NPDS Configuration (Netware 4.11 and Above)

Overview

In 1998, Novell released a new printing system designed to mak e network
administration of printers easier and more fully functional. This system is
called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS), and ca n be used with Novell
Netware 4.11 and above along with the supporting software on client s. This
section gives high-level instructions to inst all and use NDPS with the printer.
These instructions assume that you understand NDPS archit ecture well
enough to be able to use these instructions along with Nov ell’s instructions to
install the NIC into NDPS. See Novell’s documentation to better understand
terms not defined here.
The drivers used with the P5000LJ printer can be automat ically downloaded
into a Windows machine when a NDPS printer is installed, i f the driver is
installed into the NDPS Broker Resource Management Service. See Novell’s
documentation for more information.
The NIC can be installed into NDPS using the Novell Printer Gate way feature
of NDPS. Within this Novell Printer Gateway, use the following various printer
connection modes to install the printer into NDPS:
•setup using Forward Jobs to a Queue Mode
•setup using LPR Mode
•setup using PPRINTER Mode
Note If it is an NDS pserver, only enter the PSERVER name and not the context
(e.g.,
sales_ps
).
