DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
D-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS
• If a Novell user wishes to access a given virtual printer, a form
with the same name as the virtual printer must be defined by
the NetWare administrator. The user must specify that form for
the job.
• The Novell system administrator must create form names to
match the names of DocuPrint NPS virtual printers.
• The form name can have a maximum of twelve characters, and
the first character must be alphabetic.
If a form name is not used, a virtual printer with the same name as
the queue is used.
Forms are defined on the Novell server using the Novell PRINTDEF
program. (Use a prefix such as “DP” to distinguish them from other
form names.)
Note: DocuPrint NPS is not using a form in the Novell sense. It
reads the name field of the form specified, and interprets it as a
DocuPrint virtual printer. None of the form attributes other than name
is read.
Remote printer (RPRINTER)
A Novell remote printer workstation (DocuPrint NPS printer
controller) is a vehicle for the print server to move print data to a
printer that is not directly connected to the print server. The remote
printer software runs on a workstation that connects to a remote
printer through a parallel or serial port.
The remote printer software communicates with a print server
running print server software. The print server services jobs from the
print queue and sends the data over the network through a SPX
connection to the RPRINTER. The RPRINTERs are associated with
DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. There can be up to sixteen
RPRINTERs on the Novell file server.
