to run Pconsole from a
workstation.
You must obtain these files from your old Netware server
(These files fit on a floppy)
Ibm_run.ovl

Pconsole.exe
Pconsole.hep
