DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network

•With PSERVER, a DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS can receive jobs from only one print queue on one File Server, but users can submit jobs to different DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS virtual printers using Novell forms. The administrator uses the PRINTDEF program to create forms with the same name as DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS 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 the printing system 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.

The following table lists the differences between DocuColor 2060

NPS/IPS as a print server or as a remote printer.
