DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK

The setting of the Novell banner pages switch operates successfully using PSERVER (this toggles the ElideHeader attribute).

If Banner Page is requested with RPRINTER, DocuPrint NPS prints a Novell-generated ASCII banner page as the first page of a job, and will print the entire job as an ASCII file (500 pages could be generated when requesting a banner page regardless of the actual file contents.)

With PSERVER, multiple copies are requested as a job attribute; DocuPrint NPS receives only one copy and prints multiple copies.

With RPRINTER, since most remote printers cannot process a request for multiple copies, the Print Server will send the job multiple times to print multiple copies, tying up network and DocuPrint NPS resources as the file is processed.

With PSERVER, a DocuPrint NPS can receive jobs from only one print queue on one File Server, but users can submit jobs to different DocuPrint NPS virtual printers using Novell forms. The administrator uses the PRINTDEF program to create forms with the same name as DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. Users then select a virtual printer by selecting a form with the same name using the User Tools program in the NetWare Tools folder of Windows, or the -F option in the DOS CAPTURE command.

With RPRINTER, the Print Server can direct jobs to different virtual printers, from multiple queues, possibly on multiple file servers.

The PSERVER configuration allows the submitter to determine when printing is complete. Jobs are retained in the Novell queue until DocuPrint NPS completes printing them. This may fill up the queue in some environments.

The RPRINTER configuration informs the submitter only when the job has been submitted, even though it may print days later.

PSERVER requires that unencrypted login is enabled on the Novell File Server, to which PSERVER connects. Regular Novell clients will still use encrypted passwords.

RPRINTER does not require that unencrypted logins be permitted.
