HP IP/IPX Gateway for NDPS manual Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway, HP Jetdirect Print Servers

Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway

The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway creates and controls NDPS printers using one of three methods:

•Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway to create public access printers. You create public access printers using the Public Access Printing configuration feature of the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway NetWare Loadable Module™ (NLM™) at the server console.

•Using the HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway configuration utility for NDPS Manager to create public access printers. You create public access printers through the NDPS Manager console at the server.

•Using NetWare Administrator to create either public access or controlled access printers. You create either public access or controlled access printers directly through NetWare Administrator (NWAdmin).

HP Jetdirect Print Servers

IPX™

Most HP Jetdirect print servers are supported by the HP Printer Gateway. However, some of these older print servers must be upgraded or replaced.

TCP/IP

To print through TCP/IP, this protocol must be supported on the HP Jetdirect print server. Most of the HP Jetdirect print servers support TCP/IP, with the exception of the HP Jetdirect 150X (HP product number J2592A) and some older single-protocol HP Jetdirect print servers.

To find out if IPX or TCP/IP is supported on an HP Jetdirect print server, print its configuration page.
