Herman:

RTFM.  There are 5 steps to creating and enabling a printer.

1.  Create a print queue.  Pconsole->Print Queue Information.  Press Insert
and name your queue.

2.  Create a print server.  Pconsole->Print Server Info.  Press Insert and
enter the name of your print server.

3.  Configure a network printer (up to 16 in NW 3.12).  Pconsole->Print
Server Info.  Select the Print Server you created.  Choose Printer
Information and press Insert.  Configure your printer as local or remote,
and assign it to the appropriate port.  (This gets complicated fast. Read
the manual.)

4.  Assign the printer to service a queue.  From the Print Server
Configuration menu, select a printer and then choose Queues Serviced By
Printer.  Press Insert and select the queue to be assigned to the printer.

5.  At the server console, load the new print server.  LOAD PSERVER 

If you follow the steps in your Print Server manual, you will be able to
set up network printing easily.
