HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS

NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing architecture developed by Novell, in partnership with Hewlett-Packard. NDPS simplifies and streamlines the administration of network printing. It eliminates the need to set up and link print queues, printer objects, and print servers. Administrators can use NDPS to manage networked printers within the NetWare 4.11, NetWare 4.2, intraNetWare, and NetWare 5 environments.

The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is an NLM developed by HP to provide functionality and compatibility with Novell's NDPS. It seamlessly integrates HP JetDirect-attached printers into the NDPS environment. Using the HP Gateway, an administrator can view statistics, configure gateway settings, and configure printing for HP JetDirect-connected printers.
