DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
•
•
•
If a Novell user wishes to access a given virtual printer, a form with the same name as the virtual printer must be defined by the NetWare administrator. The user must specify that form for the job.
The Novell system administrator must create form names to match the names of DocuPrint NPS virtual printers.
The form name can have a maximum of twelve characters, and the first character must be alphabetic.
If a form name is not used, a virtual printer with the same name as the queue is used.
Forms are defined on the Novell server using the Novell PRINTDEF program. (Use a prefix such as “DP” to distinguish them from other form names.)
Note: DocuPrint NPS is not using a form in the Novell sense. It reads the name field of the form specified, and interprets it as a DocuPrint virtual printer. None of the form attributes other than name is read.
Remote printer (RPRINTER)
A Novell remote printer workstation (DocuPrint NPS printer controller) is a vehicle for the print server to move print data to a printer that is not directly connected to the print server. The remote printer software runs on a workstation that connects to a remote printer through a parallel or serial port.
The remote printer software communicates with a print server running print server software. The print server services jobs from the print queue and sends the data over the network through a SPX connection to the RPRINTER. The RPRINTERs are associated with DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. There can be up to sixteen RPRINTERs on the Novell file server.
