DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network
Installation Planning Guide D-5
Using Novell forms to specify virtual printers
Novell allows the user to specify a form that has a name,
number, length and width.
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS uses Novell form names to specify
virtual printers.
• 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 the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS 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: DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS is not using a form in the Novell sense. It reads the name field of the form specified, and interprets it as a DocuColor virtual printer. None of the form attributes other than name is read.
Remote printer (RPRINTER)
A Novell remote printer workstation (DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS
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.
