Note: This procedure describes NetWare 4.x configuration using the NWAdmin utility. You can also perform network configuration using PCONSOLE; see NetWare 4.x (NDS mode). If you are running the printer in bindery emulation mode, see NetWare 3.x and 4.x in Bindery mode. For more information on configuring NetWare 4.x, refer to Novell's user documentation.

Enter the name of the directory services tree to be used in the DSTree field. This name must be the tree that was used when setting up the queue, printer, and print server with the NWAmin utility.
In the DS Context field, enter the location in the directory services tree where the print server resides. This field contains the path to the container object that holds the leaf object of the print server that the printer will connect to. The value entered must match the location selected using the NWAdmin utility.
Make sure that the Print Server Name field matches the print server object name in the NDS tree.
Click the OK button. When prompted to reset the print server, click the OK button again. After the reset, you are returned to the Configure Printer dialog box.
Note: The PhaserShare Administrator is not available to configure other settings in the printer while the printer is resetting. This is shown by the Printer Not Responding dialog box appearing with the message This printer is not responding to SNMP queries. Please check the printer and try again. Click the OK button and wait for the printer to finish resetting before proceeding.
In the Main window, click the Exit button to close the PhaserShare Administrator.
If necessary, refer to your printer's user documentation to configure the Tektronix driver to the printer's print queue.
The printer should now be servicing the print queue. Send a test print from a Windows application. If the test print fails, see Troubleshooting Windows configurations.
Note: NWAdmin always shows the status of the print server as being down. NWAdmin cannot check the status of a print server not located on the file server.
