NetWare printing

The NetWare architecture for printing is comprised of the following:

Printers

These are the physical printers, which may be attached either to NetWare file servers, NetWare machines dedicated as print servers, NetWare workstations, or directly to the network. The network printer falls into the last category.

Print queues

These queues are found on NetWare file servers where print jobs are stored before printing.

Print servers

These are programs that transfer print jobs from the print queues to the printers. Print servers may operate from various points in the NetWare network:

•They may be present on the NetWare file server (RPRINTER mode). This puts an additional load on the file server.

•They may be present on the printers themselves (PSERVER mode). This relieves the file server of a printing load and does not require any dedication of NetWare machines as print servers. Printing performance will be improved as the printer will have optimized software and hardware to accommodate network printing. Also, the print server and physical printer are in close proximity and print data need not travel over the network from print server to printer.

Additionally, printers connected to NetWare workstations may be shared with the rest of the network. This is done by running RPRINTER on the workstation and configuring the printers as Remote Printers. Print servers on the network may then interact with the RPRINTER program on the
