5-1 Support for Fiery utilities This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network Chapter 5: servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that share printing to Setting up the ColorPASS. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols Network Servers for communicating with the ColorPASS.
5-2 Setting up Network Servers ColorPASS on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS The ColorPASS supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the ColorPASS takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the ColorPASS supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services).
5-3 ColorPASS on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS Configuring a NetWare 5.x server for printing Before you begin The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5 installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS.

In the Select Printer Drivers dialog box, select the printer driver for Windows 95/98/Me and the driver for Windows NT 4.0/2000.
5-6 Setting up Network Servers Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the ColorPASS is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The following information is useful for experienced network administrators. The ColorPASS with IPX connections has these characteristics: •...
5-7 ColorPASS on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however you should reboot the ColorPASS after a queue is created or removed. When the ColorPASS is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues.

5-9 ColorPASS on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network Setting up an NDS connection In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context which defines the location of the object in the directory tree.
Page 130
5-10 Setting up Network Servers Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery For NetWare 3.x and for 4.x in emulation, the NetWare print server and print queue for ColorPASS are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory. As with NDS, first you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you select them in Network Setup (see page 3-27).
5-11 ColorPASS on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 ColorPASS on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is configured to connect to the ColorPASS using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the ColorPASS. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0/2000 and Windows 95/98/Me clients.
5-12 Setting up Network Servers • Make sure the ColorPASS name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system. • Make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the ColorPASS as a remote printer.

5-13 ColorPASS on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 Adding the ColorPASS to the TCP/IP network If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0 servers, Windows NT 4.0 clients, and Windows 2000 clients, use the directions in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also refer to the directions on page 5-19.

5-14 Setting up Network Servers Installing the ColorPASS as a shared printer The first step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver files, which give your applications access to printer features. The installation instructions in Getting Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the ColorPASS.

5-18 Setting up Network Servers ColorPASS on a network with UNIX workstations When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol, and connected to the ColorPASS over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the ColorPASS. Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.
5-19 ColorPASS on a network with UNIX workstations Important note about the remote printer name Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for remote printer (or file) in configuring the ColorPASS must be one of the following /etc/printcap print hold The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Windows NT 4.0 Server, or Windows 2000 Professional to connect to...
