Instead of having print jobs go straight from the PC or Mac to the printer, you could have
them all go to a central holding area (a queue), where they wait for the printer to become
available. Using a print queue is a very efficient method for a busy
printing environment. This gives you the ability to manage print jobs,
including deleting jobs, rearranging them, holding the queue while the
printer is being serviced or is jammed, or even limiting jobs by certain
criteria.
A Novell queue is an intermediate holding area; the printer must still be
attached to the network through one of the methods listed on the server set up page (although
using a PC as the print server is not recommended in this case, as it
makes the setup somewhat more difficult).
To print to a Novell queue or manage a Novell queue, you will need to have the Novell
Client installed on your machine (works for both PCs and Macs). Additionally, you will
need a Novell server to host the queue. The ACCC hosts print queues on
its Novell Servers; it's a service included with Novell services offered
to departments, which is called Server Services. We can also set
up your print server to receive print jobs from Novell servers, if you use
an M202 or an HP card. To read more about Server
Services, pricing, and options, see our
Server Services web page.
