Chapter 12. LAN-to-LAN Printing When you print with Integration for NetWare, you use the standard NetWare print support. NetWare uses a print queue, a print server, and a printer to allow workstations to print to a network printer. The print queue is the object that temporarily holds the print job file until the job is printed. The print server provides the service of sending the print job to the printer. The print server monitors the print queue and the printer. You can print from the NetWare server on an Integrated PC Server to printers in your NetWare network using the standard NetWare print support. To set up NetWare print support, see "NetWare Printing". You cannot print from a NetWare server to an AS/400 printer. However, there are other facilities to provide this support, such as HostPrint/400. You can print from AS/400 to a NetWare printer if you have Enhanced Integration for NetWare installed. See Chapter 20. "AS/400-to-NetWare Printing" for more information. Figure 12-1 illustrates a simple printing environment you might have when the NetWare server is on an Integrated PC Server. Figure 12-1. AS/400 Printing Environment
In this environment, the PC (1) requests print services from the NetWare server on the Integrated PC Server. Data is sent to the NetWare print queue (2). The NetWare server acts as the print server and monitors the print queue as well as the printer. When the printer can process the job, the server sends the print job to the assigned printer (3). To print from the NetWare server, set up your NetWare print support
first, as described in "NetWare Printing".
You can use either the NetWare NWADMIN or PCONSOLE utility to create NetWare print server, printer, and print queue objects. Setting Up Printing Using NWADMIN To create a print server, printer, and print queue on the NetWare server using the NWADMIN utility:
To create a print server, printer, and print queue on the NetWare server by using the PCONSOLE utility:

You cannot cable a printer directly to the Integrated PC Server to use as a print server. After you create the NetWare print server, printer, and print queue, you can work with output queues.
If you want to use more than one print queue on the NetWare server, use the following procedure after you have created the first print server, print queue, and printer: To create additional print queues:

If your print server is active, the additional queue you added is not shown. You must select the queue.
