HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing architecture
developed by Novell, in partnership with Hewlett-Packard. NDPS
simplifies and streamlines the administration of network printing.
It eliminates the need to set up and link print queues, printer
objects, and print servers. Administrators can use NDPS to manage
networked printers within the NetWare 4.11, NetWare 4.2,
intraNetWare, and NetWare 5 environments.
The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is an NLM developed by HP to
provide functionality and compatibility with Novell's NDPS. It
seamlessly integrates HP JetDirect-attached printers into the
NDPS environment. Using the HP Gateway, an administrator can
view statistics, configure gateway settings, and configure printing
for HP JetDirect-connected printers.
