NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING 6 - 3
Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare5
With NetWare 5, Novell has re leased a new preferred printing
system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the
Print/Fax server can be con figured, NDPS must be installed o n the
NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.
NDPS Manager
This creates a NDPS manage r that interacts wit h services running at
the server and manages an unlim ited number of printer agents.
You have to create an NDPS manage r within an NDS tree before
creating server-based pr inter agents. If the NDPS manager co ntrols
a printer attached di rectly to the server, yo u must load the manager
on the server that the printer is attached to.
1
In NetWare administrat or, navigate to the area you want the
NDPS manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS
Manager and click OK.
2
Enter an NDPS manager name.

Browse to a server (which has NDPS installed but no NDPS
manager installed) where you want to install the NDPS manager
and then to the volume y ou want the NDPS manager databas e
assigned to. Click create.
