Configuration Options Help 1 of 3
Use ATPSCON to configure ATPS.NLM. This module enables Macintosh users to print to NetWare print queues, and non-Macintosh users to send jobs to printers on an AppleTalk network. The main menu contains these options:
Quick Configuration
Use this option to set up a NetWare print queue for Macintosh users printing to an AppleTalk printer. When you use this option, ATPSCON creates a default spooler and queue for a selected AppleTalk printer.
Configure Printer Servers
Use this option to configure an ATPS printer server to service NetWare print queues.
<Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
Configuration Options Help 2 of 3
Configure Spoolers
Use this option to configure an ATPS spooler. A spooler receives print jobs from a Macintosh user and sends them to its associated NetWare queue. Spooler names appear in the Macintosh Chooser; queue names do not. Therefore, a queue must have a spooler for Macintosh users to access it.
Define Printer Models
Use this option to view, create, modify, or delete the printers to which ATPS sends jobs.
Log Options
Use this option to view the system log and printer logs, and to set the level of information that ATPS writes to the system log, the system console, and the ATPS console screen.

Printer Lookup Help Help 1 of 1
Use this window to find available printers on the AppleTalk network.
Select both the model of the printer you want to find and the AppleTalk zone where it is located. Then, select (Perform Lookup). Allow a few seconds to find all the printers.
The list of available printers includes the names of hidden printers.
If no printers respond, you can attempt the lookup again or specify the printer explicitly.
<Esc>=Exit Help
Quick Configuration Help 1 of 1
This option enables you to quickly create a spooler, a print queue, and a printer server. You begin by selecting a printer to service a NetWare print queue. ATPS then creates a spooler and gives it the same name as the printer, with the letters NW added to the beginning of the name. The utility then creates a queue with the same name as the spooler; this queue resides in the current Directory Services context. ATPS uses default values for all other configuration options.
When you indicate that you want to enable the Quick Configuration settings, the spooler, queue, and printer server are available for modification using other ATPSCON options. If you save the configuration as disabled, ATPS saves your settings but does not use them. You can modify your settings and then activate them by enabling the configuration.
<Esc>=Exit Help
Configure Printer Servers Help 1 of 1
Use this option to create, modify, or delete a printer server.
Each printer server has a number associated with it. This number may change when you enter this window. When a printer server name appears with a (-) appended to it, the configuration is disabled. To re-enable a disabled printer server, or to disable an active printer server, highlight its name and press <F3>.
<Esc>=Exit Help
Configure Spoolers Help 1 of 1
Use this option to create, modify, or delete a spooler. You must create a spooler for a Macintosh user to submit a job to a NetWare queue.

Accept Binary Data Help 1 of 2
Use this option to specify whether you want the spooler to accept binary data from Macintosh clients.
Specify Yes if all printers servicing the spooler's queue are connected via AppleTalk or another binary-capable communications channel.
Specify No if any printer servicing the spooler's queue is connected via a serial, parallel, NetWare Remote, or any other non-binary communications channel
<Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
Accept Binary Data Help 2 of 2
You may specify Use Binary Encoding to instruct the spooler to encode any binary data in the job using the Adobe Binary Communications Protocol printer (BCP) or the Adobe Tagged Binary Communications Protocol (TBCP). If the printer model you selected supports neither of these protocols, selecting this option is the same as selecting "No". Otherwise, ATPS will encode binary characters in the job using the relevant protocol. Using either of these protocols gives the best result when sending PostScript data over a non-binary communications channel. If you choose this option, make sure all printers that will service the queue support the protocol to be used and are not connected via binary-capable communications channels such as AppleTalk.
