Disadvantages of using RPRINTER in NetWare 3.x:

Little information is available about the print job. After a job leaves a print server queue, it is removed from the queue, regardless of whether it actually prints. This could cause a print job to be lost, if the printer is turned off in the middle of the print job. This is inherent in the NetWare design.

PSERVER in NetWare 3.x

Advantages of using PSERVER in NetWare 3.x:

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

•Does not require you to unload PSERVER.NLM or restart your computer after installation.

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

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 networks.
