Configuring an NDPS Gateway for IPX

The Novell NDPS gateway for IPX is compatible with queue-based Net- Ware printing technologies. The following procedure describes how to set up and configure NDPS to interface with the printer via queue-based print- ing.

Configuring Queue-Based Printers

Prerequisites:

The print queue you want to reference must already exist.

On a Novell 4.x or 5.x network using IPX, install the printer and the print server.

1In NetWare Administrator, select the container where you want the NDPS Manager object to reside.

2Choose Object Create NDPS Printer.

This causes the Create NDPS Printer dialog box to appear.

3Type a name in the NDPS Printer Name field.

4In the Printer Agent Source field, select Create a New Printer Agent and click the Create button.

This causes the Create Printer Agent dialog box to appear.

5Confirm the Printer Agent name (default is the name of the new printer you are creating) and browse to select the NDPS Manager you want to assign it to.

6At the Gateway Types window, select the Novell Printer Gateway. This causes the Novell PDS dialog box to appear.

7Configure the Novell PDS by selecting the Printer Type and Port Han- dler Type and click the OK button.

This starts the Configure Novell Port Handler configuration wizard.

8In the Connection Type field, click Forward Jobs to a Queue and then click the Next button. (The Port Type options are grayed out when you select the Queue connection type.)

This displays a screen with the Queue Name and Queue User Name fields.

9Provide the queue name and queue user name.
