4. Use the NetWare Administrator to create the printer, print server and queue 

objects in the NDS tree and then link them together. The 

Quick Setup (Non-NDPS) utility can be used for this. Go to Tools in the 

NetWare Administrator.

5. Use the Add Printer Wizard on your work station to install the printer on 

your client. Note that only NDS queue based PSERVER printing is supported. 
When installing, choose 

Network Printer and browse to the queue you have 

just created. Alternatively, choose 

Local Printer and select the queue you 

have just captured.

Any configuration and management of the Axis Network Print Server can 

be performed from any standard Web browser. Please refer to “Using a 

If both the IPX and IP protocols are enabled in your network and the print 

server uses DUAL_STACK (enabled by default) as its network transport 

protocol, then IPX will be chosen. To force the print server to use the IP 

transport protocol, go to your print server’s Web interface and choose 

Admin | Detailed View | NetWare and change the NetWare Transport 

Protocol from DUAL_STACK to IP_ONLY. Save and exit when finished.

The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of the 

two supported queue-based printing methods.

Print Server Mode

The Axis Network Print Server logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly 

polls the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the Axis Network 

Print Server emulates a NetWare print server, which is a workstation 

running PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network load 

and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each 

print server in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user licence.

Advantages

•

High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s

Limitations

•

In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user licence 
for each Axis Network Print Server to file server link.

Remote Printer Mode

The Axis Network Print Server acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM 

running on the NetWare file server, or to a dedicated workstation running 

PSERVER.EXE. In this fashion, the Axis Network Print Server emulates a 

workstation running the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or 

NPRINTER. This mode is only recommended for small networks where the 

number of NetWare user licences is a major issue.

Advantages

•

NetWare user licences are not required.

Pure IP requires that you run NetWare 5 or higher.
