NPRINTER vs. PSERVER in IntraNetWare

NetWare Directory Services (NDS)

Print servers are fully supported in IntraNetWare NDS, using either NetWare NPRINTER or PSERVER. If you use bindery emulation, you cannot use NPRINTER.

NPRINTER in IntraNetWare NDS

Advantage of using NPRINTER in NDS:

•Does not require a NetWare server user license

Disadvantages of using NPRINTER in NDS:

Little information is available about the print job. After a job leaves a print server queue, it is removed from the queue, regardless of whether it actually prints. This could cause a print job to be lost if the printer is turned off in the middle of the print job. This is inherent in the NetWare design.

Notes about printing performance:

Many people prefer to configure their print servers in PSERVER. In early versions of NetWare, PSERVER performance was significantly better than NPRINTER/RPRINTER performance.
