Choosing NPRINTER/RPRINTER or PSERVER
When configuring your print server, you’ll have to set it up in either NPRINTER/RPRINTER or in
PSERVER.
How NPRINTER/RPRINTER works
A MarkNet print server configured in NPRINTER/RPRINTER acts as a remote printer. This remote
printer receives print jobs from a NetWare print server. The NetWare print server, a program called
PSERVER.NLM running on a NetWare server, obtains print jobs from a queue and sends them to the
remote printer.
How PSERVER works
A MarkNet print server set up in PSERVER acts as a NetWare print server attached to NetWare
servers. This print server obtains print jobs from queues located on one or more file servers.
PSERVER print servers actually log into NetWare servers as a NetWare client and require one
NetWare user license per PSERVER device.
NPRINTER vs. PSERVER in IntraNetWare
NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
Print servers are fully supported in IntraNetWare NDS, using either NetWare NPRINTER or
PSERVER. If you use bindery emulation, you cannot use NPRINTER.
