Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway
The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway creates and controls NDPS printers using one of three methods:
•Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway to create public access printers. You create public access printers using the Public Access Printing configuration feature of the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway NetWare Loadable Module™ (NLM™) at the server console.
•Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway configuration utility for NDPS Manager to create public access printers. You create public access printers through the NDPS Manager console at the server.
•Using NetWare Administrator to create either public access or controlled access printers. You create either public access or controlled access printers directly through NetWare Administrator (NWAdmin).
HP Jetdirect Print Servers
IPX™
Most HP Jetdirect print servers are supported by the HP Printer Gateway. However, some of these older print servers must be upgraded or replaced.
TCP/IP
To print through TCP/IP, this protocol must be supported on the HP Jetdirect print server. Most of the HP Jetdirect print servers support TCP/IP, with the exception of the HP Jetdirect 150X (HP product number J2592A) and some older single-protocol HP Jetdirect print servers.
To find out if IPX or TCP/IP is supported on an HP Jetdirect print server, print its configuration page.
