Print Server Administration

User’s Guide

About This Guide

This User’s Guide describes the operation of the PS Admin

program, which can be used to conveniently configure and manage

your print server from any personal computer running the

Windows 3.1x, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows NT 3.51,

Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Windows 95 or later operating

systems. Once your print server is configured, you can use it for

printing from any Novell NetWare, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, or

Microsoft network.

This Guide also describes the telnet interface, which you can

use to configure your print server without the use of a Windows-

based PC.

What’s Not Covered in This User’s Guide

This User’s Guide concentrates on the software setup and

management of your print server. Information about how to

connect the print server to the network, to power, and to your

printer(s), is covered in the print server’s hardware User’s Guide.

Contents of the User’s Guide

This User’s Guide is divided into three parts:

Part I gives an overview of your print server and of the

Windows-based PS Admin program you can use to manage it.

Part II covers the initial steps you will need to take to set up

your print server, configure it for printing from various

network systems, and allow client workstations to use it to

print documents.

Part III covers daily administration tasks, how to

troubleshoot problems with your print server, and how to use

the telnet interface.

Introduction

This chapter introduces the printing and administration features of

the print server products, and of the PS Admin program that you

can use to set up and administer print server.

Background on Print Servers

Before personal computer networking became common, users who

wanted to print from their personal computers needed to have a

directly-connected printer. As laser printers became common, it

became too expensive for each user to have a dedicated printer,

and some form of print sharing became even more necessary.

The simplest form of print sharing involves a switch box:

Print Server Administration User’s Guide

4Introduction

A switch box can make it more convenient for two or more users

to share a single printer, but it requires long print cables unless the

two users are close together. The users also have to coordinate

their printing, which becomes difficult if more than two computers

share a printer.

Server-based network operating systems (such as Novell NetWare)

make it possible for a larger number of users to share printers.

When a workstation user prints a document, network software on

the workstation takes a file of instructions for the printer and stores

them in a print queue on the server. The server takes each job in

the print queue and sends it to the printer, which is either attached

to the server itself or to one of the workstations on the network.

This arrangement allows a large number of people to share printers,

and makes it possible to centrally manage the printers and their

print queues.

This method has several disadvantages, however:
