NDPS Configuration (Netware 4.11 and Above)

Overview

In 1998, Novell released a new printing system designed to make network administration of printers easier and more fully functional. This system is called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS), and can be used with Novell Netware 4.11 and above along with the supporting software on clients. This section gives high-level instructions to install and use NDPS with the printer. These instructions assume that you understand NDPS architecture well enough to be able to use these instructions along with Novell's instructions to install the Ethernet Interface into NDPS. See Novell’s documentation to understand terms not defined here.

The drivers used with the IBM printer, can be found on www.printers.ibm.com. For a driver to be automatically downloaded to a Windows machine when an NDPS printer is installed, the driver must be installed into the NDPS Broker Resource Management Service. See Novell’s documentation for more information.

The Ethernet Interface can be installed into NDPS using the Novell Printer Gateway feature of NDPS. Within this Novell Printer Gateway, various printer connection modes can be used to install the printer into NDPS. The ones described here are:

•Setup using Forward Jobs to a Queue Mode

•Setup using LPR Mode

•Setup using RPRINTER Mode
