Creating Configurations

Use the following procedure in NetWare® Administrator to create a new configuration based on the current Default Configuration.

  1. In NetWare Administrator, select the Novell® Distributed Print ServicesTM (NDPSTM) Printer object for which you want to create a configuration.

    The Printer Details page for that printer appears.

  2. Click the Configuration button.

    The Configuration dialog appears. The Printer Configurations window in that dialog lists the Default Printer Configuration and any other configurations that have been created for this printer in NetWare Administrator.

  3. Click Create.

    The Name Configuration dialog appears.

  4. Enter the name you want to assign to this configuration.

    The Printer Configuration dialog appears, showing General, Job Holds, and Notification configuration tabs.

  5. Assign the configuration properties you want for print jobs.

    For specific information about these tabs, refer to the online help or Configuration Options.

    If you want to lock certain configuration properties so that workstation users cannot modify them, see Setting Configuration Locks.

  6. Click OK at the Printer Configuration dialog.

    The Configuration view for the NDPS Printer Details page appears with the new configuration listed.

    Your new configuration will not be saved until you have done this.
