[comp.sys.novell] Novell Management & Print server Recommendations

noyce@incstar.uucp (02/22/91)

A couple of questions -

1 - What print server software do people use, and how does it work?  We are using
LanSpool, which works fine most of the time, but whenever traffic gets too heavy,
it appears to get confused, and queues stop working, and sometimes jobs don't even
complete printing

2 - What type of LAN management software is available?  In particular, it would
be nice to be able to archive, and remove files as desired on a regular basis.
I have a monthly responsibility to do a full backup, then remove certain files,
so we have room on the file-server for the next month.  I have a program which
will let me delete files by date, but it would be nice to be able to automate
this somehow.

We are using:
Novell 2.15 SFT/Advanced
PS/2 Model 80
4mg of memory
350 mg of HD
2 Thomas-Conrad ArcNet cards

All workstations are PC-compatibles, and are running the
standard Thomas-Conrad ArcNet cards.  We elected to use the
Twisted-pair media.

Any questions/comments would be welcom.
