Disadvantage of using PSERVER in NDS:

Requires a NetWare server user license for each PSERVER device

Also, in IntraNetWare you can “pool” printers by assigning a single print queue to multiple printers, or “share” printers by assigning multiple print queues to a single printer. Be careful when configuring “pooled” printer environments because the printers need to have the same capabilities in terms of printer data stream and resources such as fonts, forms, internal memory, resolution, and so on. Though Novell recommends assigning one print queue per printer for ease of management, it may be useful to “share” a printer between multiple queues when a printer supports multiple emulations such as PostScript and PCL.
