Printing

1.Is there a maximum size print job I can send to the PSA? There is no limit for a file size that the PSA can handle.

2.How does the PSA work with my existing print spooling strategy?

It can offload printing tasks from servers and localize print traffic at remote sites. For details, see the product overview.

3.What is the Microsoft Point and Print feature and how does it work?

Point and Print is a Microsoft term to describe the automatic installation of drivers on the printer client. It involves two steps. The first step is installing a shared driver on a network print server or print server PSA.

The second step is "pointing" to the print server or PSA from a network client for driver installation on the client. This process is also sometimes described as a network installation of a printer driver.

4.Can the PSA accept print jobs from UNIX clients?

Print jobs are accepted from HP-UX, Solaris, and any other RFC 1179-compliant LPD clients. To set up LPD printing, go to the LPD page in the PSA's web interface (under Network Settings).

5.Can I print in a Novell environment?

Yes. If the Microsoft networking client is loaded and the IP address is properly configured on the client and printer, then the PSA can be used. However, the PSA will not appear as a Bindery object or as an NDS object on the Novell server.

6.What is the limit on the number of jobs that can be spooled?

Up to 10,000 jobs can be spooled at a time, which might be further restricted by the disk space available on the PSA.

7.How are print jobs sent to the PSA?

Clients send print jobs via SMB or LPD to the PSA. SMB (Server Message Block) is the normal Microsoft
