This performance difference is less for IntraNetWare. Actual print job throughput is affected by many other factors such as topology, job size and content, and print server settings. Under many circumstances, NPRINTER provides an excellent IntraNetWare NDS solution.

PSERVER in IntraNetWare NDS

Advantages of using PSERVER in NDS:

•Does not require that PSERVER.NLM be installed on the NetWare server

•Increases performance. Although overall print job throughput is affected by many factors, file transfer time on the network may be faster using PSERVER because:

In NPRINTER/RPRINTER, NetWare uses SPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data transmitted in SPX is 512 bytes.

In PSERVER, NetWare uses IPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data transmitted in IPX is up to 1 Kilobyte for Ethernet and up to 4 Kilobytes for Token-Ring networks.

Because of this difference in packet size, PSERVER may be faster than NPRINTER/ RPRINTER. Actual IPX packet size is negotiated by the client application. This actual IPX packet size is often less than the maximum because of packet size limitations of gateways and routers.

If printing is a significant part of your network traffic, and if network traffic is a proven concern for your network, you may find it better to use the print servers in PSERVER.
