Problem

Symptoms: A customer on a Novell network and wants to be able to print directly to a queue on a server that he is not attached to without attaching to it. Solutions: Basically, one print server will be servicing a queue from each of two file servers. To print to one printer from two separate servers, you must first create a print server on both file servers. The two print servers must share the same name as well as the print queues. One file server must be designated as the primary file server. Once that is done, add the second file server to the list on the first under File Servers To Be Serviced in Print Server Configuration. On the machine designated to be the print server, attach to both servers. Then from the primary server, run PSERVER SERVERNAME where SERVERNAME is the name of your server. When the configuration information for the first print server is loaded, it will recognize that it needs to search the second file server for information on the second print server. The second file server will then be searched, the queues will both be connected to the print server, and jobs sent to either queue will print from the print server. This customer was using Novell Name Service, which allows users to print to any queue in the domain without having to specify which server the queue's printer is connected to. This is not currently supported by WordPerfect. See Folio memo WP51_8957Q for more information about Novell Name Services.
