DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK

The RPRINTER does not have access to the queue or the data for a job in the queue. The RPRINTER configuration allows for multiple queues to provide access to the attributes of the associated virtual printers.

DocuPrint NPS as a print server or as a remote printer

Before installing DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network, first determine whether you want the DocuPrint to function as a print server or a remote printer.

Choosing a Print Server or Remote Printer Configuration

The following contrasts the Print Server (PSERVER) configuration with the Remote Printer (RPRINTER) configuration for your DocuPrint NPS.

•

•

The PSERVER configuration uses a licensed connection to a File Server. The RPRINTER configuration connects to a Print Server, and does not require a regular client connection.

Using the PSERVER configuration, DocuPrint NPS can obtain job attributes from the Novell Queue.

Note: The RPRINTER configuration cannot do this, and this leads to some irregularities, such as no job and submitter names, as well as an inability to select duplex through the submission interface.
