Using Bindery Print Server (NetWare 3.1x/4.1x)

Configuring for NetWare using EpsonNet WinAssist

This section contains instructions on using the Internal Print Server in Print Server mode under NetWare 3.1x and 4.1x with Bindery emulation.

Configuring for NetWare using EpsonNet WinAssist

Configure the Internal Print Server using EpsonNet WinAssist.

Note:

Novell Client32 or Novell IntranetWare Client must be installed in your computer. Do not use Novell Client for Windows 95/98 version 3.00 or Novell Client for Windows NT version 4.50.

Turn on the printer.

From any NetWare client, log in to the target NetWare server with supervisor privileges. You must log in with bindery connection.

Run EpsonNet WinAssist from the Start menu.

Click IPX. Select the printer you want to configure from the list, then click Configuration.

Note:

If you have connected more than one printer with the same type of print server to the network, you can distinguish between the printers by the MAC address.

If the IP address is set to the default IP address, the printer model may not appear.

If printers do not appear in the IPX group, check that the printer is turned on. If it is on, check that the printer is in the same segment as the computer.

You can search printers in other segments by setting the Search Options (IPX) in the Tool menu in EpsonNet WinAssist. See the online help for more information.

Click the NetWare tab to make the settings.
