Creating HP Public Access Printers Using the NDPS Manager at the Server Console
Manually create a public access printer (Printer Agent) at any time and attach it to the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway. The advantage of this method is that it lets you choose the name of the Printer Agent while you create it.
The NDPS Manager automatically loads the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway and displays the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway main menu. If the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is already loaded, the NDPS Manager automatically starts the printer gateway and returns to the Configuration menu screen.
