Chapter 7 Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T)
212
NDPS Configuration (Netware 4.11 and Above)
Overview
In 1998, Novell released a new printing system designed to make
network administration of printers easier and more fully functional.
This system is called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS), and
can be used with Novell Netware 4.11 and above along with the
supporting software on clients. This section gives high-level
instructions to install and use NDPS with the printer. These
instructions assume that you understand NDPS architecture well
enough to be able to use these instructions along with Novell's
instructions to install the Ethernet Interface into NDPS. See
Novell’s documentation to understand terms not defined here.
The drivers used with the IBM printer, can be found on
www.printers.ibm.com. For a driver to be automatically downloaded
to a Windows machine when an NDPS printer is installed, the driver
must be installed into the NDPS Broker Resource Management
Service. See Novell’s documentation for more information.
The Ethernet Interface can be installed into NDPS using the Novell
Printer Gateway feature of NDPS. Within this Novell Printer
Gateway, various printer connection modes can be used to install
the printer into NDPS. The ones described here are:
• Setup using Forward Jobs to a Queue Mode
• Setup using LPR Mode
• Setup using RPRINTER Mode
