With NetWare
®

®
has released a new preferred printing
system called Novell
®
Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the
print server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the
NetWare
®
5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.
NDPS Manager
This creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at
the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.
You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before
creating server-based printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls
a printer attached directly to the server, you must load the manager
on the server that the printer is attached to.

In NetWare

administrator, navigate to the area you want the
NDPS manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS
Manager and click OK.

Enter an NDPS manager name.

Browse to a server (which has NDPS installed but no NDPS
manager installed) where you want to install the NDPS manager
and then to the volume you want the NDPS manager database
assigned to. Click create.
